New Battlestar Galactica - Worth a Series?
rwxJava asks: "Ok, so it finally aired! IMHO it was pretty good. The special effects were great (no major laws of physics were broken except maybe FTL travel), the characters, while drastically different from the original, were believable! After about an hour or so, I stopped trying to compare the mini-series with the original. My only complaint has to be the amount of commercials that Scf-Fi put in. I was able to put up a Christmas Tree during one commercial break. Guess the network needs to cash in on such a hyped up event! By the end, I was left wanting more! Anyone else think it is worthy of conversion to a series?" Now that you've have had a time to watch the entire 4-hour epic (does 4 hours really make a "mini-series"?), do you think your earlier comments were on target?
I never said anything about the human ear, I said sound can travel in space. Doucheberry.
There are very few 'definite' laws in physics.
Modern theoretical phsyicists: It's called 'hubris', look it up.
You really are a primitive screwhead. I'm sure that 800 years ago the 'learned' were quite sure of many 'laws' that didn't quite pan out.
It's called a 'typo' - not a spelling mistake, rocket surgeon.
Let's look at Newtonian physics. It sure did pass a lot of tests, and not too long ago people would have scoffed at relativity or quantum theory.
The fact is that modern physics is so full of itself, pronouncing "law" this, and "rule" that. It's really setting itself up for a big fall.
