Gorgon

Well, she is back and confirmed for season 4, how ?, does it matter, Arthur Conan Doyle killed off both Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriaty and they were none worse for the wear in the next installment. This should teach us that nothing is permanent if the character is too popular, see Superman.

uh, as far as i understand it, the EU itself cannot go to war anyway as it is primarily an economic agreement, right? is the EU leadership elected by the people, or appointed by the states? there was supposed to be a common EU defence policy and an EU rapid reaction force, but it hasen't happened yet. It was mostly a German and French wet dream, the rest aren't that interested. The EU comission is is selected by governments, only the EU parliament is elected by the people. The comission has more hands on power in the day to day leadership of the EU. So, it's hardly a democracy. The parliament though can fire the comission through a vote of no confidence, and has done so in the past during the corruption scandals.

My money is on Lt. Gaeta.

Nothing drastic is gonna happen, Blair can't start a war just before he's out the door,

Yoy guys even have your own sattelite to keep an eye on the malcontents, or more to the point, the lunatic prince had too much money and had to spend it on something.

My only gripe is that they used a sissy version of All along the watchtower instead of Hendrix's.

Well, how long exactly would it take for radio waves to travel several galaxies ? I think earth is a little further gone than the 60s.

Entirely uneventful, except for my neigthbours dropping by and asking me if I wanted to swap appartments with them. Which I might do.

The Itunes purchases are more value per viewer than TV add $. Battlestar has developed a following of people for whom this is an easier way of following the show than TV, this is not refelected in the ratings. Sci Fi is obviously quite interested in learnig how to turn this into real revenue growth. If they could just make sure that the show airs simultaneously on Itunes and TV they could cut down on the freebe downloaders as well. As for the show itself, it suffers from the same syndrome that all shows do after several seasons, the plot has become a ball-and-chain, and new viewers don't know whats going on. The main plot is also tied into the length of the show itself, I mean, whats left to do after they find earth and defeat the cylons. No wonder they are stalling.

What are you talking about ? Helo and Sharon did have a daugther, so edvidently they could reproduce

Coffe, cigarettes & hash Blade Runner Homeworld Amiga 1200 Lord of the Rings BDP Battlestar Galactica

Someone posted it at the Battlestar forums. I assume its genuine A few things though, the show apparently shanged time slot and more people are using Itunes to download episodes, so it might not be as disasterous as it looks at first glance.

I can't pick just one, and it seems like a lot of work rigth now anyway.

Might just be that the exects gave them 13 episodes as a kick in the backside, improve ratings or get cut off kinda deal.

Whats a Deus EX Machina in plot terms ?

Lee Adama is kinda flat and uninteresting, unfortunately I think were stuck with him for the duration. It's an eternal cycle of rebel against father, return to subservient role.

Who says earth isen't inhabitied already, or that they will even be happy to see their long lost kindred. Imagine them landing in the middle of a tense political situation and having to pick sides in a civil war. As for the religous themes, they're just stupid. I mean we have no clues what the values of their gods are at all, they mean nothing to us. If they are the ancient greek pantheon they aren't exactly a moral anchoring, what with human sacrifice etc. The tomb raider style ancient collapsing temples shtick is even worse. The only thing that holds promise in the main plotline is the 'buddhist' everything moves in circles theme.

whenever I start Icewind dale with the intention of finishing it I just can't get over how ugly every single interface in the game is. At least they fixed that in IWD2, which had a poorer story though.

I much prefer the double headers at the beginning and end of the series, the one offs are too short and usually can't get anywhere worthwhile in the time they have.

It's gotta end sometime. Better to end before it got stale. I can think of a few shows that went on and on long after they should have been put out to pasture. A certain Macgyver and a chunky headed egyptian fellow springs to mind. If shows don't end they turn into Lost with no one having a clue what they are about anymore.

There may be a point in there, but the source is so obviously slanted that it loses credibility. I mean, honestly I wonder what a site called http.://electronicintifada.net/ would think about Isreal.

I can see loads of red 'X'es

It's funny anyone would chose to put Farrakhan on the left of anything in any comparision. He is a reactionary racist ****. The fact that he happens to be black hardly compensates.
