Look, he *is* described as half-Maori in the books, so I don't know...Rule of Cool? Or to emphasize how truly "international" this effort against the aliens is?

Vote Locke and Demosthenes

So it goes.

STOP using images from the awful David Lynch Dune movie, when the Scifi Channel miniseries was far more faithful and simply a better production.

Much of the anger is over how SyFy let Battlestar Galactica/Caprica and Stargate Universe get so bad; well the decline of BSG itself in seasons 3 and 4 since 2004, the whole changeover to "SyFy"....only to then have their TWO major franchises fail so badly in 2010 to 2011 that they had to yank BOTH from the airwaves.

I confused her with Alfre Woodard, who was in First Contact. Yeah, I could see a woman like Alfre or Angela as the tough but understandable commander.

The re-election after three weeks thing struck me as absurd too; my GUESS is that Amanda wasn't elected in the first place; she was Deputy Major under the old lady, who resigned (allegedly for medical reasons) in order to "pass the torch" and give Amanda a leg-up in the coming elections by being the actual mayor for a…

It's not as if I have that memorized, I just looked it up.

This was an awful episode, I loved the other episode but was disappointed by this; the only redeeming value were the Tarr scenes and some of the Nolan/Irisa background.

Is it possible, I wonder, to study a bird so closely, to observe and catalogue its peculiarities in such minute detail, that it becomes invisible? Is it possible that while fastidiously calibrating the span of its wings or the length of its tarsus, we somehow lose sight of its poetry? That in our pedestrian…

You have a woman's skin, my lord!

This is how pandemics start you maniacs!

"Subaltern"? Fancy words.

Objects are made by men, and used for many purposes, but we never love objects.

That's the whole point of how the retcons made no sense: "the Cylons" didn't know about Earth; Cavil was presented as being aware that Earth existed, and that it's where the Final Five came from, but even he didn't know its exact location, and because he lost the other Final Five he couldn't know — but like, Leoben…

My running theory is that the only satisfying answer will be if the Doctor's answer breaks the fourth wall, by admitting he is fully aware that he is a TV character (like Deadpool from Marvel Comics) - and that the name "Doctor Who?" is itself a reference to the TV show his universe resides in. However, the Doctor's…

Some sort of reflex action?

A bookstore? This man is obsolete.

Lost wasn't as bad as BSG or Heroes...Lost was kind of going for "mysterious magical island" since the beginning. Yes it got worse as it went along, it became unsatisfying for plotlines that didn't advance too much, but....their whole strategy was to wholeheartedly embrace the Christ Carter Effect in a way never done…

Here, I have added it to their wiki-page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlesta…

Let's see how long it takes before the brainwashed morons who thought Starbuck's death and resurrection were great writing try to remove that. It's like Morpheus said about the blue pills in the Matrix: some of them have been in so…
