I can't be sure he wasn't a dick sometimes, but I do remember that at no point I thought that he did something morally bankrupt, like, you know, every other character.
What made Helo interesting that even in their screwed up Universe there was one person who could still not only tell good from evil, but to act accordingly. Sure, "real" people who sometimes are not noble are interesting, but these were commoplace in BSG. Now, believable character who never crossed moral event horizon was interesting and made sure that audience still cared what happens to these people because we know there is at least one decent person among those 50000.

well... there was Helo? I loved BSG and many characters from it, but I always took comfort in that I could always rely on Helo to act like a decent human being. My point being, you have to have at least one likable person, even if it's a secondary character.
So how come the girl is speaking English? Is there at least half decent explanation for this?
Pony Stark?
but... but... it was Rassilon who wanted to destroy time! Davros only wanted to destroy every particle in existence!
Huh, I had no idea Pirate Radio flopped. It was a good film with an excellent cast.
I got the impression that original parallel universes weren't of the "different choice" variety. So there's different mechanisms at work, I think.
I doubt the show itself will ever have a companion from extended universe, not just a rip-off. Big Finish on the other hand sometimes does audios with companions from the books or comics.
I'm torn between liking him as an actor and finding all of his episodes completely awfull.
She's fun. And it's on audio, so you have the real Doctor, so it's almost canon.
Yeah, I thinks it's fair to say that what we have is not four Universes, but two with altered timelines. And travelling between different timelines is different between crossing to the other Universe.
Yeah, if Moffat will make Madame de Pompadour a companion, it'll continue the trend of the new series of ripping extented Universe companions. Bernice Summerfield was an archeologist from the future long before River Song (and also shagged the Doctor before River), Charlie was 18 year old blonde with a (returned) crush on the Doctor long before Rose, Hex was male nurse companion before Rory and Lucie was loud one who wouldn't take any crap from the Doctor before Donna. Now just when the Eight Doctor started to travell with Mary Shelley it's time for the New Who to have its very own historical companion!
My favorite argument against GMFs: "But... it's got genes in it!"

Well played.
I try not to presume everyone has seen it :) But what are you doing on the internet reading a thread about Twin Peaks? That's just dangerous!
In Russia the indentity of the murderer in Twin Peaks was made into a meme. On a site when you can post any funny excange from ICQ etc. someone posted this exchange:
"I've just downloaded Twin Peaks!"
'"*** killed Lora Palmer. You can delete 10GB."
Now everyone knows the identity of the killer and hardly anyone saw it. I was lucky :)

I don't know, nothing is too creepy for me (except torture porn. that's just boring and pointless). I loved how they walked the line between science and science fiction. And science depicted was cutting edge at the time of writing. I think they only got spanish flu couple of years after it was on the show.
ReGenesis was the best show about science I've ever seen, but there's hardly any fanbase for it.
it was on io9. I laughed, at least until I remembered that I watched BSG in 1 or 2 weeks. I converted some episodes to watch them on 2.8 inch player because my mum got pissed that I wouldn't go to sleep at 4 a.m for pete's sake!
Yeah, actually in the books Daenerys' marriage was portrayd even worse. In the show, she became more assertive and made him to have sex with her in a way that was pleasurable to both of them. In the book I seem to remember he was still anally raping her but there was a phrase that went something like "but now she sometimes cried out of pleasure, not only of pain", which is fucked up on so many levels. And the show makes most of the character seem older than they are in books, so the fact that it turns out she's thirteen didn't help either.
