    I'm not interested in a series whose name is an anagram of "I C A CRAP!"

      And I think anyone objecting to a show about evil robots whose name is an anagram for "Cyborg tune ho" should be regarded with suspicion.

    I was hoping it would be ADAMA: The College Years.

    Maybe in one episode, Adama has the sorority girls from Caprica Caprica Caprica over for a game of Strip Pyramid.

    That may be a valid point, but I can't trust any comments by One Butch Orgy.

    If it's anything like the "re-imagining" of this show, count me out. No idea why so many people fall for this show. The new BG is below par in just about every aspect of production....

    I'm still waiting for the book before Genesis on the origin of God, It should make quite the prequel.

    You think that BSG is bad? Did you see the Lord of the Rings? Product placement all over the place! Pipeweed this, pipeweed that. Sheeesh! It's a good thing not that many people saw Lord of the Rings, or we might be facing a sequel.
