Haha. :)

the accepted nomenclature is "crysturbating."

Seriously, it doesn't matter.

SERIES SPOILERS

According to Moore during one of the S1 podcasts/commentary tracks, Helo was originally just supposed to be in the miniseries and never be heard from again after he gave up his spot on the plane for Baltar. But they were so curious about what the character might get up to on Caprica that they essentially created his…

bye.

Again and again with the strawmen. If you must continue to debate, please respond to what I'm actually saying rather than some imaginary weak-sauce version of my arguments.

fair on all counts.

If you're actually interested in seeing a non-Christian first officer with a fully-realized character, including traits, flaws, and a specific religion rather than a broad, bland, static noble-savage spiritualism, I strongly encourage you to check out Maj. Kira in, you guessed it DS9. The Bajoran religion (and her…

Genesis is dumb thriller silliness, but Sub Rosa is just awful, top to bottom.

I think they actually address this in the show; something something "reminds me how i was when i first learned" something something.

Maybe actually watch the thing to see what people are talking about. Or just pull out a thesaurus. "Dark" means more than lighting choices; "gritty" means more than "dirty hallways".

DS9 physically sat there, but in terms of ambition it outstripped all the other series. It took the show in a new, darker direction than any Trek that had gone before. It was also an early foray into serialized storytelling in genre fiction (predating even Buffy), and expanded the ST universe in a lot of really…

not only that, but I'd wager that late-series Mulder and Scully are still traipsing around on that island, dodging cylon attacks.

season 7! yes, thank you. s6 was still strong.

my god, has it already been a decade? i might have to sit down and rewatch this.

whatever episode it was (the racist one? i bet it was the racist one), it only gets better from there. except the clip show that closes out season 2, and season 6's "sub rosa" (aka "doctor crusher has sex with an ancient scottish space-ghost). but at least those two missteps aren't racist.

same reason every planet in the Battlestar Galactica reboot looks like the woods outside of Vancouver?

technically speaking, the ship they are flying in IV would be a spoiler for III, which itself is a spoiler for II. But if you've literally never encountered Star Trek before it won't matter much anyway.
