I never saw the original BSG, but I want to now that I see Dirk Benedict was in it! I love that dude. Tarantino should hipster him up in his next movie.

I can't say anymore!
Oh, those handful of episodes that were dripping with dad issues were a little sickening, too. Basically, as soon as they started focusing on the CYLONS and all their attendant evil I was back into.

something tells me that wasn't it. I'm not sure what it is, I'm having trouble putting my finger on it...
*cough* skipped driver's ed on the day of a quiz not to go out and smoke pot behind the school or anything like that but to go to another section of my favorite English teacher's class instead. *cough*

Dude give us a LITTLE credit here. Everynerd knows that's the worst Star Trek evolution ever.
xpost: Yeah, remember how you used to talk about Lost...

Also, I don't know what their problem is w/r/t you -- I know someone whose daughter is an out lesbian (not practicing Orthodox, obv) but her father is very scholarly, respected, visible among his peers.
Also there are definitely some very lousy things about modern Hasidic life, NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH is their attitude/code of conduct for women.

I think at this point the basic sci-fi setting is so entrenched that it's not so different a starting point than here & now. Meaning, saying "okay, it's the future and there are space ships and humans living on different worlds" isn't a big deal, it's "okay, it's the future and there are space ships AND here's the hook". Although if those tropes really bother you than that's something else (I forget, have you read any Delany?).

(a lot of his writing also lacks those tropes, but that's what he came out of)
