Some thoughts/bitchings/ramblings on the current state of BSG

First of all, I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but this should totally be the Cylons theme song:



Ok, on a serious note, the whole "frak" thing is getting redundant to the point of idiocy. Like I've said since the beginning of the new series, since the didn't bother to retain any of the other lingo from the old series, it's like they are pre-pubescent Ross and Monica going "Tee-Hee, we're saying a dirty word that mommy and daddy don't get mad at us about". It's the same reason I don't watch Sopranos or Deadwood. It's not that I'm a prude and I think that it should be profanity (real or made up space cussing) free, but the whole point of profanity is to convey heightened emotion. So when they use it 20+ plus times an episode it just becomes an annoyance, and IMO a laziness in the writing. It's no different than saying "blueberry" 10x in every scene. And If I wanted that much cursing, I'd buy a parrot with Tourettes.


Also, I'm getting a bit fed-up with every promo for the following weeks show saying "NEXT WEEK.....ALL....WILL......BE.....REVEALED!". Because they have been running those every episode this season, and very little has actually "been revealed".

Ok, last bit of complaining. I think it's weird that the Cylons call the other Cylons the "final 5". I mean, they're really only the "final 5" to be revealed to the audience. So shouln't they simply be the "other 5"? Or how about just "the others"? No, wait that's already taken.


Anyway on a lighter note, I just saw this, and thought it was pretty funny, and kind of prophetic:




Speculative Spoiler: If things continue the way they are going, it'll be back to the humans vs. the toasters, like the good ol' days. Or more likely the humans and the skinjobs vs. the toasters.


Lastly, I seriously hope Lucifer makes an appearance.
