And the blonde reporter with a South African surname AND accent? Caprica!=Earth btw. Was that a joke or a blunder?
Lucy Lawless is a New Zealander, you ignorant fuck. She doesn't even try to put on her bad American accent that she used on Xena.
You seriously thought that was a South African accent? Jesus Christ. Here's some (

Ah crap, I hadn't then, I thought Australian.

South African and New Zealand actually have some similar tones and pitches.
Edit:And Austrailian I suppose.

Fuck yeah. Get your N.Z. pride right here!
It's like a haka is going to break out any minute.

Oh... wow. You genuinely have no idea who that actress is, do you?
I did not recognise her, no. I've seen maybe 30 minutes of Xena when someone else had it on. Not seen the actress in anything else I can remember. She looks much better in this than in Xena, I must say.

Ignorant fuck?
Now I usually would tell you where to go, especially as you're equating not knowing some minor actress and her country of origin with ignorance which, itself, is fairly ignorant. But the insult is really not warranted, so I'd like an apology please. Even though I've clearly made a mistake here, that's just a bit ott.
Especially as the "education" link you supplied is to a series of videos with mostly black South Africans speaking who, as anyone who isn't ignorant knows, don't have the same accent as whites in SA
at all.
Also: lols at no one commenting on any of the other issues I mentioned. It's like [nerd]
you don't know Xena! You haven't LIVED[/nerd] or something.

That's pretty much the gist of it.

I think the extermination bit is pretty simple to explain: at the end of the first Cylon war, the Cylons were let go and everyone in the Colonies thought it was over, but here they come back twenty years later killing everyone.
They don't want the same thing to happen to them if they let go the last surviving humans on their merry way, so they want to make sure everyone's dead and stay dead. Remember that President Adar offered complete and unconditional surrender after the first nukes, but they kept blasting away.
Diplomacy is not an option.

There isn't ever going to be much comment on a list of minor inconsistencies and observations from early in the series. Let's just say that later on there are far more numerous, and significant, problems.
Not knowing who Lucy Lawless is is eminently forgivable, Xena wasn't hugely popular or hugely memorable even ten years ago. And yeah, she looks far better in everything she's been in compared to Xena.
She really doesn't sound anything like a South African though, not even the more neutral Cape/ Durban accent let alone an Afrikaaner or one of the black accents.
raph, if you've seen Razor there's an excellent example of an Australian accent in that.

Seen it. ( <3 Stephanie Jacobsen :cheeky:)
I'd really have to listen to both actresses back to back to really tell the difference though, my english isn't good enough for me to do it on my own when it's in separate episodes like that :)

Fair enough on the diplomacy raph.

I'm not going to like this am I? Why can't writers keep it together?
My comment about pain and fear in Cylons is anything but minor though. I've really tried to imagine the scenario in RL and I'm sure that the human race would be much more sensible and analytical.
BSG has great potential, thus far, for exploring the questions "What is life?" and "What is sentience?" and so on. Something tells me it won't live up to that potential. I didn't watch it 1st time because it was recommend by a Stargate fan and as you all know that is the 2nd worst piece of sci-fi turd ever (No1 being Alien 4, natch).
And Cape accents aren't neutral. Do you li
ch(cough cough, just brought some phlegm up)e them?

Thought as much. Eva is turning out to be an incredible nerd and a fuckwit to boot. Should have know after all his idiotic posts in Gen Gaming.
