Do you imagine she'd go to term? Because getting pregnant doesn't bother me -- turning every single woman into a Madonna does.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I will offer to bear Ron Moore's children if a character on BSG has an abortion.
Yes, I'm fully aware of the irony there. *g*

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'd be a bit surprised if they allowed abortions, given the state of the human race. A scene/discussion/plotline about her having more value as a pilot than the child would (by virtue of its existence) to maximizing the population survival rate.

Well, I figure if Starbuck wants an abortion, Starbuck obtains one. But unless they're okay with sending pregnant women into firefights, they're losing their best fighter pilot for months.

Right. But I would want them to address that she's getting an exception, rather than it being a readily available procedure.

Ah, I see.
Are they ready, resource-wise, to start repopulating? That might be another issue, while they're still in flight.

You could definately make that argument (in a large-scale sense), which is why any sort of pro-procreation program would be rather dumb, but I would be worried about an age range of maybe even 10 years in which there are almost no people, and you may not be replacing the people dying off.

Heh. Maybe the President is pregnant. That Baltar, he gets around!
Maybe both Boomers are pregnant?

Having both Boomers pregnant would be amusing. (And kind of make sense, in a let's assume that the Boomer model of Cylon was created for that purpose.)

That would be rather cool, sumi.
