Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
There are times in the podcast where RDM talks about how letting the viewer decide what actually happened was the wise decision and I'm all "No, no it wasn't, you just wrote yourself into a corner."

Deliberately ambiguous MY ANGELIC CYLON ASS.
I thought BSG was great, but yeah things make less sense as the series went on.
Well, omnis and I were talking about the original series from the 70s, but yeah - for all that every episode in the first season ended with "And They Have a Plan", it's obvious by the 4th that RDM didn't.
He should have known better; the arc of development he chose for ST:DS9 was not half-bad.

That being the biggest example.

Yeah, it turns out NSM.
the ships in his Culture universe are sentient and give themselves what they think are hilarious nicknames, but, being spaceships, their idea of humor differs somewhat from that of their human occupants.
What does it say about me that I find most of them hilarious, and now want to read the books so I can get to know those wacky, wacky ships?
Late for suggestions NoiseDesign but I could suggest Starbird, Blue Tick and Threshold (although that is a space station) from the book Threshold. Or Araminta Station from the book of the same name.
Or how about Straylight from Count Zero?
How about Sparky, which was Flash Gordon's spaceship in the 1930s serials.
The ship I'd pick from Heinlein would be The Rolling Stone.
Shir, I don't think the Superwoman syndrome is a sign of immaturity. At every age, people have to relearn what they *can* accomplish as opposed to what they want to accomplish. Marriage, classes, children, illness and all sorts of other life changes mean that's something everyone has to continually relearn. I am very bad at it, so, as Cindy says, if you find the answer, let us know.
Timelies! I took the day off today since I believe a birthday should not be celebrated at work if at all possible.
