I, for one, fail to see any inconsistency in the way the plot is going. Everything that has been done thus far is a logical extension of what came before. People had been cooped up on those ships for a long time, it was natural for them to want a place to settle down, whether or not that place was Earth. They didn't care, they just wanted solid ground beneath them, and so the writers wrote in a smallish storyline to go with the settling down and then the eventual relocation back up to the ships.

To me, it makes a lot more sense for people to want off the ships after a year or so of being stuffed in like sardines, than to be perfectly happy to stay on the ships, regardless of which choice would make more sense when it comes to the survival of humanity.

He is right about one thing for sure. It certainly is better than most shows even if its not what we expect, its a hell of a lot better than Deal No Deal. Good point. I shall shut the hell up now and enjoy it. (Until next time that is. )

Caprica is still in pre-production as far as I know, but I know they hired some experienced soap writers back in june according to some of the news sites I visit.

I full expect Caprica's big season finale to be "Who Shot Adama!"

BSG looks like it'll have a really kick-*** mid season finale from the spoilers.

This video is AWESOME !!! Could be a page right out of some Space Empires battle, especially in a game where you're using both of AT's associated shipsets !!!

Battlestar Galactica vs. Star Wars

I finally figured out what movie they used to get the human cylon concept from. Granted they had it from the BSG 1980, but they didn't have it nailed down until they ripped off Screamers.

If you haven't seen Screamers, rent it. Its not a bad movie. I liked it for many reason, one being that it seemed like only one small chapter in a much larger story.
But Screamers Ripped off Pod People

That was a very cool video. However I do think that the battlestars would have faired far better agaisnt SD than they did.
