Can't we just render them into wax for candles, or something? The people that are fun to kill ... I don't know if they'd make fun eating.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

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

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
apparently the TNG outfits got "loosened" after about a season because the men were all paranoid about how they looked in tight pants.
They also switched from jumpsuits to those two piece outfits that gave Picard and Riker constant opportunities to adjust their jackets.

So, no clones of Pres. Roslin?
The whole Nietzschean breeding program never made sense to me: you don't breed to go backwards to perfection -- that's just stupid. At least when breeding say dogs or horses. You try to move the pedigree forward not backwards.
Obviously, if Drago Musseveney or whatever, was so perfect -- he should have been happy with what he had -- and used the cloning process. Since he didn't do that, but incorporated all sorts of weird genetic engineering stuff -- he obviously didn't believe that he was perfect either and the whole Nietzschean breeding program with their goal of getting this guy back is mostly a weirdo religion.

Were (and I haven't seen this week's ep yet, so I'm going on half-remembred stuff) the Nietzcheans breeding towards Drago? I know it was a huge deal if he was to come back, but it seemed like they were meeting and breeding for strength, alliance, politics, and improving the bloodline. Drago's genes were a sign, not something they'd called.
However -- the point that Drago's genes are the weakest of the bunch, so why get excited about them still holds.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Cleraly you have not noticed that they kill off at least one person per episode.
Hey, they killed off, like, billions in the mini, several thousands in the Olympic Career in episode 2, killed off Mr. One-Eared Rapist last week, and a dozen of inappropriately joyous Top Gun types this week. At the rate they're going, nobody without their name in the credit is gonna survive to season 5.
Frankly, I'll be surprised if they don't do at least one Mysterious Space Contagion episode. One that makes everyone paranoid and involves hot people being sweaty and shirtless and drawing guns on one another. It's a rule.

I think they have people to spare. I worry about Vipers and Raptors and helmets.

God, yes, please.

Yeah, how are they going to replace their equipment?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I was thinking that they're going to be missing that can of paint at some point.

Oh, hello. I'd be on board for that.
BSG update: Starbuck-centric episode didn't make me like the show any more.

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that, Dana. I'm not sure why I'm so infatuated with the show, since I've never been that into miliatary SF and most of the world-building makes me very sporky, but it's got me in its grubby mitts but good.
The latest episode--I thought some of the foreshadowing was a bit heavy-handed, but that scene with Starbuck and Adama when he finds out about Zak? Yowza. "Walk out of this cabin while you still can." EJO barely changes his expression throughout the whole scene, but the rage and grief emanating off his body is palpable.
