· The episode of Galactica that aired Friday put the lie to part of my hypothesis, so it's been updated. Nothing major, and they kinda-sorta explained how it can affect cylons. As an aside, you can tell Ronald Moore didn't like writing the technobabble on Star Trek: The Next Generation: One instance of (minor) technobabble was quite literally hand-waved away :)
· Again, on Friday's ep, there was a scene in which Helo went against orders. As he puts his plan into action he removes his dog-tags. Symbolic, I think: He's acting outside his role as the ship's XO. Nah, he just needed a screwdriver. They have ships that can travel in intersteller space and shrug off a nuke, yet nobody carries a leatherman?
· I forgot that Saturday was a federal holiday (Veteran's Day) so I didn't get my canceled check. Hopefully it'll come in the mail tonight.
