I know this is old, but the reason why they don't get sucked off into space is because once all the air is "sucked" out the area becomes a vacuum and no longer has any kind of pressure or force. The only reason things get "sucked" into space is because of the pressure in the ship venting out. Once all the pressure (air) leaves the ship, the inside of the damaged area and the outside (empty space) has the same pressure which means things no longer get "sucked" out

2020-09-24 18:28:40 +0000 UTCand probably the best description of military v police you'll ever hear. . and the acting constantly on point. . look no further than boomer, especially that moment in the cockpit seemingly struggling against some sort of programming, spectacular

2019-07-23 23:07:46 +0000 UTCExactly shows like Mission impossible, Space 1999, did it as well.

2019-07-23 10:18:26 +0000 UTCYou can also close your eyes for 10 seconds or so and problem solved, because there's no audio. Never bothered me either though.

2019-07-23 01:55:32 +0000 UTCWhen you're talking about the best sci fi TV shows, it sort of depends what you mean by sci fi (does Game of Thrones count?) and it also depends if you're grading on a curve based on when it came out. Babylon 5 was an outstanding piece of science fiction when it came out, but doesn't hold up quite so well now. You could also add a qualifier for whether you're grading based on the whole run, or the show at its best. The first season of Westworld is outstanding, but the second season wasn't as good. Same goes for BSG - the first 2.5 seasons (Razor included) are far better than the back half. In that case, maybe Firefly deserves the crown (consistently great throughout), but then you have to take the view that longevity doesn't matter. At the end of the day it's all pretty meaningless though. Good shows is good shows.

2019-07-23 01:54:30 +0000 UTCWell, to be fair, head Six also led him to it... and it's pretty hard to say at this stage whether she's a manifestation of his somewhat addled mind, or actually being beamed into his brain.

2019-07-23 01:47:33 +0000 UTCWow, I didn't remember that my favorite quote of the show came this early: There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

2019-07-22 21:41:43 +0000 UTCRegarding "Why don't they get sucked out into space". First off, they're probably wearing magnetic shoes that keep them on the "ground". Secondly, in space nothing happens without gravity or inertia. You don't start accelerating (or slowing down) on your own. Scenes where people are "sucked out" always occur when there's a breach between a pressurized room and the "nothing" of space. The 1 bar standard atmosphere against the 0 bar vacuum. The air expands into space to decrease the pressure and because it happens so violently it pulls everything with it just like a hurricane. When Tyrol and the crew entered the water tanks, they were already completely empty and vacuumed out. So no force there to push/pull anyone anywhere,

2019-07-22 21:25:05 +0000 UTCFirst off, I'm extremely excited to see that you're continuing with this show. Now about your question regarding Gaius choosing that first guy as a cylon, he simply needed a patsy to point to because he wanted to tell everyone about the strange device on the com system. He chose him because he was an outsider and not really known to the crew on the ship and he had access to Galactica a lot because he was documenting the decommission ceremony that was happening in the mini series. The fact that the man he chose to blame did happen to be a cylon and probably did plant the device was just blind luck.

2019-07-22 19:49:39 +0000 UTCThanks for continuing to watch BSG! 1) Don't watch the recap, just look away, that's what another reactor did. 2) About Sharon/Boomer - maybe call the one on Galactica - Boomer and the one on Caprica - Sharon. 3) About how Gaius found Doral cylon in miniseires - I think he picked the guy that no one knew and who was seen around dradis and cylon device as a scapegoat. 4) Hunter Boyle did a reaction on BSG on youtube, you can probably get more info from her on how to post without getting blocked.

2019-07-22 12:46:51 +0000 UTCIt’s really hard to compare TOS to modern sci-fi. It’s literally the first tv show I watched, and I am a huge Trek fan over all, but while it’s 1st and 2nd season are great (especially for its time), but it’s third season is for the most part utterly terrible. It’s certainly hugely influential. My top five would be The Expanse ( at least to date), BSG 2003, Deep Space Nine, TNG, TOS.

2019-07-22 12:08:54 +0000 UTCThe show does some very heavy world building and features three/ four story arcs at the start of the first season. It’s very dense storytelling (Very similar on how Game of Thrones starts out with storylines in four places in its 1st episode). I don’t know anyone who wasn’t hooked if they made it through the 4th episode).
Mark Wood
2019-07-22 11:55:11 +0000 UTCI agree. BSG definitely is one of top sci fi show of all time for me. The only other sci fi show to top it, in my opinion, is Star Trek TOS.

2019-07-22 11:49:02 +0000 UTCI never got into that - the first couple of eps didnt draw me in. Maybe I should give it another go

2019-07-22 07:27:32 +0000 UTCBoomer, is Sharon’s call sign. The show uses Boomer to reference the model on the Galactica and Sharon to reference the model that is on the planet Caprica.
Mark Wood
2019-07-22 07:25:06 +0000 UTCYeah it’s intended as a homage, and while I didn’t care for it, it isn’t that much different then the more standard showing you a trailer of the next episode at the end of the current week.
Mark Wood
2019-07-22 07:22:06 +0000 UTCShows with action and adventure in the 70s and 80s would show flashes from the episode you're about to watch to get you excited for the episode. The original Battlestar Galactica was like this, and the reboot is doing it as an homage to those older action shows that did this. Personally I don't mind it, you're never really going to be shown enough to really fully understand the context of the flashes, but at the same time I get not wanting to see anything from the episode before you watch it.
