I must say though, that I felt they lost a LOT of potential character stuff in that one-year gap - they've been doing these large gaps recently, and I don't like it. They're losing a LOT of character-development potential, which is what this series has always been from the beginning - a character drama. It seems like that's becoming lost in the let's-jump-ahead-to-the-good-parts attitude.



There may be a fair chance of the 1st half of next season going through the stories from that missing year - relationships and events in flashbacks etc - have to hand it to Moore, he certainly keeps things fresh - and us guessing with it... it's certainly got the viewers thinking and talking

Ron Moore's missus was quite funny on last week's podcast - could hear Ron nearly spitting out his whiskey when she told everyone she reads the SciFi website's BSG forums every day

I think Ron had David Eick - the other producer on with him for tonight's ep - should be quite interesting to see they get on - or not!

The items that Zion and Moth3r mentioned would be great to have - no more repetitive questions (and sometimes incorrect answers) for the specs on all the differing sets.

I remember when there were only the 'Anamorphic' and 'Tr47' OT dvdr sets, and MagnoliaFan was just getting his Ep1 FanEdit out to people - it was a simpler time...


Looking forward to seeing the new look forums - keep up the great work Jay - 'tis most appreciated m8.

Very much enjoyed the latest episode - and left with me the feeling for immediately needing to see the series finale as soon as the credits rolled on this ep

Poor Chief Tyrol - seems like Ron Moore has a penchant for punishing anyone who carries the rank of Chief in one of his shows (Chief O'Brien from TNG & DS9 regualary was regulary emotionally and physically abused and tortured)! Perhaps he never got on with the engineers and non/coms from his navy days...

Baltar is a joy to watch - so slimy and scheming - it's a joy to watch

Perhaps they find an habitable planet and face the choice of carrying on searching for Earth, or settling down and colonizing this one. Of course, I'm sure it won't be as plain sailing as that...

Apparently the suits at SciFi were taken by surprise with the conclusion to end of the 2nd season.

^ the actress that played Diana (Jane Badler?) - she was damn fine, and connivingly evil to boot.

Have you got any bikini shots of her for the Beautiful Women thread, MBJ?


In the upcoming eps Starbuck is looking as stunning as ever...


Intriguing stuff on Moore's podcast (and blog) - several things he admits to not being up to scratch and was disappointed with (and himself).

Downloaded, for me was a quality epside which got me thinking and caring about what was going on and what was going to happen - something which has perhaps been missing from the last few eps.

After our last child was born, my wife told me we had to cut back on expenses - I had to give up drinking beer. I was not a big drinker, maybe a 12-pack on weekends.

Anyway, I gave it up but I noticed the other day when she came home from grocery shopping, the receipt included £100 worth of makeup.

I said, "Wait a minute I've given up beer and you haven't given up anything!"

She said, "I buy that makeup for you, so I can look pretty for you."

I told her, "fuck off, that's what the beer was for!"

an old, old classic:-


Dear Tech Support:

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the Flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and then installed undesirable programs such as: Football 5.0, Rugby 4.3 and Cricket 3.0.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs; it simply crashes the system.
I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate

-------------------------------------------------------

Dear Desperate:

First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package,
while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System.

Try entering the command:
C:/I-THOUGHT-YOU-LOVED-ME
to download Tears 6.2, which should automatically install Guilt 3.0.

If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

But remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1.

WARNING: Beer 6.1 is a very nasty program that will create Snoring Loudly.

CAUTION: Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law. This is not a supported application and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. I
personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck, Tech Support.




--------------------------------------------------
Dear Technical Support,

18 months ago, I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from DrinkingMates 4.2, which I had used for years without any trouble. However, there are apparently conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off.

To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as LadsNightOut 3.1, Football 4.5, and Playboy 6.9. Successive versions of GirlFriend proved no better.

I tried a shareware program, Slapper 2.1, but it had many bugs and left a virus in my system, forcing me to shut down completely for several weeks.

Eventually, I tried to run GirlFriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the same time, only to discover that when these two systems detected each other they caused severe damage to my hardware.

I eventually upgraded to Fiancée 1.0, only to discover that this product soon had to be upgraded further to Wife 1.0.
While Wife 1.0 tends to use up all my available resources, it does come bundled with FreeSexPlus and Cleanhouse2005.

Shortly after this upgrade, however, I found that Wife 1.0 could be very unstable and costly to run. Any mistakes I made were automatically stored in Wife 1.0's memory and could not be deleted.
They then resurfaced months later when I had forgotten about them.
Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary, Explorer and E-mail filter, and can, without warning, launch TurboStrop and Multi-Whinge. These latter products have no Help files, and I have to try to guess what the problem is.

Additional problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly, requiring ShoeShop Browser for new attachments and Hairstyle Express which needs to be reinstalled every other week. Also, when Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my Saab 93 Convertible hard drive, it often crashes.

Wife 1.0 also comes with an irritating pop-up called MotherInLaw, which can't be turned off.
Recently I've been tempted to install Mistress 2005, but there could be problems.

A friend of mine has alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0 detects Mistress 2005, it tends to delete all of the Money section before uninstalling itself...

Time
A guy walks into a bar, sits down at the bar, and notices a very large jar on the counter. He sees it's filled to the brim with $10 bills. He guesses there must be thousands of dollars in it. His curiosity is too great, so he approaches the bartender and asks, "What's up with the jar?"

"Well, you pay ten dollars and if you pass three tests, you get all the money."

The man certainly isn't going to pass this up. "What are the three tests?"

"Pay first, those are the rules." says the bartender. So the man gives him the tenner and the bartender drops it into the jar. "OK," the bartender says, "here's what you need to do. First you have to drink that entire gallon of pepper tequila... the whole thing, all at once... and you can't make a face while doing it. Second, there's a pit bull chained up out back with a sore tooth. You have to remove the tooth with your bare hands. Third, there's a 90-year-old woman upstairs who has never reached orgasm during intercourse. You've gotta make things right for her."

The man is stunned. "I know I paid my 10 dollars , but I'm not an idiot! I won't do it! You have to be nuts to drink a gallon of pepper tequila and then do those other things..."

"Your call," says the bartender, "but your money stays where it is."

As time goes on and the man has a few drinks, then a few more, he asks,"Wherez zat teeqeelah?" He grabs the gallon with both hands and downs it with a big slurp. Tears are streaming down both cheeks, but he doesn't make a face. Next, he staggers out back where the pit bull is chained-up, and soon all the people inside the bar hear a huge, noisy scuffle going on outside. They hear the pit bull barking, the guy screaming, the pit bull yelping, and then... silence.

Just when they think the man surely must be dead, he staggers back into the bar with his shirt ripped and large bloody scratches all over his body.

"Now," he says, "where's the old woman with the sore tooth?
