For example, “You BSG pushers make Admiral Cain look frakking reasonable!”

Come on Lev, I’ll let you see the mini-series for free. But after that it’ll cost you- 3300 minutes of pure pleasure. Incidentally, that’ enough time for the Cylons to sniff out the Olympic Carrier 100 times.

I don’t know of a metaphor that means stubborn from the BSG universe, though I’m sure it includes the word “frack”.

That’s over 50 hours, enough time for Lev, the Speedy Gonzales of Fantasy, to write at least three sequels to The Magicians (or to watch 6,600 commercials on BestAdsOnTV.com!). Since pop culture has made it almost impossible to NOT know what happened in the last episodes, that’s a hell of a commitment for a known outcome.

I guess that kind of thing won’t be available until FTL drives actually exist. Too bad because if there was a way to watch them cheaply and easily, I’m sure no blogger reporting on geek culture would pass that up.

Not that a science fiction show receiving such an award necessitates nerdly interest, or anything.

On second thought, I’d lean toward not. We’ll see what they do with it.

Amusingly, pinning down exactly what was a ret-con and what wasn’t was one of the major pasttimes on the BSG boards…
