- The new Battlestar Galactica is a long, high quality drama exploring themes of interest to both the general public and to science fiction fans. It combines soap opera style storylines with spaceships shooting at each other, while contemplating the meaning of being human, and the nature of god. No, seriously.
- Building artificially intelligent robots is a bad idea, especially if you treat them like slaves. They will inevitably rise up and try to destroy you.
- God is not keen on the whole destruction thing.
- Or maybe God is okay with the creation, destruction re-creation cycle. I'm not sure. The theology was left a bit fuzzy.
- Which is the way I like it.
- Frak is used as an exact synonym for a common but vulgar English obscenity, but for some reason is more acceptable on TV.
- You should never get drunk and nearly be seduced by your brother's girlfriend.
- It all happened a long time ago[1] in a galaxy far far away[2].
- On third thoughts, God isn't into the creation/destruction cycle, but only does the bare minimum to hint what need to do to stop it, as it's our decision at the end of the day.
- The bare minimum including prophetic visions and dreams, bringing people back from the dead and encoding clues in a child's DNA.
- Bob Dylan is God.
I know for sure that Heckler learnt at least one more thing, but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for him to reveal it here.
