BSG may have done that for the tech, but they certainly didn't do that for the plot. They pulled stuff out nowhere all the time, plot-wise. /I hate seeing people putting Firefly and BSG on the same side in a comparison.

Touche, sir.

Who marked this as "Funny"? This is +5 "Informative". He's being serious here, folks.

I thought the first episode was like BSG crossed with Voyager. Dr. Rush appears to have too many similarities to Baltar for my comfort. I, for one, thought the premise was a little weak. Didn't grab me, nor did any of the characters seem that interesting. I was completely bored with the Senator's sacrifice moment, too. I'll watch a couple more episodes to see if it comes together.

The folks at Computerhope.com are a great resource for helping users fix their computers after something like this happens. They usually have the users asking for help run through a battery of programs, such as Avast!, SuperAntispyware, Malwarebytes, HijackThis, etc in order to catch most things.

Very helpful site for those pesky "antivirus" viruses.

Huh. I've been living in various places in the Seattle area for nearly 20 years, and I have never heard anyone do that.

They might say, "Seattle", "U-district", "Bellevue", "Northgate", "Greenlake"....

With so many smaller neighborhood names...what would be "the city" people are referring to?

San Diego and Seattle don't.

I've lived in the San Diego area, and I live in the Seattle area now. Got news for ya: NO ONE says "I'm going into the city today". They say "downtown", or the neighborhood/district they are going to.

SF is unusual in that aspect. Even Eddie Izzard commented on it.

Oh, well then I suppose I can accept plausible.

I'm with you on that drinking thing. :)

And I'd almost be okay with that, except they aren't introducing this person/force/group till the very last of the series? That is horrible internal consistency. There has been no evidence that would lead us to believe other races exist in the galaxy. To suddenly go, "Oh, by the way, here's another alien civilization that's just been screwing with you."...yikes.

I wouldn't put it past them, to be honest. But...ugh.

Seriously? That would be an acceptable story solution? Generations of 13th colony cylons were just waiting for an opportunity to get revenge on the human colonists for 2000 years, and decided to strike with a virus in the toasters. Then they decided to reveal themselves by nuking all the colonies 40 years later.

I guess some of us are hoping for different things. But yes, it's been pretty obvious they've been doing things for the sole reason of them "being cool" for far too long, and their crazy quilt is unraveling. I don't expect some of my questions to be answered either. Because I don't think the "writers" are able to.

The problems I have are primarily:

--That the 5 have been living amongst the humans for some time now, will Colonel Tigh being around for quit a long time. How did they get there? How did they get by in the colonial "system", as it were? Why did they suddenly get activated? Surely someone in the cyclons know.

--On the point of the 5, somehow the cylons don't even know who they are for most of the series, don't even know the final 5 are in the fleet, but somehow through all the nuking the cylons did, all the shooting and destruction--somehow, the 5 are still alive? Riiiight.

--That the humans created the Cylons as machines, had a big fight with them, the Cylons left for 40 years (?), came back with human looking versions, of which there are supposedly 12 models (only 7 are duplicated?). But now, the 13th colony ---2,000 years ago---was actually all human-looking cylons. Wait, what? That doesn't provide an explanation of how they could be living with humans at all.

These are a few of the problems I have with their plausibility. It just doesn't make any sense.

How do the final five make sense? They don't make sense at all. Not one frakin' bit.

This. Seriously. This kinda of writing just irks me. Lost did the same thing. The only reason I'm even watching BSG anymore is to see what kind of magic paintbrush they are going to use to try and have all their BS make sense.

You seem to think that there are some rich 9-5ers that will be affected by this. That these people will find it harder to make a life for themselves. The tax Obama is backing is for the top 2% of incomes: From people like CEOs of major company's, Senators and congressmen (including Obama!), and celebrities of various forms (TV, movies, writers, etc). The creme de la creme. Not everyone else you've met in your life (likely, at any rate).

This isn't a communist agenda. This is an attempt to slow down the widening of the gap between the Haves and the Have-nots (or, if you prefer, the Uber-rich, and the middle class).
