So does that make the airlock a glory hole?
GLORY TO YOU AND YOUR HOLE! ಠ‿ಠ

( ಥ︡ ͜ʖ ಥ︠ ) Qapla’!
Is that Chancellor Gowron in the second picture or President Laura Roslin?

So say we all.
So I just finally got around to watching BSG a little while ago and I have never in my life so aggressively wanted my time back. I do not get why it’s popular
I think its popularity was a product of the time. Back then the show was downright groundbreaking, and as you had to watch it week to week, the hype and popularity built up over time, and a lot of that was deflated when the show was hit by a writers strike and then the finale which was kind of a polarising shitshow. I’d bet the people that love it watched it while it was airing, and I’d bet most people that watched it after it aired are generally like “eh, it was okay at points”
I mostly watched it while it aired, and while I like it, I don’t go out of my way to recommend it to people very often. I think for the time period it was great, it was a big event at the time, but it’s clear RDM had no idea where the story was going and watching it again years after the fact makes that so damn obvious. The show had some great cliffhangers and twists which worked really well when you were watching week to week and could talk to your friends about it, not so much if you’re binging it 20 years later.
That would make a lot of sense. The whole thing felt ‘pointless’. Not really but like… just directionless. Meandering and then fizzles out. That explanation really fills the gaps as to why it felt that way to me.
Yeah!
Sometimes they come bang on the hull trying to pretend they don’t know what they did wrong, just trying to kick you off’ your own ship a few times. Just warp out and forget about them until their revenge arc in a couple seasons 🤷
Ok I do get that this is meant to be funny. All the same:
I’ve never really thought about how much easier murder would be in space…
The chances of someone actually finding the body if you jettison… slim to nil. That’s a tiny bitty person-package in a huge vast emptiness. And I bet people go missing all the time for various reasons, especially in hubs like space stations… people go missing all the time in normal terrestrial cities, after all.
Plus most of your environment is metal, so no foot prints or dirt on your shoes, hair and such would blow around making it kinda worthless, etc… heck if you can just avoid any sort of struggle, and find a way to hide the person until you get to the airlock with some other stuff in need of jettison, you’d be all but guaranteed to not be caught.
Are there any episodes/movies of anything that explore this more? I can’t think of any, and I’m a bit curious about that when shows like Dexter were super popular…
