I wonder if Johann Bode saw all this schoolboy humor coming?

The dark purple of a link doesn't always provide the best contrast with the black article text, so it's not surprising you missed it.

It's clearly stated that the show took place 150,000 years in the past. However there was apparently no impact the Colonials had on the world at all. Agriculture was only discovered a couple thousand years ago, writing even sooner. Homo erectus was a short creature and there is no sign that they got any taller for several millennia.
My theory is that all the colonials eventually died out. A natural disaster or plague did them in pretty quickly. Because otherwise they would have had some impact on early human culture or biology/

The cynic in me sees the happy ending and wants to turn it on its head. I picture Lee's stomach fat; not from food, but from the parasite living inside him. Flies buzzing around as he lies motionless trying to breath. Romo starts killing people after he realizes his dog is dead. The Baltar sex cult is too consumed by its own hedonistic ways that they all starve to death.

It didn't escape me that the last person associated with the mutiny got killed in the finale. Quite unceremoniously.

Hmmm. Love? I don't know. If you ever work with anyone like Ron or other "big" personalities, you find that there is love... as long as you don't cross them. And crossing them could be just about anything that makes them unhappy.

If I have to really choose one issue with BSG, it would be the "love" thing. A little too hippie and unrealistic. I can just gloss over all that easily enough though, there is too much to love about this series not to let it go.
