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 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.

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

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.

Also, I didn't try not to laugh at the cat. It was frickin' funny!

And your lens flare count puts the kibosh on my lens flare drinking game--or it makes it awesome.

Sir, THIS is the best one.
+ Watch video

Yeah, that one is fucking hilarious!

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.

Thank God it's over. At this rate, we'd have had people dying and coming back to life in the same damn scene.

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."
