DC TV and tiny cells

Naw, just use "frack" all the time and get fined - use the paper notificaations to wipe with!

I can just picture Katee Sackoff doing that

"What is WRONG with this thing? Flush, damn you, FLUSH!"

"By your command."

"Wha...AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!"

The new Cylons are more stealthy. The expression "Roto Rooter" comes to mind, for some reason.

Tangent: I have to say, even though I was never a huge fan of OBSG, I always liked the Cylons- among my favorite "alien" menaces of all time. I think they're still in my top 5 of mechanical antagonists, alongside the Daleks, Replicators, Terminators and (new) Cybermen.

Continuing the tangent, The Borg didn't make your top 5?

The Borg is fully efficient and needs no form of waste removal.

Too much biomass

ie. I wouldn't consider the Borg to be a Mechanical Menace

Nope. They came in at 7 (of 9).

But seriously, they got edged out of my top 5, quite possibly for being too visually human. That definitely was a factor in knocking the NBSG Cylons out.

Plus, IMHO, the reworked Cybermen did a better job with the "assimilation" theme. Borg were too varied. Piecemeal replacement of parts resulted in too many variants to visually imply the cold efficiency of machine logic. Making all assimilated beings conform to the Procrustean mold that is the one and only standard Cyberman design is much more in keeping with that horror.
