October was a relatively tame month for TVgasm, but we did have our share of highlights. Sci-fi junkies had to temporarily bid adieu to Battlestar Galactica as its second, much-buzzed-about season came to a close, leaving more questions than a Cylon in a… um… okay, I haven’t jumped on the bandwagon just yet. Feel free to complete the analogy on your own. Also wrapping up was The Surreal Life 5, which ended with Janice and Omarosa duking it out yet again. Ah, these bitches never get old. Okay, they do.

Meanwhile, Smallville hopped on the coolest trend since trucker hats by introducing Aquaman to its multi-abbed ranks. VH1 also contributed something equally as scary to society by bringing us But Can They Sing, a musical competition that featured such luminaries as Antonio Sabato Jr., Kim Alexis, and of course, Bai Ling. Listen at your own risk — it might be more painful than Tammy Gaghan’s face-plant on the back of a van.

And speaking of schlock, CBS aired Vampire Bats, which J-Unit bravely liveblogged. Of course, J-Unit is all about the cheap horror, as evidenced by his detailed report from deep inside The Scorned premiere.

On MTV, Laguna Beach continued to transfix America’s youth, much thanks to Casey whose request for quesadillas has become near legendary — at least on TVgasm. And in “What the?” news, we spotted Real World: Philadelphia‘s Karamo playing it straight on The 5th Wheel. But the real buzz-worthy moments of October came courtesy of The Apprentice which first broadened our musical horizons with the insta-classic song, The Rubble Man. Never before have the lyrics “Medium pimp” and “Freeeeaaaakin!” been so wondrous. And just when we thought nothing could out-shine that glorious moment, the very next week Trump went and fired four people at once! Bloodbath in the boardroom! How would The Donald ever be able to top that? Oh yeah, we haven’t gotten to December yet…

    The bloodbath was funny, but I kind of wish that smug prick Josh had been singled out. He was the worst.

    I can’t wait for the December recap because it’ll probably re-open the Randal/Rebecca debate. Debategasm!

    Fear not fellow geeks. Batttlestar Galactica returns next friday with new episodes. They pulled a “Prison Break” and split their season in half.

    I want me some horny cylon robots!

    lol @ Debategasm.

    Aw the vampire bats…bats with a social conscience killing the druggies and party goers. Actually they were doing a service for society.

    I just played, “Rubble Man” for my infant…she honestly stopped babbling and moving in her exersaucer and looked at me like, “Whaaaa?” during the whole rap.
    She’s evidently inherited SOMEONE’S snark gene… :)
    p.s. does playing that for her and risking permanently warping her for life make me a bad mom?

    How can you recap BSG and not recap the hot, hot… *DROOLING* hot men of Stargate?

    Oh yes, the story lines are great, too.

    As evidenced by his posts, Spedhill is constantly on the lookout for televised kinky hot sex action, e.g. spicy latina lesbos and rampaging robots…

    Does that make him a moron?

    If yes, I fear we are outnumbered.
