Ok so we call it something else.

I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with which word you use to describe the phenomena.

I still don't see why your trying to compare it to star trek.

Because these sorts of phenomena are everywhere in Star Trek.

...they pretty much covered the God damned spectrum of names for time distortions and such.

That is what I have the problem with. The whole 'Gee whiz, things didn't work out for us this time, but golly, look there's a swirly thing out in space. Let's all go through it and try again.' And if they only did it once or twice, I wouldn't have really minded but they did it all the time, so much so that to me, such contrivances as little swirly spots that pop up out of nowhere and let you go back to the exact moment required to change an unfavourable outcome have become indelibly linked to Star Trek.

And for the record, what BSG is doing isn't really all that new.

Never said it was.

And BSG's producer is an ex-star trek writer/producer.

Good to see someone learned something from Trek.
