****. I just looked at my join date and realized that Ive been waiting over three years for Obsidian to make a Fallout/Torment style RPG with none in sight. The situation is truly hopeless.....

You have a truly amazing amount of stamina. What exactly do you mean by this?

Awesome Episode!!!!! The only one that I have REALLY enjoyed this season. The last few minutes were pretty trippy.

So if Germany didnt attack other countries, then the holocaust would have been none of any other countries business?

Instead of making deep pc rpgs like bg2, torment and fallout, Obsidian has instead decided to go the console route. Even NWN2 played more like a console game than any of the aforementioned deep pc rpgs. While I am not disappointed because Obsidian is making console games, Obsidian doesnt seem to have any plans to make any deep rpgs in the future. Are you disappointed by this?

22X? Are you kidding? Or do you mean a rating of 2.2?

Ratings spike?

This episode sucked the big one. I didnt like the dialogue and how the conversations played out. For example, Kate came out so bloody stupid. Instead of asking Jack who the hell the others were and what they were up to, she kept asking "what have they done to you". LOL it was so obvious given Jacks condition that they had done nothing to him. Instead of answers and exposition all we got was utterly retarded cheesy melodrama because the shows creators obviously didnt want to give things away at this point. The magic box thing is just dumb.

If those countries can't act in a civilized manner that is their problem, not ours. We have given Iraq 4 years, and at least another year to boot to get their act together. If they fail then so be it. We have given them enough aid. The rest is up to them. As for Afganistan we got rid of the Taliban for them. Now the rest is up to them. If they can't get their crap together then they deserve to be oppressed or worse. The United States is not a nanny service. I think America has a moral responsibility in Iraq and Afghanistan. Besides, it seems to me that on the whole, the non fanatical Iraqis and Afghans are happy with the Americans.

Thinking of that brings back memories of intense frustration... This board doesnt even have a decent angry smiley.

One thing I dont get is why the media keeps calling Sunnis and Shias "ethnic groups". They arent ethnic groups at all. Theyre religious sects, and the difference between them is similar to that between the Catholics and Protestants. The Sunni-Shia divide exists over pretty much the entire Muslim world, including even countries like India. Sunnis and Shias have got big problems with the other groups interpretation of Islam. Whats going on in Iraq isnt ethnic fighting at all(Except for the Arab-Kurd thing, which is a different issue), its religious strife.

If a democrat gets elected, America might pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan, leaving those nations in total chaos. Both of them are going to end up being centers of ethnic and religious genocide. I hope America remains republican.

So is Octavian...

Icewind Dale 2 was a screwed up game. First of all, the world seemed to be very disjointed, the story didnt flow. My next problem with the game was the crap rewards for combat. Not only would you not get any XP at all, but there also werent any decent items to be found. Icewind Dale 1 hit rewards spot on. When you finished Kresselacks tomb, for example, you got his powerful amulet that made you kick so much more ass in combat. There was always cool and unique stuff to find. In Icewind Dale 2, I kept finding the same goddamned magic sling again and again.

Praise the Lord!

Well, that blog is about Season 2 of BSG when the ratings decreased to 1.8 Since then, the ratings have gone down to 1.1 Also one of the comments mentions a show called Farscape which got cancelled when it dropped to 1.5

Damn that is a SERIOUS drop in ratings! Where did you get those from? Season 2 had a slight downward trend, although it looks like it was 4 points less than the first season on average. But Season 3 has been a freefall!

I wouldnt be surprised if their ratings plummeted with what they were putting out. Does anyone have more info on this? All I know is that the shift to Sunday may have been due to bad ratings. Execs normally ruin things but they may have saved the show in this case. Perhaps all the filler was due to the execs?

One thing that disappoints me about BSG is the whole god versus gods thing. It would have been better if they opposed monotheism of the humans with either pantheism or monism of the cylons. Specially because the Hindu Gayatri Mantra is used as the series theme song.

Im pretty sure I read somewhere that the fourth season is the last one...

Another inconsistency in the whole cylon thing is how the Boomer on Caprica had all the memories of the one in Galactica. Maybe she sent her memories and they were downloaded into the Caprica Boomer?

Then the original Tigh must have been replaced with someone else...

Exactly... This season was mostly crap, so was a good chunk of the last one. The next and last season will be only half the lenght of a normal one. This means that we waded through a season and a half of crap waiting for a half season of good stuff(hopefully).

The next one has been revealed in the preview for next week..... Are you sure you want to know who it is? Its sad that BSG seems to be coming to an end just as it is starting to get good again.

Im talking about when she appears in the fleet and tells Adama about Baltar. If its only in Baltars head, then how did Adama, Roslin and the others see her and talk to her as well?
