Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the probably-because-it-is dept.

  1. And most importantly... by Tackhead · · Score: 5, Funny
    > Adapted from a cheesy '70s Star Wars clone of the same name, Galactica (returning in January) is a ripping sci-fi allegory of the war on terror, complete with religious fundamentalists (here, genocidal robots called Cylons), sleeper cells, civil-liberties crackdowns and even a prisoner-torture scandal.

    ...and most importantly, instead of being guys in clunky robot suits who sound like they're talking through fans, many of the Cylons are teh hawtness. Who is Number One? She is Number Six, and she beats Seven of Nine hands-down.

    Attention authors of lesbian slash fanfic, that is not an invitation to depict... or is it?

    I wonder when the six million dollar man remake comes out?

    We can rebuild him.
