BSG Finale

Oakman

I loved the first hour. It was like watching old friends who had been sick and are now returned to health. And there was Six in her red dress! By halfway through the second hour I wanted a barf bag. They flew the frackin' fleet into the sun? They're a relative small gene pool, so now that they have thrown away everything that differentiates them from the stone age savages they were spying on, they're going to split up into eight groups to make sure that the only way to survive is the intermarry with Ubunga and Mabunga and their many sisters? No books? All of their knowledge will be gone in two generations. No weapons? How are they going to hunt? Do they think mastodon is easy prey? No tools? How are they going to grow crops? Enslave the natives and force them to work in the fields? And you can't tell the angels without a scorecard? Give me a frakkin' break!!!

I agree, the first hour I thought they had recovered their soul. The second hour they betrayed their audience big time. Who would have thought they would all turn out to be religious Luddites, including the gratuitous slap at Christianity. And they seemed unable to figure out how to resolve most of the sub-plots they had introduced - The Chief off to be a hermit, Capt. Adama left standing alone in the field (some resolution there!) Starbuck a vanishing Ghost, Six and Gaius sweet loving farmers? Very disappointing. Seemed to be more about setting up the spin-offs than anything else. I guess i just expected too much of the SyFylus network.

I actually thought it was pretty damned good, but than by the time the second hour started I was working on my second cup of whiskey. But I also found myself wondering where they were going to get seeds to do any kind of agriculture 150,000 years in the past. Starting agricluture from scratch without so much as a sharp stick is a big problem. Otherwise, I thought the starting over part was legitimate.

Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

As in ounces from 9 to 16? Hell at that point I would start thinking Troy's logic was pretty damned good. ;)

It's around that level I start responding. Only at the 16th would I think his logic better than mine. :laugh:

I don't think it's possible to make the comparison. How can ILion's NULL be greater or less than anything? NULL is incomparable.

Oakman

(anything > Ilion) always evaluates to true, regardless of the value of anything?

Ilion is incomparable. A Null reference, as it were.
