Athena being a keyboard-lady may have been able to know how to use a vocoder such as the EMS Vocoder 5000 aka the Cylon Vocoder!!

Actually, If I were Starbuck I would have taken Athena over Cassiopia in a heartbeat. With that said I do see the logic in Starbuck choosing Cassiopia since he was the love 'em and leave 'em type. If Starbuck %$#@ on Athena he could have wound up on deep space probe for a few yahren, and he could posibly kiss his rank goodbye! While no such result would occur with %$#@-ing on Cassiopia, and both women were very attractive.

A stupid question. Maybe one of you scientific types can answer it. I've been thinking about the other solid planets in the solar system. If their magnetic fields are different from Earth's would a compass work the same for someone standing on say Mars as it does for someone here? Yes, I know, I have no life. Take Care.

Ok, now I'm only on here because I'm drunk and bored, just got home from a night out with my grad school friends. But I have to say I like the new show and the old show because they are enjoyable to watch. Anyone who thinks that sex is some raunchy foul thing that should only be saved for the person you love most should never have been born because guess what your parents had sex so that you could live. Anyways when I get drunk I ramble so here's my ramble...I haven't seen the new season since I decided to buy a car and have a life rather than watch TV but from what I remember about the first two seasons of the new BG I enjoyed the fresh story line and found it refreshing to see a science fiction that looked at the world realistically and saw that there is no objective right and wrong that both are intertwined. It show that both sides, human and Cylon believe themselves to be right and act as such, not because one is evil and the other good. Like all wars both sides beleive themselves to be in the right an the other to be the evil when both sides act in good and bad ways. Only the victor writes the history making themselves the right. Now many of you may disagree with me but you are all morons that need to either get off your ivory tower or the couch in your mother's basement and try functioning in the real world. I really don't care if you reply to this and you can do so all you want since I'm not leaving an email address and I frankly will have forgotten about this whole thing by the time I go flirt with my statistics professor tomorrow.

socialator was a position endorsed by cassie's religious sect, what ever that was. the problem was most of the other sects didn't have as high an opinion of the practice. take care.

I think you must have got your wires crossed. By the time BG comes about the position of Solicitator is a chosen profession rather than amn act of destitution. It would be strictly monitored by the Health Service (if one exists)and would mean that Cassiopia would have been a far' cleaner' bet than dating the Colonel's daughter. Starbuck was also working in a dangerous business. Cass would be a willing partner with no strings attached whereas Athena would be more inclined to want him to settle down. That would mean losing his edge.

i honestly believe ron moore is one of those sad individuals who doesn't believe in good and evil, right and wrong, but rather a godless universe where there is no morality and so anything goes. from the way he has mutated and perverted the characters in galactica this seems to be the case. if i wanted adult entertainment i would go rent a porn flick. at least porn doesn't pretend to be something of substance.
everyone say's ron moore has changed science fiction. how? by taking the wonder and all the fantastic situations out of it. science fiction is supposed to be unbelievable, an escape from every day life. why do you think star wars is so popular? if he wanted reimagined to be really believable the galactica wouldn't be flying through space faster than the speed of light, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE, MR.GRITTY REALISIM. once more my barbs are not directed toward fans of the old or new series, only mr. moore.
take care.

In a good story, good always triumphs over evil. But in this new version of "Battlestar Galactica," I don't see much good on either side. One could even argue that the Cylons might be the good guys! After all, all we've seen is attempted rape, torture, seduction, betrayal...it's nice to see that the loss of their homes and the deaths of billions didn't affect the Colonials' sex drives. Maybe Ron Moore is trying to say that humans are the disease, and the Cylons are the cure. On a related subject, with sex seemingly everywhere in the Colonial Fleet, Colonel Tigh once told the Chief to break off his affair with Boomer. But if there's only 50,000 people left out of a race of billions, wouldn't reproduction be encouraged? But these clowns aren't thinking about re-populating the human race; they just wanna get some. The heck with the continuation of the species.

unfortunately our society is morally bankrupt today. this is what we get for tossing our old values out the window to be modern and liberal. trash sells, so that's all anyone writes anymore.
i like what billy graham said, we're a race of technological giants and moral midgets.
it might be old fashioned, but give me stories where good and evil fight it out and good wins.

You can write a good story without adding the trash.

Probably just a matter of Cassie clicking more with Starbuck. He was the "bad boy", its likely he might have had wilder sexual tastes and Cassiopea might have better accomodated him in that regard. Both characters do have a bt of a taboo element to them. Athena could have been too straightlaced for him. And theres nothing wrong with brunettes. Starbuck might simply have liked blondes more.

I look at it this way, at least the original show was clean for kids and the fact that Cassi was a prostitute was all but hidden to kids because what 10 year old would know what a sociallator is. It would have been hard for any warrior to choose between the two, but if you remember, Starbuck did try to get with Athena while she was undressed in the barreks and she turned him down. All the more reason for him to look at another woman, especially a beautiful woman like Cassiopia. Of course, Athena was just as beautiful if not more.

both were nice girls, but if starbuck had chosen athena he could have borrowed the keys to her dad's battlestar.
by the way, did you guys know they were going to replace maren jensen with another actress in the second season? they were going to explain a different face and voice by having athena injured in a cylon attack, requiring major reconstructive surgery.
take care.

There is absolutely no need for all the sex and violence in either the new or the old series. What purpose does it serve?

I have to admit, during the original "Battlestar Galactica" series, when I was only 13, I had the biggest crush on Cassiopeia. I thought she was beautiful. Of course, Maren Jensen's Athena wasn't too bad either! But even though Athena had lovely brunette hair and exotic facial beauty, she did not have the personality or character of Cassiopeia. Athena seemed like she would've bossed Starbuck around, when all Cassiopeia wanted to do was have fun. I think Cassiopeia working in the Med-Lab was a brilliant move (even though she went from wearing sexy dresses to wearing outfits like Nurse Nancy). As a nurse, it gave her a chance to redeem herself of past misdeeds. Then again, working in the Med-Lab, she'd also have access to medication for any genital herpes that might pop up...

I think she had more personality. It wasn't b/c she was blond, she was a better actress. Being blond didn't hurt.
And I think racial mixing is fine. It's better for the gene pool.

At least the old series was decent and good (for the most part). They too had issues with sending out bad messages to the youth who watched it. Hookers are not people to be looked up to and thats what the writers did with that blond call girl. Although it would also be incorrect for Starbuck to date that black girl either. Race mixing is really something that needs to be frowned on.

No need to worry about sexual issues on the old Battlestar as NO ONE had sex on that series...Lorne Green wouldn't allow it. After all, he had his Bonanza rep to uphold.
