Yeah I know. I mainly lurk. Between school and work, I barely get a chance to even watch shows. I watched BSG this Friday and it was excellent! I love the mention about how the situation wasn't going to become a utopian fantasy. I suppose it was an innocent dig at Trek. :) Cat On 1/29/06,

Keith, from the minute I saw Duke's char, I knew we'd be hearing from you. You're entirely right, of course, top to bottom, and it's ashame that no one in power is listening. I've been watching every week, and Dee's sudden relationship with Apollo is new to me. Exactly where did it come from?

Welcome back, Cat! Missed ya! Since you've brought up the issue of President Roslin's illness, let's take a thought-stab at the consequences of her miracle recovery thanks to Boomer's baby. More than a possible easing of her views toward her toaster friends, I wouldn't be surprised if she

Martin--Three things. First, about Dee/Apollo; then, my thoughts on this topic again; and finally, some thoughts from Moore himself on the show. About Apollo/Dee. The relationship has been alluded to a few times in the past. In one of their early self-defense sessions, she fell on top of Lee,

Listen to the BSG podcast, where Moore addresses this. He says, enigmatically, There's no guarantee Roslin's cancer is gone *forever*. He talked about it in terms of the Prophecy saying a dying leader would lead them to Earth, and, if Roslin is no longer dying, is she really the ultimate leader?

I'm not usually in favour of what are often frivolous or overreactive lawsuits, especially in matters of morality or concepts of decency, but this one I understand. No way Take-Two and Rockstar can say this was an accident, or that they didn't know the sex scene was in the game. No way they can
