Oh, no, I didn't mean that I thought Helo by himself was a funny character. But I find Helo's story extremely funny. I loved all the stuff on Caprica last season because it was like a SF version of After Hours.

This may be another example of the thing where I don't really need to like the characters as people.

I still don't get what's funny about Helo, though. I only stayed awake for Caprica!Boomer, and didn't see much to laugh at or with. Because I like her, I guess.

I suppose a lot of it was dramatic irony. The fact that he has no idea how screwed he is. He gave his seat up to Baltar. He gets "rescued" by Boomer. When he sees Six again and his reaction is basically, "Wow, there's a pair of twins among the human collaborators. What are the odds?" After Boomer makes a break for it with him, and he says, "I killed lots of Cylons, and they've never sent an army after me before."

I don't know, it's hard to explain why you find something funny, or don't. But all of those things made me laugh.

Eee. Space-ship size comparison chart. (Huge-o graphic.)

Drawn before *Firefly* or BSG, so no Serenity.

Dammit. I was looking for that a way back, and now I can't remember why. I'm sure it was very important.

Cool. SciFi is showing the BSG episode when the Cylons board the Galactica. I like this episode. So very intense.

I'm disappointed by the absence of the Vorlon planet killer ship from that diagram. Of course, the Shadow planet killer would have been impossible to fit...

wow, that's a cool pic

Aww, they have Space: Above and Beyond ships!!

I'm disappointed by the abscence of the Vorlon planet killer ship from that diagram.

I was thinking the very same thing.

Also, the ship from Earth 2; the Event Horizon; Space 1999; and "The Liberator" from Blakes 7
