Excessive sewage.
Fermentation.
Profit!

Maybe the baby’s boot image, made from mommy and daddy, is damaged if love’s IRQ is preempted or reassigned?
Does anyone else have shudders after the kidnapping of Hera thinking of the end of the ‘V’ miniseries? 
Not until I read your post.
I hate you, now.
Wasn’t setting up the bar an otherwise-dropped Tyrol plotline from back in Season 3? I know that setting up the still was a Tyrol plotline from back in Season 1.
They have lots of algae now to ferment for rotgut booze. And Saul cleared out all his liquor – that must’ve been enough to supply the fleet for a good long while. Even with Kara drinking, too.
How is using “All Along the Watchtower” any different from that Phillip Glass song attributed to Starbuck’s father in the Season 2 “Valley of Darkness”? Recognizing that Tigh and co. were reciting Watchtower was one of the most mindfraking moments in the series, and a new song could not come close to having the same impact.
There are many cultural parallels (fashion, literature, Greek gods) between BSG’s universe and ours. What is it about Watchtower that’s causing such a problem?
Digging through the Battlestar wiki to find the name of the episode with Glass’s song, I came across this on Starbuck’s dad’s page:
Kinda cool.
To late to edit, but what’s makes it cool is:
Ever since the first mention of hybrid babies, I’ve been thinking her name would be “Elizabeth Harsesis”. It was actually a comedown to find it’s just “Hera”.
Funny, I thought that would be a straight up cribbing of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
How about the end of Cross of Iron? (Maybe we should have a thread about inconclusive and ambiguous movie endings. One of my favorite is The Thing.)
So, three episodes left. Lot of unanswered questions.
That didn’t bother me until you mentioned it. Hrm.
And I’m the guy who complained when Sisko said “cut to the chase” one time on DS9. Double hrm.
Or they could have channeled this great classic from Hee-Haw:
Some ideas for the end of the series–not spoilers, I hope!
They will start with zero carbon footprint and cheap solar and wind power first
I didn’t notice that, but it’s amusing that they put so much effort into changing the phrase “earth shaking” into some other phrase in light of that. And all the IKEA cabinets in the Tyrol Boomer projection.
Why wouldn’t Sisko use that phrase?
Beats the hell out of “Martok and Flimflam. At North Little Rock”, or whatever that guy kept saying to Picard. 
Oh, I love to hate “Darmok.” It’s my favorite nonsense.
“All Along the Watchtower” is a very well-known, popular song that many people already have personal associations with. Now, if it turns out that the BSG universe and ours are supposed to be the same, with BSG taking place in a distant future, I can buy all of these things: the same gods, language, fashion, music, etc. But why wrench a song like “AATW” out of its very firm current cultural context and place it in the BSG universe without any rationale other than the fact that it’s a well-known song, and state that it was not in fact written by Bob Dylan but some Cylon? I feel like there should be a reason for it. Others disagree, and many may be tired of discussing it, which I certainly could understand.
I hear you, and it’s gnawed at me too, for lo these many moons.
But, even if it’s not really supposed to be that specific song, I can still understand its use artistically. The very fact that the song does have a context in our culture means that when it appeared on the show, we had a strange shock of recognition along with the characters whose worldview was suddenly changing.
Well, I shoulda known we already had one. If it weren’t such an old thread I’d get in there and talk about Phantasm.
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke but uh
But you and I weve been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
It is By your command.
