Actually to me it's starting to feel more like the Traveller universe. (RPG Sci-Fi game by GDW)  




I didn't think anyone else even remembered Traveller.  Used to have the COMPLETE set including the Striker miniature rules set.  Then my wonderful Aunt threw them all out.  Half the book were in mint condition too.  I even had the Azanti (SP) Lightening module.

BTW if anybody saw a sex scene I'd like to know when. Unless Blondie was wearing crotchless undies I don't see how it could have happened.  





Ah...you have much to learn, Grasshopper.

Your powers of perception fail you, young Grasshopper.



...and there need not be a hole, though one were certainly simplify things a tad.

Erm...not talking about that array of holes.  We're talking about clothing here, Kroma.  Get with the program...

Hole nothing! At my age if I saw that staring at me from across the room I'd be "done and snoring" before she even made to the bed!

I still have all the original Traveller and MegaTraveller books, all the alien modules, the Striker combat rules and even a few rare or rarely see rules (Snapshot, Azanti High Lighting module, lots of JTAS and other assorted stuff). I ran a campaign for 7 years that had between 6 and 24 players durring HS and college (must be why it seemed to take a lot longer in college to get anything done) that ended just around the time that they came out with the poorly thought out "dark future" plot line.

Having said all that BSG made me think (and I've posted this elsewhere) more of the OSS vs propritary software arguement ... at least in the first episode. I'm hoping that maybe they will flesh this out more in future episodes (if any). As for the Starsiege angle I wouldn't know, closest I got to that game was Tribes and Tribes2 (both great games btw ... IMHO) and they didn't expound on the back story as much. Of course you could also look at Dune as a similar story line. The Balshad (sp?) Jihad was all about overthrowing the machines that had gotten out of control.

Over all I've enjoyed what I've seen ... this is not the BSG I remember but as a new, "updated", "retelling" of it it's not too bad. Some parts are annoying (sex change of Starbuck) but none detrack from the over all story that greatly. The special effects and cinamgraphic style used for the space combats more than make up for that. All in all a good ride.

Well, If anyone was watching, when blondie and balter were making out I believe the underwear was the second thing to go, so the issue about how to get around the underwear was a mute subject.  Otherwise other than trying to hard to make them more earthlike in language and clothing I felt the story was well told.

Hmmm, I'd have thought someone who calls himself "starwolf" would have a sense of humor. Okey-dokey.    




Not when it comes to the death of babies.  TV or not.  Especially senseless death.  The statement you made kinda flashed me back to the stories you hear about mothers leaving their newborns in toilets and dumpsters.  That kind of pure selfishness is wrong on so many levels......    




For the Love God man... It was two seperate observations of the show....

1) He believed that 6 did a mercy killing of the child considering the child was about to get Nuked...

2) He belived the child was ugly....

In this case 1 + 2 do NOT = 3) The interpetation that he agree that the baby SHOULD BE killed...

And as the proud father of 5 (1 Girl and 4 Boys .. ages 18 to 4) I understood what he meant and I didn't take offence to it.

Nuff Said.....

Rocko

Now I pay great homage to the great Taldren Gods so that I may not be smited down with thier god like powers!

Edit - OH I almost forgot... since when are observations a violation of the TOS? (btw I read the TOS link you gave) I am not trying to flame or cause hate and discontent.. just pointing some things out.. (goes back to his bowing)

What.... all 2 of them..... I heard there was supposed to be 6 parts.. hence the name Mini-Series... they should have just called a Two-Part Movie... I think that is what it is actually.
