I know it's Christmas Eve/Christmas Day (depending on time zones) so no one will be around. But on the offchance that you are online and bored:
Can anyone answer the following questions?
- In the latest webisode, even though it will cost them a small amount of precious air, they need to dump the body so that it doesn't start contaminating their atmosphere with methane, etc. I have no understanding of biology but that sounds good and plausible (even if I suspect it's setting up someone to die of a faulty pressure suit). But, why not just put the body in a spacesuit? I mean, it's airtight, right? Sure it'd be kinda creepy having a dead body sat there, but they wouldn't lose any air. Which seemed to be worrying them.
- Why is there no toilet in Athena/Caprica's cell? I mean, it's built to be like, frakking indestructible and mostly they wouldn't even take Athena out of it without a dog collar and a million chains and a whole PLATOON of marines. Yet they build a cell where they're going to have to let her out several times a day to use the bathroom?
- Is abortion still illegal in the Fleet? It was the platform Baltar used to launch his campaign but that got completely subsumed by the New Caprican issue. I think it would be darkly wonderful if he just never did anything about the abortion issue and it's still illegal. That would just sum up Baltar. I'm also morbidly disappointed we never saw the fallout of that executive order. Like, you know, all the dead women.
- Not so much a question as an observation. I think I'm far too attached to this show because when I discover people I really respect and love reading the work of think that BSG squandered its potential and became a confused mess, it makes me really, really sad. Like someone just kicked my puppy, and now the only sound I want to make is meep sad. I think because I find it so wonderful and the idea that there's someone out there who doesn't see that and who I now couldn't hypothetically have awesome discussions about it with makes me all...wibbly. Not like angry or anything. People can have their own opinions and lord knows that I think a bunch of shows other people have tried to assure me are genius are actually complete and utter bollocks, so this is just the flip side of that. But...dude. I'm so sad. Which is a little "sad". :(
( Cut because it's rambly and longer, but basically boils down to: Give me your unspoiled Final Cylon opinions/spec! )
