Battlestar Galactica: An Epilogue
By Roz Young April 28, 2009
It’s no secret that my husband Nelson loved BSG and cried during the finale a few weeks ago. It’s also no secret that BSG and I had a cat fight a few seasons in and we haven’t talked much since. I have many reasons for disliking BSG that I would be happy to share with you, but Matt has placed a no spoiler clause in our friendship. He still wants to enjoy BSG from the start at some point. Regardless, I don’t care how hot your legs look in your fancy red dress, some human males must be able to resist your sexy circuits. Also, once the miracles and prophecies start happening, I’m outta there. Laaaaammmeee.
Recently, “Caprica” was released on DVD. It’s a prequel to the TV series. While I took off to do my own thing tonight, Nelson watched his precious BSG. Then, I had to hear all about it. The conversation that followed is recorded below, with my thoughts in brackets. Enjoy.
Nelson: Guess where cylons come from?!
Roz: When a mommy Apple and daddy PC love each other very much…
(Why are you interrupting my bath? I’m trying to read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies here.)
Nelson: They’re AI!
Roz: The movie? With the kid?
(Seriously dude, I’m in the bath.)
Nelson: No, like in Metaplanetary and Superluminal!
Roz: Oh yeah…
(That’s so exciting, if I wasn’t already naked in the bath I’d tear my clothes off. Those are good books though.)
Nelson: They’re computer programs that gained consciousness!
Roz: And sexiness?
(You know, the zombies aren’t going to behead themselves.)
Nelson: Haha.
Roz: Did this make you want to sleep with them more?
Nelson: Yes. Did you know, according to Caprica a brain holds only 300 MB? I don’t think I believe that.
Roz: Me either.
(That might be about right for the BSG writers.)
Nelson: I think my toaster holds more than 300 MB.
Roz: OOo, snap.
(OOo, snap. Hehe.)
Nelson: I mean the toaster that makes bread warm not the “pew pew” kind. Although I guess you could “pew pew” bread.
(I can’t believe he’s walking out of here shooting his cylon ray guns. Also, if it’s possible, zombie fighting Mr. Darcy is hotter than regular old Mr. Darcy…)
