Pretty issue charged episode tonight. Racism, A hint of big pharm maybe? Couple pokes at the war on terror. Good stuff as always.

1. COOL

Plus #6 was just in Playboy.

[shadowknows69]

2. I'd do a toaster

If I weren't married to a beautiful human woman of course. Kind of partial to Sharon/Boomer. Xena was looking nice until they mothballed her line. Playboy would do well to do a spread on the entire cast actually. Never did interstellar war look so....fit. I know sci fi geek stuff goes in the lounge but its actually a very topical show.

[Big Pappa]

7. All

except Starbuck I think they purposely make her look mannish

[shadowknows69]

9. Oh, that is a dangerous woman I think

10 years ago I'd have risked it. She'd kill me now.

[Big Pappa]

10. She

could at the least out drink both of us.

[Big Pappa]

11. #6

is refered to as a "skinjob".

[shadowknows69]

15. Cylons as a whole are referred to as toasters

Not just the warrior centurions. GEEK-MATE!B-)

[Big Pappa]

16. Oh hell

it looks like I am dealing with a true fan. I thought that the human looking Cylons were refered to as skinjobs. Some hot looking toasters none the less.:yourock:

[shadowknows69]

17. Skinjobs is correct

but I think the generic term was there from season one.

[NewJeffCT]

20. I found it interesting - the female cylons are attractive, the males are not

that the female cylons are all hot - Sharon/Boomer, #6 and Lucy Lawless.

The male cylons - Dean Stockwell, Leobahn, etc. - are all rather unattractive.

Almost like they made a conscious effort to make it that way.

21. Not Such a Surprise

Mostly guys watch the show.

There was racism and genocide, but that seemed about it to me. They have had more charged shows.

[NewJeffCT]

22. However

On the "human" side, you do have good looking men like Apollo.

And, sci-fi channel movies have their share of attractive leading men - Dean Cain, Richard Grieco, the blonde guy from Baywatch...

So, it's something with the cylons.

23. You must have missed the episode when a cylon doctor took care of

Starbuck - prime eye candy.

[NewJeffCT]

24. I saw the episode

I thought he was a bit geeky-looking. But, I rarely have any clue about what women see in a guy, anyhow.

[sarge43]

25. I thought he looked exactly right for a thoughtful intelligent

professional.

3. Dammit - what station is that damned show on? Never can find it.

[shadowknows69]

4. sci fi channel. Just moved to sundays at 10pm EST

probably not too many shows to go in the new season but its worth watching
Start with the DVDs of Season I if you haven't already or you'll be lost. Hard to jump in on although they do a little "previously on...." every show.

[BlooInBloo]

8. Thanks!

[hughee99]

5. SciFi network

Sunday's at 10pm (repeated at midnight and Monday night at 11pm).

Great show.

[shadowknows69]

6. I like grew up on the original too

and I thought I'd hate this "reimagining" but it really is brilliant.

[hughee99]

18. I thought so too

but after seeing the first few episodes I was hooked.

[BlooInBloo]

12. Wow - that's what all the hubbub's about? Frac that.

frac! Frac! frac!

god if i hear that again...

[Big Pappa]

13. You

need to see the first fracking season before you start to frack the whole frackin show.:bounce:

[BlooInBloo]

14. We'll frackin see.

[Dracos]

19. This is my favorite programs on tv

I can't think of anything else on tv like it,plus it has a real message.

[TommyO]

26. I agree - real stories, just enough soap opera

and the pseudo-science isn't the central point of the show (it's there, but used judiciously).

[Phoonzang]

27. Pseudo-science?

What do you mean? The stuff that makes science-fiction fun?

[TommyO]

28. That's exactly what I mean.

One of the best uses of the FTL drive was the atmospheric jump in the fourth episode of this season. Jump into the atmosphere of New Caprica, plummet like a burning meteorite while providing cover for the escape, and then jump out before hitting the surface.
