I found an interesting story about Battlestar Galactica..

It almost makes me want to break my TV embargo. I would watch the show if they had released these seasons into the Blockbuster stores. That's the only way I watch most TV shows. (though I did watch the mini-series).
((-- Humans created a breed of robots called Cylons to work on what is called the Twelve Colonies of Kobol (in space) under human control. But the Cylons rose up and fought a war against the humans. There was a truce that lasted for decades -- but in that time, the Cylons evolved from prototypical machines into human form. ))
What I want to know is what Operating system do the Cylons run on? If it's Windows ME, we might have a chance to defeat them by having as many programs running at the same time as possible.
So now that the Cylons are more human, do they have scandals like the Mark Foley thing? Are their leaders as clueless as our congress and President?
((-- With a stunning blond Cylon named Number Six (Tricia Helfer) able to dupe a famed scientist and Vice President Gaius Baltar (James Callis) into revealing state secrets, the Cylons mounted a surprise attack that wiped out most of the human race. Those that were left fled in a ragtag group of spaceships, led by Adm. William Adama (Edward James Olmos), piloting the warhorse relic Battlestar Galactica. ))
Perhaps, it's time for Number Six and Seven of Nine to “get it on”, er I mean fight. We'll call it the 6of9 Fight: The cyborg vs. ex-cyborg. Who wins? The fanboys!
it is very dissappointing that blockbuster does not carry battlestar galactica. but season 2 is most definitely worth checking out. but i'm addicted to the show, so i'm slightly biased. lol

You know I just saw the new season opener on Sci-fi this weekend! I was surprised the network did that. It was an amazing episode. I think some people aren't going to like the similarities to current events in Iraq. The fact that some of the heroes are now terrorists. Ron Moore might find himself Dixie Chicked...
ReplyDeleteyeah and with the Cylons (being the bad guys) being depicted as Americans, aka torture of prisoners, and acting like a bullying police force, i'm sure he enjoyed the expression of his political views when writing the script.

That's one of the Benefits of Sci-fi, you can get away with modern day themes in a sci-fi environment
ReplyDeleteStrangely enough, the Cylons are the religious extremist though
