You don't like the new BSG, we get that. The old BSG would have been great(er) if the networks hadn't meddled, we get that too. But you called my friend a jackass for no good reason, 'cept perhaps she poked fun at you.

I was willing to read to your arguments, even though I disagree with most of them. The way you polarize the issue - something is either the greatest ever, or the absolute worst - is a great attitude for blind polemics, not so much for a discussion among friends.

Let's just watch the namecalling, eh? No, I'm no-one important. No penalty for telling me to go to hell. I'm just a Browncoat, asking for a little civility.

Unfortunately, Scar won't be back. Remember, they destroyed the Ressurection Ship? It was one of the few (very few) standout episodes of Season 2.5, though. Since it's restarted for season 2.5, I've enjoyed Ressurection Ship (both parts), Scar, and now Downloaded - everything else in there was pretty lousy.

Hmm let's see. Knibblet calls me ignorant and bigoted. Doesn't add any substance to the debate. Just calls me names. So I called her a jackass. Why? Because she's a jackass.

Enter stage left:

You come charging to the rescue (you're so very heroic). There's always your type out there... cloaked in false group-hug humanitarianism ~ can't debate the facts before you gotta step in and announce "let the healing begin." Oh... let's not forget you get your digs in, insult me, and try to couch it in a fakey-ass heartwarming aura of wholesome goodness. I love the subtle insinuation that somehow I've already stated the facts of my case (which I hadn't). Perhaps your debating tact seems smart to you, but I can see you've been mercifully spared the ravages of intelligence. You're an idiot.

I know your type.. you can be found in Starbucks buying $5 cups of coffee (double-tall cafe latte decaf with soymilk), you hang out with alienated nihilists and existentialists (wannabes that run in packs), you have pseudo-intellectual discussions where everyone is categorized as "obtuse" or "bourgeoisie" or "blind polemics".

I have a picture of you in my mind... ponytail, wire-rim glasses, turtleneck, black beret and goatee, probably playing the bongos.

I've watched the show a couple of times and I love it, but... I can't get past the "Fracking" instead of "F***ing" language. Farscape had Frell and Firefly has Gorramn. They fit well, but "Frack" makes my cringe when I hear it.

What the last episode? The one whne Boomer is reborn and the resistance blows up the cafe? Anyway... Boomer yells something like "Why?! Because I'm a Fracking Cyclon!!" It made me cringe and ruined the whole scene for me.

Just my opinion.

I thought I was having a private pissing war with Frau KNIBBLET and her heathen horde of band-wagon minions.

Apparently not.

River90210:

"Frack" was the major curseword from the original BSG.

Don't ever forget that. This ain't some invention of the almighty Moore-whore. He lifted it from the original show.

Totally overwhelmed with information overload. And oh ya...

Why are we having the conversation?

I don't like liver.
I don't like head cheese.
I have NEVER had a argument about how liver could be better if only nature hadn't interfered and made it ucky. And I've never followed up with how head cheese is just a sad version of ucky liver.

I'm thinking Xero needs a hobby. A hobby outside of wasting bandwidth comparing two things he doesn't like that is.

That's absurd you buncha fools. That's insanely stupid and false. Sci-fi is not about proving how this or that point of view in modern-day politics will be demonstrated correct in the future.

Fuckit. If that's the case then I'm gladly, happily, and proudly "ANTI-socially-conscious". I'd prefer Mal kicking Viking-dude into the engines 8 out of 7 days a week (OMG the violence must stop. lets hold hands and say a prayer for world peace) versus the girly menfolk of new BSG. Mal the man-warrior, I would die for... the "warriors" of new-BSG I would die laughing at.

Oh, Boxy is on the show. He was there in a couple of scenes in the miniseries, and also in one scene during Season 1. He's a depressed, bitter, and surly kid who lost both his parents in the Cylon attack on Caprica.

Kaylee: Don't you think you should rephrase that?
Cisall: You're right, I should, I didn't mean to say Serenity should be hauling garbage, I meant to say it should be hauled away as garbage!
Cisall: *evil laugh*

*cue barfight scene as Kaylee punches Cisall out*

Brilliant, we could throw in these furry little balls of...fur, and something about aliens trying to take over some planet named after Sherman by poisoning wheat!

Man, how do I come up with this stuff?

Maybe the Firefly class are for garbage haulin'. That explains the duel main doors on the "cargo" deck, with the outer pair having those big hydraulic rams. It explains the cargo being on the bottom of the ship, just perfect for skimming junk off of a landfill. The catwalks over the "cargo" deck, because you wouldn't want to walk through that stuff.
