Novella - SGU & BSG

[erastes]

This novella wants to be a novel. 

WELL YOU CAN’T. so there.

Lili is still shouting.  If I give in and feed her an hour early, she’ll be hungry again by bedtime.

SGU.  While I’m still enjoying it, I rather wonder about the scriptwriters. No-one is going to be concerned about the crew crashing into the sun in episode FIVE of a new series. Threaten one or two people, and we will believe it; threaten the entire ship and we’ll go “yeah, it’s going to be a very shortlived programme then. Hardly worth paying all that money out for.”

Another thing, though.  If they’ve got these stone things to contact earth – then why the blinkerty blink haven’t they contacted Rodney to come and look at the ship. 1. he’d be hugely excited at the tech 2. He’s the ultimate expert in Ancient stuff 3. He can fix anything 4. OK – if the actor isn’t available, then at LEAST give us a reason why he’s not being called in.

BSG: Something I didn’t understand in the original series and I still don’t understand with this one, is, if Earth is one of the places they went to with their Diaspora, then when did they go? did they infiltrate when the planet was already semi-grown e.g. medieval time, or in modern times, because they couldn’t have been cavemen flying ships.

Also—and I know this is stupid of me, but where’s the hairdresser shop?  It would please me so much to see the beautician on the Battlestar, because everyone’s so beautifully turned out.  Tighe’s wife arrived after several weeks being in hospital, and stepped out of the shuttle perfectly made up and her hair shining and in perfect perfect waves. Gah. At least Starbuck looks messy.
