@OW-Holmes--Upset with Polling: We can't, because if we travel into the future from this point in time, it will be the future of THIS reality, in which Biff is corrupt, powerful, and married to your mother, and in which THIS has happened to ME!! [holds up newspaper reading "EMMETT BROWN COMMITTED"] No, our only chance to repair the present is in the past, at the point where the time line skewed into this tangent. In order to put the universe back as we remember it and get back to our reality, we have to find out the exact date and specific circumstances of how, when, and where young Biff got his hands on that sports almanac.
@Grey_Area: Aww, thanks! :) Here's a secret, though, I already have a 4-year-old. But he thinks I am cool too. And he watches LOTR. So we have that going for us, which is nice.
@OW-Holmes--Upset with Polling: If you're referring to the description of Frank Miller's Martha Washington, it works out like this:
1.In the 1990s Frank Miller wanted to write a political satire. He set it in the future so it wouldn't be about any specific person but about general concepts in politics and socioeconomics.
2.In the 1990s the 21st Century was still in the future.
3.Much of the story takes place in what is now our present day --the early 21st Century.
4.Frank Miller is a good writer but not a prescient one. His fictional details of 21st Century life are entertaining but of course have no connection with the actual 21st Century we find ourselves in. They diverge quite a bit.
It would be interesting to see a BSG DVD movie that takes you back to that period.
It was dumb of Ron Moore and David Eick to push off the idea of more movies. But then maybe they figured everyone would be so disgusted by the fourth season that no one would want to see anymore.
No cause George Lucas invented everything himself and original. Star Wars was not inspired by various good and bad WW2 movies, 1940s movie serials, Kurosawa films or the Japanese movie, The Hidden Castle. No siree, not one damned bit. /end snarky fanboy reply
Sadly, the one character that was a true Lucas original was Jar-Jar Binks.
i belive the more apt comparison would be a few clips from star wars played along side a montage of lense flares from star trek. if no one has spliced together every lense flare sequence from star trek yet someone really should. there's a need there that the internet must fill.
Well to be fair, Pike didn't know Kirk's father. And it was Spock who destroyed the ship. And he was raised by his mother and step father. And he actively didn't dream about outer space, he wanted to stay out of the federation. But other than that yeah I guess it's exactly the same.
I heckle all during Star Trek, whispering to my sister: "He stole that from Whedon. He stole that from Star Wars-He stole that from Terminator!" So this is a funny video to me.
Also, I didn't try not to laugh at the cat. It was frickin' funny!
@Paul_Is_Drunk: I'd like to think so, lol. I didn't really want to see it so I heckled to increase my enjoyment; I also counted light flares! (225, give or take 40)
Wow. That's tough. The underlying video in Belabras's entry actually laugh, while the underlying video in PacoHertez's entry did not.
However, the actual use of the keyboard cat (may he R.I.P.), was much, much better in Paco Hertez's entry and made me laugh even harder than the Belabras' underlying video did.
So...the quite solid video with essentially superfluous use of keyboard cat loses to lesser video with brilliantly timed introduction of keyboard cat.
Having seen the final episode of SGA, let me tell you... if you took issue with the fact that no one EVER stayed dead on this show, the last episode is gonna be a TREAT for you!
Thank God it's over. At this rate, we'd have had people dying and coming back to life in the same damn scene.

So that's the connection between Star Wars and BSG.

At the end, Robert Picardo walks into an apartment where Beau Bridges is sitting in an armchair.
A little boy is playing with a snowglobe. Picardo says "I wonder what he sees in there."
CUT TO CLOSE-UP OF SNOWGLOBE WHERE WE SEE ATLANTIS
