To get back on topic, I am suffering a bit of confusion about Tigh being a Cylon. I thought anyone who had fought in the first Cylon war could not be a Cylon and Tigh fought in that war, he even referenced it in this episode
Same as they do in the US, they are senior NCM's who volunteer and are carefully screened for eligibility, just like any other trade. You do not need a degree to have the necessary skills to fly a helicopter nor, just because you joined the forces instead of going to university, does it mean...
A scientist recently posed an interesting question and that was "when did CO2 become a pollutant?" CO2 is a naturally occurring substance that is the key to life on this planet, without which we would all die. Further to that, the current atmospheric content of CO2 is approx. 385 part per...
Reading this story I can't help but wonder if the Citizen didn't just dust off the same one from 20 years ago. The numbers may change but story is the same, top heavy military.
The problem, IMHO, is that we have an elitist military. This is an opinion I have held for a long time and it still...

When looking at any scenario that involves Asia it has to be kept in mind that the two largest holders of American debt are China and India. This gives them enormous power over any US initiatives as a sudden dumping of US dollars would cripple the economy and could easily plunge the US into a...
The real winners will be the oil companies as any sort of unrest will cause the speculators on wall street to drive up the price of crude. As undesirable as Chavez may be, the US will want a stable market rather than volatility which could prompt them to stick their noses in.
Giving my parents a tour of the base after Grad just as a fire drill was taking place for one of the platoons, some of who had obviously been having a shower when it happened.
I knew one of the Canadians who was captured at Dieppe and shackled in retaliation. He had some very interesting stories about Canadian antics in the camps and the stuff they put over on the Germans including the shackling.
To a certain extent I enjoy the exploration part but when they find something they need to concentrate on it instead of it becoming peripheral to the "character development". For example, when they found the eye of Jupiter, the episode could have centered around that with lots of action with...
