This is not really anything the show is interested in exploring, but I will say that there's a certain segment of folks who don't really like the idea of the cloud so much and prefer TO have the bits on their devices, no matter how pretty the explanation is of how cool it all is. Sure, sync my devices using your sick…

You know, 100 years ago men like him could've had Boards like that trampled.

I was really torn between my instinct to defend our kind as "not THAT clueless" and my suspicion that yes, some of us are. If it was literally just the three inexperienced ubernerd devs who whipped it up and shipped it out, that I could maybe buy. But Jared surely had to have seen something wrong. Even Erlich seems…

Hm, so we're reading that as "Guilfoyle still sees right through him"? The thing about the previous "lie detection" is, anyone could actually see Zack Woods was a twitchy mess. Whereas he sold that one I thought, until the ominous music started playing and he skulked off to make his phone call. So I thought the bit…

They really shouldn't need users to fine tune every option anyway if it's supposed to "learn and improve on its own". WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT FANCY ASS NEURAL NET, BOYS?

Yeah, what the hell happened with getting their money back from Bighead's turns-out-to-be-sketchy accountant?

I was considering not coming here to squee about the latest episode, but then that shot just floored me. I don't think I've ever had quite that auditory experience before. Beautiful and terrible to behold! The long wind up sequence had me smiling indulgently like "aw, he's having a bit of fun with this twist", but…

I have to say the "you only tested engineers??" "twist" was obvious as soon as Monica had her reaction, but I'm still a little surprised Richard was this oblivious to an extremely common engineer trope. I thought "hire a goddamn designer" was a pretty well-known rule even among us nerds. I would've accepted "Dinesh…

I loved that "But…Terminator" was used in a serious discussion and everyone instantly knew what he meant.

It is, but it's future passive voice so it sounds more badass.

I have less respect for it now that @wiscodisco:disqus has shown us how dead-on it was aping the Facebook ad :)

I honestly thought they'd hire her for something by the end of the half hour. New VP for Outreach :)

Yeah the idea that Richard had to explain cloud storage without using the words cloud storage made me roll my eyes a bit, then shrug. The idea of engineers being unable to communicate with users is universal and overall they sold it well, the specifics were just a little…faked. Kind of like Richard's ex girlfriend…

People don't talk enough about Racetrack, especially after Zack forgot her name a few weeks ago! Forget "New Caprica", this should be called "Racetrack's World"!

It's there for me, much to my chagrin - how am I supposed to catch up if Zack doesn't even break between seasons :)

Well, the Cylons need to get their own priests on board with God before they can start foisting it on another culture :P

I think until my rewatch I had this impression of Leoben being a major part of the show, but going through it now I realize he only really appeared "as himself" at two points: Frakking with Starbuck's head in the interrogation room and frakking with Starbuck's head on New Caprica. Callum Keith Rennie just gave such a…

Looking back on this with more objective eyes, it was pretty stupid of them to basically try to rebuild a pale imitation of Caprica City without any support infrastructure. Geniuses, civilization doesn't start in cities, it starts with agriculture and small villages…

I agree. And this is the problem with complaining about season 5 episodes on a season 2 review…

But Baltar being a petulant child WOULD be consistent with his character. That's not the part that's nuts. The entire logic of the nuke itself makes no sense. 1) Why would he give it away. 2) Why did Baltar think Gina wanted it. 3) What the hell did that protestor peace-with-Cylons guy think Gina wanted with it if he…
