Battlestar Galactica returns! (Possible spoilers leaked)

[Assenpfeffer]

Other than some ocaisionaly hokey plots the Original Battlestar Galatica was actualy fairly realistic in its science (except for the phasers on ships but only B5 of all major Sci-fi seems to have done that right). As realistic as firefly is in its depiction of death and the human condition I would not hold it up as realistic in science or ecconomics.

You know, that's true up to a point, at least. On one episode a fire was raging in one of the Galactica's damaged fighter bays (there'd been a crash or something - it's been a while)

The wounded Adama put the fire out the logical way - by venting that portion of the ship to vaccuum.

You'd never see that on Star Trek.

There was at least one episode that I recall from TNG that did do that, but the ship was damaged and they were trapped in a cargo bay.

Yes, but then Wesley traveled back in time to use the Quasiphasic Generators to prevent the fire from breaking out.

So it doesn't count.
