Are we watching the same show? Seems to me the show has very much embraced the universe created in the films.

No, it is not.

Doctor Who's the Silence concur with your hypothesis.

POST-EPILOGUE: Yeah huh.

No, the one referred to is from the 80's and based on a Stephen King short story.  It's about a little boy who is left alone with his bed ridden grandmother.  I saw it when it first aired by accident and it freaked me right the hell out.

For the longest time I assumed Hydrox cookies were just a knock off of Oreos.  I was genuinely shocked when I found out that the opposite was actually the truth.

"Wait a minute! Those are yours, sir?"
"Yes, I am in flavor country”
"Both of them?"
“It’s a big country"

You forgot to add the woman being submerged was extremely hot and in her underwear.  That didn't hurt.

So how long before the agents discover an underground fight club where people with super powers are forced to fight against their will?  Because it is the law that every genre show must have at least one episode with this storyline.  Thanks Obama.

You, sir, deserve all the likes.

What exactly was going on in that scene anyway?  Wait, don't tell me.  It's probably best if I don't know the details.

I laughed more at this episode than I have at anything in recent memory.  I can understand why someone wouldn't like it, but for me it totally hit the sweet spot. 

His new show has Andre Braugher.  That alone makes it worthy of at least a single viewing.

Is it good that nothing else on TV is like this show or that this show is nothing like anything else on TV?

At that point I turned to my wife and said, "this episode just got really weird."

That moment was probably the highlight of the entire series for me.  I loved that there was no warning and no explanation.  The characters on the ground just look up and something appears in the sky.  It isn't even clear its the Galactica.  Next thing you know you're with the pilots taking off as the ship plummets. …

At this point I don't believe it can be considered "borderline" any longer.

They have to do Sharknado About Nothing first.

Superman would win every fight but Jesus would keep coming back for more.
