'Battlestar Galactica': Why It Might Save Your Marriage
A married couple discusses this sci-fi series' cross-gender appeal

Remote-control couch fights are an ugly thing. Worse is the sad spectacle of his-and-hers TV sets positioned on opposite sides of the house to prevent the hideous cacophony of his televised explosions mixing with her weeping-orphan monologues.

There is hope, though, for the modern couple torn apart by differing tastes in TV. And, thank the gods, there's no reality TV involved. We're talking about "Battlestar Galactica" — the show that just might save your marriage. It's the Reese's peanut butter cup of programming, mixing his peanut butter in with her chocolate for a delicious blend of sex, cyborgs and good old-fashioned space opera.

Inspired by the 1970s original, this "Battlestar Galactica" tells what happens after Cylons attack the human race, sending the survivors on a do-or-die hunt for the mythical planet Earth. The humans must find Earth or die, and the cyborgs will do anything to stop them (including, but not limited to, spine-illuminating sex). Unlike the original series, only some of the Cylons are made of clanking metal. The rest have evolved, and they look just like us (only the female versions are much hotter).

It's great drama, and the fourth season starts April 4.
