Tech: What was that?

Adama: That was my son.

And, this series will explain

FUCKING HELL. You go to the trouble of RTFAing before reading the comments, and it's too late to know that there is a MASSIVE SPOILER halfway though the article. I was sure i'd seen the entire 3rd season so it must be a 4th season spoiler.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

PUT A SPOILER WARNING IN THE FUCKING ARTICLE SUMMARY PLEASE! Everyone needs to tag this SPOILER in the meantime.

"Hillary's the final cylon."

[wiredog]

Thanks for the spoiler guys!

That explains so much...

Indeed.HUGE spoilers. Don't RTFA, really.

The problem with BSG has always been that if you miss even one episode, you're screwed trying to re-establish continuity; and now this new news that Optimus Prime is a Cylon is just the last straw.

The "Enterprise" cancellation wasn't murder. It was a mercy killing.

Re:One of the best series ever put on television

[mwvdlee]

It has explosions, no other TV show ever had that before.

Re:The 1980's want their show back

[kalirion]

horribly written, poorly acted, comparatively dirt cheap shows like Atlantis

Dirt cheap? Do you know how much it costs to rent the same acre of forest for every single episode?

Spoilers in the article!

[Millennium]

And in this post as well: Six kills Dumbledore.

But by then they had *really* good object frameworks and a new OS is just like playing with Lego. ;-)

Re:Warning: Spoilers

[Jeremiah Cornelius]

Is this a prequel to Gen-X's Galactica or Gen-Y's?

I want to see the planet of the seventies! Like Logan's Run, with Shaun Cassidy haircuts and Cowl-neck sweaters. MMMMmmm Seymourlicious!

Re:Warning: Spoilers

[jollyreaper]

Spoiler? Yeah, I'll say.

When someone from the audience asked Mary McDonnell, who plays President Roslin, if Barack Obama had approached her to be his running mate, she replied that Hillary had. At which point Douglas quipped: "Hillary's the final cylon." Go and ruin the election for me, why don'cha.

Re:Lets call it a "do over"`

[jollyreaper]

I never understood myself how they made the connection from having a song stuck in their head to being cylons. Peanut butter jelly time! Peanut butter jelly time!

Ha! You're all Cylons now, too!
