Just over a year after the miniseries aired, the first season of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica launched on 14 January, 2005. It opened with an episode titled 33.

Undertone (2025) – Ian Tuason
Undertone is a smart and engaging horror film. With its slow and ominous camera movements, there’s a constant sense of tension created by the knowledge that there may be something lurking just off camera that you are about to catch a glimpse of. It’s also confined to one location, a home (right here in Toronto)….
