Someone at the network had to have known that was wrong. I'll bet they were snickering through the whole show.

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

Yes, that was ironic, but as usual the BSG plot is about as coherent as season two of Twin Peaks. That's the real fail.
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

Are you trying to suggest that season 1 of Twin Peaks made sense?

Tomato soup looks like blood, too (although not Hollywood blood).

Damn, this is good coffee!

Not only is the red soup blasting everywhere bad enough but the song "I just want to celebrate another day of living" really adds that special touch to the situation.

Naturally I wouldn't dream of it, just found season 2 to be even more bizarre. The last episode.. well it has to be seen to be believed.

FWIW David Lynch did admit that they shot the series sequentially and that they didn't know themselves where they were heading from episode to episode at times. Lynch and co wrote themselves into many a corner and made some bizarre things to get back on track.

I skipped over that commercial when I watched BSG. However, I still have the show on my PVR and yep, there's that commercial right afterwards. (Space Channel rox! ) Unless I can find the bare file somewhere, this is one clip I'm most definitely going to have to try to transfer from my PVR to my Mac. It's just too awesome.

This is one for the history books folks!

P.S. At the next commercial, it's "Cheez Whiz adds personality". Not quite the same, but very slightly amusing in the context of the Cylons.

Might want to mention that it's a mega spoiler for someone who watches the show but hasn't seen the latest episode.

It's also fraking hilarious.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.
