Battlestar Galactica **Spoilers** discussion

I really liked the abbreviated mini-series. The idea has been done before, though - ala Bladerunner... which, incidentally, was based on the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip K. Dick, published in 1968, so I think it beats out BSG as far as the timeline of Ideas go. (Sorry CNCRaymond. )

I was speaking in terms of Movies and television, but you are correct, the book did come first. However though, Bladrunner was loosely, very loosely based upon that book. I think most ideas are spawned from books, comics, old myth lore and so on. Never under estimate the power of a book.

Geoschmo I am so sorry to have been a source of frustration to you. If I had known, I would have posted the quotes sooner. My apologies.

"He is fraking lieing!"
"By the Lords of Cobalt this not happening to me."

Oh by the way, I think Frelling is a much better curse word than Fraking. And I to hope that Farscape is picked up and continued soon. Even if Sci-Fi decides to produce a series based on this new BSG, there track record with support is very weak. I hear they are now talking about dropping Stargate SG-1.
