Andy Hallett, Lorne from Angel, died of heart disease. :(

Agreed. I read someone on another board saying something along the lines of .. ... imagine you go back in time and try to kill Hitler. You fail. Not only do you fail, but your failure is what makes him become Hitler. Of course, it does not explain why Ben hated the Dharma people as much as he did.

My metric here's a simple one - if I notice that the writers are winging it, yeah, it matters. If I don't, I don't. It's kind of like cramming for exams. Nothing wrong with it if you can do it and convince your teachers/professors that you didn't do that, but if you do a shitty job at it ...

Jinx. :p

But it didn't end on a theistic outlook. It ended with god sending his angels or something to get the writers out of a corner they had written themselves into .. and all of the characters basically shrugging their shoulders, without giving any indication of this having in any way affected their...

In a way they've canonized the mental image I'd have of god, if I believed in god. God is a punk. He's playing pranks for shits and giggles. Let's summarize god's actions: -> He stalks Starbuck with a Bob Dylan song all her life, and gives her cryptic visions she can't make out. -> Her...

... no. "Advanced Species" would have been retarded too.

The thing with them having created Greek and Egyptian cultures is a nice idea. Sadly, they messed that one up with the time frame they gave. They arrived on Earth 150 000 years ago, those cultures only came about roughly 5000 years ago.

Your episode is The Omega Glory, which, IMO, is TOS' worst episode. Way more painful than Spock's Brain, which is great in the same way Ed Wood's movies are great.

I did read this .. and I think it's partially right - but only partially. Yes, god has been an important part of the show from the very beginning. But as VL has said, it's been people's BELIEF in god, or gods, that's been an important piece of the plot. Just a few episodes ago, we had Ellen...

I don't think it makes it not-Science-Fiction. I just think it's lame to set up big mysteries, and have the solution be that it was gods, angels, fate, destiny, or just "is" for some reason.

Oh, I got it wrong, btw - the shot from Earth I posted was from an Earlier episode, in which they zoom in on it from infitinity - we don't see Galactica approaching it. So I wasn't as full of shit with my they-never-showed-us-the-nuked-planet statement as I thought I was.

Thing is, though .. I was full of shit when I said that they never showed us the continents on the planet they found from space. I went back and checked - they give us quite a clear view on North America from Space when they arrive at the nuked planet. Courtesy of the Battlestar Wiki, as I'm...

OK, was Juliet mind-fucking Kate?

Snickers don't count - they were called Snickers first, and then rebranded for the British market to disassociate themselves from the American brand they were representing. A strategy they ditched after a while. Twix were "Raiders" for us for some time, under the same policy. "SyFy" is WAY more...

I don't know about anyone else, but I am most certainly NOT going to bother with Caprica.

meh. ;) Not too fond of Juliet in any way, but I'd much prefer having her around to falling back on the Sawyer-Kate-Jack love triangle .. which was just tedious.

That's very true. I've personally experienced just how much more "western", for example, Estonia is than other parts of the former Soviet Union. There are many reasons for this, but one of them is certainly that the Soviet Union never managed to enforce its block against Finnish television and...

I pretty much agree with what GKE said a few posts ago. I'm just a bigger dick about it. I actually AM hoping that the ending will be stupid, because at this point, I'm so over this show that I just want something I can point and laugh at. Something that'll prove what I've felt for a long time...

Alien pussy. :p On a more serious note, Kirk's in space for the same reason Kirk was on El Capitan in Star Trek V - because it's there.
