Beats, Bears and Battlestar Galactica















Just a quick review on Battlestar Galactica, I've been watching it recently more out of a curious investigation. Every time I saw BSG on TV it was always incredible boring, and I would ask myself; how can a show about space ship sorties against evil robots be this boring!. So I've watched and discovered something amazing, BGS does intact have a complex and winding plot, full of twists and turns. The only problem is that its the same fucking twist over and over again, you see it turns out they're actually a Cylon, "They" being anyone in question at that moment. Im pretty sure at this stage there's more Cylon's than humans in the fleet, hell! I would be happy if they threw in the classic "She's been dead for 5 years!" just to switch it up a notch. I am really at the stage now where I say to myself while watching "Holy shit! Could it be, there's just no way that... they're not a Cylon. That would be far to unexpected." only to be disappointed in the last 5 minutes of episode with the big reveal that in fact they are a Cylon. What the fuck are they even doing in the fleet? Maybe it's because they're trying to blend in with man kind so perfectly that they think to themselves "Well if I were a real human I wouldn't plot the destruction of the last humans, so for my covers sake I better just flip these pan cakes."

So for the sake of the future I have designed the perfect Cylon test: Does the thing your testing have a face? If yes its a Cylon so shoot. If no then its a Cylon but someone already shoot its face off.
