Well it's not like proper, uniformed militaries are different in that aspect.

Michelle Forbes was by far the best guest star on Battlestar Galactica. And her arc is coming up next week on the Classic Reviews.

Yeah.

Podcast/Commentary highlights:

At least his intellectual and editorial legacy is being carried on by his beloved "New York Post."

General Lane is just a black hole of awfulness as a character, a tired, poorly written caricature. The only somewhat interesting aspect is his relationship with Lucy and Jimmy, which was of course absent from this episode. Dude really needs to be killed off.

"Suck it, Apotheosis!"

These Jeopardy contestants need to watch more Justified.

I wouldn't recommend any first-time viewer read these reviews, they'll see spoilers in the comments in spite of our efforts. The old Sepinwall reviews are the best way to go, or if you want to read a whole novel for every episode, the Television Without Pity reviews after Jacob Clifton picked it up in Episode 2.08.

They never get rid of it, but I feel like it got slightly choppier as time went by. Still best to look away.

No, you wouldn't need 5% sales tax or 10% sales tax. You could still have 6, 7, 7.5, whatever. Each purchase would be rounded, not the tax rate itself.

No. It's already rounded to the nearest penny, now it'll just be rounded to the nearest nickel.

Yeah, it was the same for the consumer electronics. Sometimes it would be computerized paper and holobands, sometimes it would be a laptop with a qwerty keyboard and a windows key.

It's a minor detail, but I always liked how Starbuck's humvee looked like it just rolled out of a present-day National Guard armory. In later episodes Caprica they used obscure or European cars to look less blatantly Earth-like, but those kinds of parallels worked for me. It emphasized the fact that it wasn't meant to…

Yes, you are making up years of TV Club coverage in your head. They only did season 4 when it first aired, then did retrospective reviews on Season 1 last year.

It only makes sense as a false flag attack. A human-shaped figure causing havoc and killing civilians in National City draws negative comparisons with our Kryptonian characters and shows that they can't protect humans. This creates a demand for more military spending and resources to counter the extraterrestrial…

Well, maybe "glossed over" was the wrong phrase. "Insufficiently explored," let's say. It was there, just more understated than the sometimes hysterical style of the novel.

I saw The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 and was disappointed. It was an anodyne, by-the-numbers adaptation that failed to capture the true horror of the book. It glossed over both the severe trauma Katniss goes through, and the overall awfulness of a brutal civil war. Those are the thematic tentpoles of the entire…

I would recommend this Economist article about the serious, growing threat turkeys pose to humanity:

It still is their battle flag. Or rather, the flag of their Ground and Naval Self-Defense Forces.
