I like that one and I’ve also just assumed he’s the guy in charge when Adama, Tigh, Apollo & Starbuck are theoretically sleeping. They do have to operate 24/7.
But then they show him on duty at the same time as everyone else and I get confused again.
Oh, frak. Just give him his own show. Battlestar Galactica: The Night Shift.
Sig line!
Delightful … the Hogan’s Heroes/Stalaag 17 retarded story arc ends with the pointless loss of the only modern battlestar left, as well as depleting any and all mystique remaining to the Toasters, humanoid or otherwise.
Of course, the Pegasus had the ability to manufacture the Mark VII Vipers.
:rolleyes:
And now we get to limp through endless cycles of post-WWII, Vichy and Nuremberg-style consequences of the collaborators from planetside.
Wait, so now he’s obligated to give the another of left’s pet issues what you all determine to be “adequate” screen time? Be grateful you got the nice Iraq parallels with the Occupation.
If you don’t like the show, why do you watch it? 
Well, out of fairness, I love the show, and I bitch about things incessantly in my usual, annoying, nitpicky way that I need to get under control.
However, that review does look like something more in line with someone who plain doesn’t like the show.
Sometimes, I find myself wondering if Moore is choosing plots simply because they’ll annoy the maximum number of Internet persimmons.
And then I think, “Way to go, Ron.”
It’s still head-and-shoulders better than any number of reality shows put together.
Limp?
Some of us will strut. 
Well, yes, but in all fairness so is Captain Kangaroo.
At least when he has animals.
And even though he’s dead.
Let’s review:
BSG > zombie Captain Kangaroo + animals > reality TV > 7th Heaven
Any questions?
The max factor for this series is that it is not just about pert cover girls in oil. Allay your fears that they may ban the sole marriage relationship of man and woman. It would be a vidal topic to bring up as the human race needs to repopulate.
[sub]Sorry, I just had to get that out of my head so that I could move on.[/sub]
It’s a fictional military. The Colonial Fleet’s ranks appear to be a combination of army and navy ranks. For officers it’s; Ensign, Lieutenant Junior Grade, Lieutenant , Captain, Major, Colonel, Commander, Rear Admiral, Vice Admiral, Admiral, and Fleet Admiral. A Commander in the Colonial Fleet translated to an Brigadier General in the US Army, a Rear Admiral (lower half) in the US Navy, and a Commodore in the Royal Navy. Cain was a Rear Admiral (per extended Pegasus. Adama appears to have been made Fleet Admiral (Nagala was FA in the mini). The ranks in conjecture are italics based on that.
For any gamers in the thread, I just saw this today for the first time:

As with any ambitious mod project, there’s a better than even chance that it dies a drama-related death in utero. But it might make it! Fap.

If RDM just doesn’t want homosexuality on his show he should come out and say it. His sneaking around is annoying. BSG’s premise is ripe with possible gay storylines. Colonial civilizations appears to completely lack racism and sexism (except for some naming conventions). Given their lack of hangups on gender roles lets assume that homosexuality may be so well accepted that it’s not in anyway remarkable. Meaning same-sex couples can marry along with their opposite-sex counterparts and a pride parade would never occure to anyone. Now all of the sudden 20,000,000,000 people have died. The human race is at a bottleneck. They literally must populate or perish.
Is that a Freudian slip for a show that had lots of 70’s hair?
The rank question was intended to be of a humoroue nature. I apologize if I whooshed anyone.
I’m really not sure what you’re trying to say but if you’re saying gays are leftist and Iraq parallels are what turns them on then yours is one of the more surreal posts I’ve read in awhile.
RDM has created this imaginary futuristic world where he’s gone out of his way to prominently place women and minorities in roles where they’re clearly established as being strong, intelligent and completely equal.
The absence of a single depiction of a gay character is glaring. The problem now is the longer he waits, the harder it will be to casually introduce one without it coming across like a loud fart in a library. But if he doesn’t introduce one it makes it seem like in the “future”* teh gays* was a defect that was fortunately cured by advanced medical care.
In other news:
Maybe I’m missing a reference here but I thought Roslyn & D’Anna’s hairdos pretty much covered the Prell & blow-dryer set.
alphaboi867: I have removed the double post, as you requested, but your email address seems to have changed. Please change your registration to conform? … I was trying to send you an email acknowledgement, but it bounced.
Ah, but not 70’s hair. Consider Baltar with the anti-70’s hair, oily and unkempt, opposed to clean and perfect, like say a freshly shampoed wombat.
Cleverly changing the subject, I shall remark that I’m not sure what Mrs. Plant objects to; maybe it’s Starbuck being female, maybe it’s just because I like it.
Could be worse. We could disagree about Trek.
