A key difference between BSG and Star Trek is that BSG does away with the technobabble, by and large. They get down to why they are there – telling a story of people in some extraordinary situations – and don’t fall into a traps of needing to create some incomprehensible exposition to justify calling it science fiction.I also think have Dirk Benedict pop up could be good, but I had wanted an episode where he squared off with Katie Sackhoff/Starbuck in the same way their was an episode where Richard Hatch squared off with Jamie Bamber/Apollo. Given recent developments, that may not be possible.  And the possibility of a scene between Hatch and Benedict encountering each other while playing these new characters was enough to make my toes curl.I find the song strangely apropos for the show, but then I liked it anyway. I also though the scene in the coffee shop, in the episode Downloaded was perfect. They Cylons go to a great deal to remove human, talk about how they are not humans and are better than humans but then promptly start frequenting the local (ahem) Starbucks. For all the fuss and bother and denials on both sides, they Pinocchio trying hard to be a real boy.Pity about the Caprica series. Perhaps it did not have enough razalmahtazal for the channel. I remain skeptical about that… Moore said Kara was dead and now she’s back. Both can probably accurately say they never lied, per ce, but they were certainly deceptive.  So I am reserving judgment on the nature of the return of Starbuck and the others being Cylons. For one thing, people have known Tigh has been around for years and years.Though if Tigh is indeed a Cylon, I am betting the Battlestar Potempkin that William Adama is the last of the Final Five.</blockquote>
