Dare we call ourselves "human" if we *don't*?

I realized during this episode that the show would work much better as basically "30 Rock" but about a drama show (within a show), focusing entirely on Skye the intern at Cult. Indeed, I almost think the guy whose brother went missing...was thrown into the mix because the CW execs demanded a "viewpoint character for…

We haven't wasted it yet, and we shouldn't: the international vote will hopefully pick "Cerberus", and save "Vulcan" for a full-sized extrasolar planet.

The main diet of the Gharial is fish...that's why it has a notoriously thin snout, so it can move it around really fast to catch fish. The cat might have been in danger of being bitten, but a gharial - particularly one of that size - really wouldn't have much experience going against a land-animal of that size.

He's on a Bolton-style X-shaped cross.

What made "Hero" bad? I thought it was bad due to just how insulting it was to the fans; they openly admitted they recycled an unused Season 1 script because they were low on time, even though it contradicts things established throughout the TV series — i.e. that Adama had been on Galactica for more than *one year* —…

Wait, didn't the studio slam the brakes on this project?

Dear God, you beat me to it.

I give them the benefit of the doubt that they jumped ahead in time a few weeks so it wouldn't drag out. Then again, Season 2.5 made FREQUENT use of "in media res" as a fallback when they felt they weren't being exciting enough. But particularly "Scar" was among the closest they got to showing a "military campaign"…

Part of the problem is....when you're frantically rewriting episodes *from scratch* all the way down to the wire, I mean passing off entirely new and rewritten scenes to the set to hastily film them...there is ZERO time to "polish" it. This is an overall problem from Season 3 onwards as the show went off the rails. …

You're right, you're right; confusion was just that Caprica is REALLY imitating Mad Men. And also RDM complained a lot that "Rome got the Emmys we should have had!" — so what do they do? Hire the female lead from Rome.

Wait, what did you like about it?

the Mongoose.

This was around the time that the writers started frequently spouting off in the podcasts about how much they loved Mad Men. It's sad really; "Caprica" could have been many things but instead they were....aping the visual noir style of Mad Men?

The Woman King was hastily edited together out of the B plots of other episodes which ultimately weren't fully filmed.... I mean literally. They were so frantically behind schedule and scrapping entire storyarcs, the Sagittaron Storyarc, that they just cobbled together an episode out of spare footage.

No. By Seasons 3 and 4 I became ashamed I watched this show, and it couldn't compare to Seasons 1 and 2. This sort of thing happens when you FIRE HALF YOUR CORE WRITING STAFF between seasons 2 and 3. "Toni Graphia's BSG" was already over.

What was so stupid about it? The parts where Starbuck got mopey about Anders were poorly done as was making Kat into a super pilot without much prior setup, but I can overlook that (it wasn't that I'm against shipping Starbuck/Anders, but what exactly they wanted to convey about her feelings in the episode just…

While I could go on at length (as some of you know) about why this episode of BSG was bad, I will stick to a few points not made already: the editing was godawful, in such a way that it *retconned* and introduced that Apollo 1 - had a fiance who was NEVER mentioned before this episode (or afterwards) and 2 - she was…

Six seasons and a movie!

I can forgive not explaining why the show-within-the-show is that great; we do only see snippets of it, I'm willing to take their word on it. but yeah...it was VERY bizarre that they had no idea how fandom works.
