This money could be going to help save Camp Kikakee from the evil developers!

Sorry guys, Wiig would not be out of place on Mad TV. In fact, didn't that show also have a lady who specialized in lampooning middle-aged women?

The difference is that Kara has always been in something of a position of authority. The mutineers are all background players, people who have sacrificed but have had no say in the direction of the fleet.

Racetrack, oh, my dear Racetrack…
I was disappointed to see Racetrack among the mutineers. They've never focused on her character but I always imagined as her being loyal and reliable, not a bitter fuck-up. Ceelix made sense though. That dweeb has always been bitter about her station in life. I really hope Starbuck…

Yeah, my sense is that social norms in our world aren't always observed in quasi-Hellenistic BSG-land.

As for schemey Gaeta: he did do stuff on New Caprica. He fed info on the resistance. He just kind of sucked at it.

No, not really, and I think the Dr. Manhattan thing had already been explored pretty thoroughly in a lot of sci-fi.

Well, it depends on what you mean by "great." Watchmen was obviously innovative within the medium, but I don't think it holds up very well outside that context. I know comic fans hate it when people imply the medium is inherently inferior, so I'm averse to saying something is "great for a comic." That being the case,…

We really need a Godwin's Law equivalent for the whole 'hipster d-bag' thing.

Barry Lyndon is wonderful. The final duel is one of my favorite scenes ever.

Also, while Lynch's Dune is a horrible adaptation, it's a wonderful visual companion.

The comic really isn't all that great. I can see how it may have seemed groundbreaking at the time, especially for comic fans in their late teens/early 20's, but by the time I'd read it, I'd had enough reflections on mortality/mechanistic…

And for those young'uns out there, 'Yakov Smirnoff' was what we called Borat back in the 80's.
