1. Never go anywhere without a lifetime supply of cigarettes. Cause everyone in the future smokes… even though it is unhealthy and on the decline now. They never seem to run out!

2. We can enhance photos to see if a nonreflection is a real reflection yet we have dot matrix printers and analog clocks and corded telephones…. You get the picture

3. When you are crazy, ask crazier… no one will mind or think twice.

4. Six is the sexbot. She’s made it her personal goal to seduce every man… Then again, so is Boomer…. Soooooo…. female cylons are sexbots. Pray you get trapped with a female cylong. You’ll die “happy”.

5. 24 days after massive nuclear attack on your planet, there is no nuclear winter. Wow, future nukes are awesome!!

6. Even though the Cylons have put a spy with you to run through the radiated wasteland of a nuked planet, they send other cylons to chase you and terrorize you. Cause that makes sense.

7. Coed bathrooms are great! Let’s all be like Ally McBeal! Too bad there are no short skirts!

8. When your exgirlfriend practically makes love with the enemy ship, pay no heed. Or contemplate making out with her again since that’s better than reporting her.

9. The cylons have nukes to hide around, yet the humans have limited nukes. And the cylons are able to hide the nukes from the humans on their own ships. Cause nukes are easy to hide.

10. When we are vastly outnumbered, we’re going to still try to snag some fuel from the enemy.

11. Spend the better part of a month holed up in a laboratory. Build a cylon detector. Then tell everyone they are human. Don’t even tell your imaginary cylon girlfriend who is a cylon or not.

12. Blame everyone and anyone of being a cylon. After all we have a nifty cool cylon detector! Too bad the results are tainted.

13. Build a cylon detector. The first person who is tested doesn’t take very long, however everyone after that takes a day to get results.

14. Apparently knee injuries heal amazingly fast. But then instead of letting a pilot blow out her knee flying, try to blow it out on the weight benches. Boy Buck-ette, aren’t you glad that was only half the g’s?

15. You are going into a battle. You don’t have your pilots sitting in thier planes ready to go. You let them wander around so you must call them to get into their planes. Let’s waste valuable precious time.

16. After blowing up the cylon base, everyone throw a party like it is 1999. Don’t worry about the inbound fighters a minute away from you that want to blow up your ship. Don’t worry about them backing off your posistion till later. Throw the party first.

17. Former terrorists regain all their rights, including the right to run for public office, once they’ve served their time. That sounds good…

18. Politics is the only thing more boring than blood samples. OK, I actually thought this was funny. 🙂 What a great quote!

19. Gimp Buck-Ette will always save the day. Even if it means hobbling after someone who has a gun because no one paid attention to her shout that someone has a gun.

20. Ask the crazy scientist guy to run for your VP. Even though he’s bumbling and talks to himself and is downright… well… crazy.

21. Ask someone to be your VP in the loo. Cause that’s secure. And as we all know, Politics is nothing but a giant pissing match anyway. So you’re in the right place.

22. After being asked to be VP, go boink the reporter you had hiding in the loo with you. Reporters are trustworthy.

23. Ask a pilot who has attempted suicide to fly a mission into Cylon territory. Ooops, she’s a Cylon sleeper agent!

Am I alone in worrying about what kind of religious statement this show is making? The thing that gets me most is not only are they making this statement, but the guy who originally created this show was a very good, Christian man. What on earth must he be thinking? This is definately “Roll in the grave at the attrocity” type things.

Apparently the humans are multitheistic while the cyborgs are monotheistic. The cyborgs talk about the love of God and how he’s there for all. The humans are idolatrous and are contantly saying “By the gods!” and other “name in vain”-ish type things. They drink, they smoke, they gamble, they sleep around.

It seems the show is setting up a “rise of Christianity” sort of thing. The cyborgs are the Christians and they are trying to wipe out “paganism”. The early church was pretty brutal.

However, they also point out time and time again that the Cyborgs will “confuse you” by not out and out lying, They sprinkle the truth. The use snippets of the truth to deceive you. Just enough truth that it “seems right”. Well who does that sound like? Not to sound like the “Churchlady” or anything but… “Could it be…. Satan?!”

So wait, are they good (believing in God the father) or are they evil (using Satan’s plan)? What the heck?

This is very disturbing to me. Very disturbing. And I do not like it. At all. Especially since the original series was NOT like this. It was very obvious that the humans were from the tribes of Israel. Earth was the lost tribe. And the cylons… well it was fairly obvious given the cloven hooved “boss” and the lackey named Lucifer…

BTW, I’ve now watched all of Season 1. I just can’t believe this show got renewed. It has potential, but they need to fix all these problems in the writing.
