The Science of Battlestar Galactica

gearystwatcher writes "TV science adviser Kevin Grazier talks about getting rid of the Trek babble in Battlestar Galactica. From the article: "Grazier's job was to help keep the technology and science real and credible — even when there were some massive leaps. Grazier didn't just make sure that there was a reason for what we saw — bullets instead of lasers — but also that when the science bit did break into the open, it was more mind-blowing than the writers could have conceived — such as when the humans discover their mechanical Cylon persecutors have evolved to look human.'"

    Which group would that be? The Somalis? The Libertarian part? What?
    I see what you did there, you mixed your dailykos talking points w/ slashdot. There are no libertarians in Somalia worth speaking of .The big group in Somalia is the Islamic Courts Union. Do they sound like libertarians? So here's a tip, Rand Paul won, and you're going to have to get used to that fact and moveon.org with your life.
