Hmm? I find myself wondering. Do we have more or less cuss words today as we had, say 100 years ago. :-) Future cuss words. Hmm? I find myself wondering.

Incidentally, anTonio, I've been telling you BSG is the best thing on TV since season 1. I so wanna frack your melon by giving you some mind benders we've been thrown to present, but I'll wait until you catch up in the story line... @Tom Yes, yes she does, all the fracking time.

I was watching the bonus materials and I saw footage from the original series through which I was reminded of the fact that the Cylons were originally a lizard-like race of sentient beings who created the androids that are commonly referred to as Cylons (much like Frankenstein's monster being referred to as Frankenstein). In the new series, the Cylons are the android creation of humanity, who rebelled. Thus it would appear that the arching narrative of the new show was inspired in part by P.K. Dick's Blade Runner, and/or I. Assimov's I Robot. Of course influences are not directly cause and effect and are not easily traced, but either way, the twist in the new show is quite effective as it allows the writers do deal with issues regarding technology, humanity's responsibility to the things they create, and the question of what constitutes life. Good Stuff!! Just another comment about the series.
