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.'"

Besides there's the definitive argument for living ships. How can you have space whales, if you don't have living ships? Space harpooning inert space debris just doesn't work for me. And space environmentalists need something to angst (or is that "space angst") about other than oppressed giant blue smurfs on planets.
