I was fine with the world he created, I just thought the story sucked.

Thank You! What an incredibly over hyped book. By the end I just wanted everyone to die, I hated them all.

Or 2142, that game still has a few issues they never completely addressed.

If your looking for a sit-com, I would agree with you.

In the reboot of BSG, they do the logical things after near genocide, like find ammo, water, and food. The very first episode, "33", is them pushed to the limit as they try to figure out how the Cylons are tracking them.

I think they're pretty clear in the made-for-TV-Movie that the Prez is hopping between systems to gather up the rag tag fleet (she actually orders Adama to help her at one point). I don't recall anything about those ships only coming from Caprica.

This is an off topic but:

That's nobody's business but the Turks.

Okay this is incredible! I wish my daughter was a little older so she could appreciate it.

Somewhere far away, some crippled boy is dreaming of meeting this fish.

The city is built on spokes, not pentagrams. Like European cities built in the same era, important spots in the city are built to be the most defensible. Sitting in the center of a web of roads like this provides the best shot at an attacker regardless of what direction he's coming from.

Wow, talk about utter bullshit, those are really the only two options? You're a craven to the bone, that's the only explanation for your mindset.

So why not have some measure of protection in case it happens?

Don't bother, I watched the first 30 minutes in the theater then went out to the lobby and blew the rest of my allowance on video games.

Crap and I'm in Florida! Have fun all!

Interesting you keyed in on that, I had a room mate in college that had a 2 foot statue of one he got when he was in India. Scary looking thing I never forgot, so when I saw the back cover description it caught my eye as well. The book is full of these non-traditional fantasy races, but he takes it one step further,…

I say start with China Mieville's Perdido Street Station. It's not a perfect book, but the concepts he explores aren't something you've probably read before, not to mention it has one of the best monsters in it this side of Alien.

These are all good, but OMG, the scene last week when Troy came back upstairs with the pizza was sidesplitting.

Ah that's right!

One would hope!
