Political Correctness is really Political Censorship

A tax code should exist to procure the funds necessary for the operation of government, not to manipulate human or business behavior.

Also, if you go to www.scifi.com  - They are now putting up 'webisodes', short five minute episodes about what's happened in between season 2 and 3.  :)  First one's up today, second one is up on Thursday...basically two every week between now and the start of the show.

Neraly forgot about the webisodes....

I wonder if the people in it, aside from the regulars, will be making regular appearances on the show...

I think he's even more annoying in real life than he is in character.

OK, just saw the first webisode. Who else thinks Jammer is a Cylon?

Possible. But, I think that it's a little too obvious. He might be the collaborator type.

Every damn time I see one of those webisodes or one of the commercials, I start going crazy waiting for October 6th...


*sigh*

The second episode's discussion on storing arms inside their temple was a very 'real world' issue.  It's interesting to see another sci-fi show willing to take on 'real-world' issues like the original star trek once did.  It's a big risk...some might mention how the inter-racial kiss between Uhura and Kirk, so innocuous in modern times, really was a big deal back then...and probably cost the show a few fans.  I for one was extremely uncomfortable during that webisode, because they knew what they were doing (stashing the weapons in the temple) was wrong, but they were doing it anyway because it was what was needed in order for them to survive.

Um... I read on the BSG boards that Ron Moore said something about whole resistance thing being a direct relations to the French Resistance in WWII.
