Sci-Fi Channel Renews Battlestar Galactica
Chairboy writes "The Sci-Fi Channel has just announced the renewal of Battlestar Galactica for a second season. The creator of the show has announced that the second season will delve into the religious issues surrounding the Cylons in addition to opening up their society more. The latest episode had 3.2 million viewers, almost twice as many as watched the latest episode of Star Trek Enterprise." I said it before, and I'll say it again- this is the best Sci Fi program currently airing, so I'm happy to see more.
it's going a bit far to say that story lines should be an excuse for space battles.
It was a bit of an overstatement to get my point across.
The main problem I have with BSG is the failed attempt to be 'artistic' and the fact that the story is so sloooooow.
Having watched 13 episodes, the story told in those episodes could have been told in perhaps 5 eps. When watching the show I get the feeling the story isn't going anywhere, there's nothing happening, each episode could be summarized in one line, and you wouldn't have to leave out parts of the story!
If the best the entertainment industry has to offer, God help us all.
If your not a total twit, technology can very well provide some solution to problems. At the very least, such potential solutions need to be acknowledged and weeded out just so you don't make the characters look too-stupid-to-ive.
This kind of problem solving has gone on all the time in REAL SPACE EXPLORATION. This is why US astronauts are required to have a serious science or engineering background so they can think on their feet when they are out on their own with no prospect of an easy rescue.
At least some character should have mentioned the large oxygen extraction facilities that the Galactica obviously has as well as the fact that Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe.
Fretting over H20? What losers.
A Pirate and a Puritan look the same on a balance sheet.
"Star Trek sucks because the characters aren't flawed enough."
"Nintendo sucks because their perfect gameplay is in the context of little plumbers and tiny plant men"
"X rocks because they like, swear, and offend people
etc, etc, please....someone explain this to me like the four year old I obviously am. Extra points for avoiding some "post 9/11" bullshit.

You say "religious nut job" at first, and then you gloss over who actually proposed that bill in Virginia. You also say "he made it illegal". Sorry, bills don't just get activated by a delegate. The house votes on these things, ya know.
If you want to blame someone, blame the democrats of Virginia, not the religious.
