The answer to all your questions is that Michael Moore Fellates with Great Alacrity.
Ah, Skald awakens.
The behemoth lives!
It’s a science fiction cliche that people from Earth land on an alien planet and have no trouble communicating with the natives. There are thousands of planets in the fictional universe where they speak English. It’s happened often enough that “speaking English” does not equal a clue that the planet is really Earth. If it bothers you, just assume that the language has changed over the centuries, but Taylor has a Star Trek type Universal Translator that allows him to understand them.
As for the rest, IIRC the talking apes were genetically engineered as pets/ servants/ slaves after a plague wiped out all cats and dogs.
Whoa.
Instead of a kitten I can carry around inside my shirt I want a chimp that can bite my face off for a pet?
Say What?
I’ve seen a comic where he shaves by using a mirror to reflect his heat vision onto his chin.
I guess he could pluck them with normal tweezers and his super strength.
(For those wondering, the mirror is made from a fragment of the spaceship that carried him from Krypton).
What pinball machine did Doc Brown cannibalize to build the ‘nuclear bomb’ for the Libyans?
I agree, and had he existed in the Galacticaverse, his film probably would have been called either Bowling for Caprica or* Saul Tigh is a Meany-pants, and I Need His Boot Surgically Removed from My Ass*, but he didn’t, and in fairness, not even I can blame him for BSG. Ron Moore, yes, very much, but not Michael.
Actually, in the story I read, it was the wing mirror from a wrecked car.
The story was by Alan Moore. The plot was that Superman catches some fatal Kryptonian disease, heads down south to die, where Swamp Thing finds him and cures him. I don’t recall the comic’s title.
Frak! I Googled BSG to get it right!
Athena on a crutch, what a Freudian slip!
Ok, Ron Moore sucks, Dude. That is the problem.
How do you overcome ancient evil by wandering around singing a song about your own name?
Dude, that’s obvious. So obvious that the author said the clues were clearly evident in a book written…15(?) years ago. Sure, the fact that tens of thousands of fans, including some that are FRIGHTENINGLY DEDICATED haven’t managed to piece it together doesn’t mean he was full of shit.
And, if the conclusion most of the InterNerds reached (Graendel) is the one that actually did it, well, we’re certainly never going to have that confirmed, are we?

Yes, but I doubt with great alacrity. He’s probably as bad at that as he is a producer/writer/director/fucktard.
What was the question that 42 was the answer to? Figure that out, and you may know the answers to all the other questions.
SSG § Schwartz
Actually, the glorious battle thing is exactly what happened - instead of the Starbuck’s Piano-Scored Jump To Wherever, the ship was hit with a particularly hard volley of missiles, and CIC was opened to space. Everything that followed was a dying hallucination of one of the characters - would you begrudge them that?
As for which one - well, it doesn’t really matter. They all wanted a home, safety, love - they’d all have had much the same desperate fantasy.
The important thing is, none of them are wandering around as frakking savages now. They’re in Valhalla.
not sure if this part was sarcasm or not, but Sanderson has said that the killer’s identity was in Jordan’s notes and he will explicitly answer the question once and for all before the series is done.
Dude, the second you posted a comic book question, you should have known it would have been answered somewhere.
A bigger question is, if the shield can be melted to liquid form, is it really indestructible? I’d have preferred there being some sort of chemical reaction between two different melted substances.
Smallville: why was Lana such a horrible person, and why did absolutely no one notice? Is it he same thing that keeps everyone from noticing Clark doing superhuman stuff in front of everyone? Or is she somehow Kryptonite powered?
How does getting swallowed by a space whale give you superpowers?
It was an idiot!
It was a fool!
A slobbering fool
With a speech defect
And a shaking hand!
And he wrote my name
Next to yours…

That is, in fact, exactly what happened.
In the spirit of the OP, I expect we will never learn what that mysterious catalyst was.
You could fill three threads with these from STAR WARS saga, but I’ll just mention Return of the Sith:
Obi Wan tells Annakin the duel on lava planet is lost because “I have the higher ground”. How exactly, using Jedi logic I suppose, is this an advantage when your opponent can fly?
