Re: 419
Partly that was my point - it was the eighties! Farscape & Red Dwarf did way better and much more fun - if you are going to change words change a shitload of them and really fuck with the censors.
Or better yet slam all the good stuff onto HBO and let them say whatever they want - no pussy footing around - like Deadwood. And how cool would it be to see Rosalyn with a finger up Adama's ass massaging his prostate when he gets in a bad mood - sick or not she would be up for it!
Re: 419
yea... that 'that's my point' seemed to be a bit pointless... original galactica was, as far as i know, the first show on commercial television to subvert language to get away with using expletives... and because they didn't do it the same way as every show that has done it since, they're lame??? riddle me this...

Re: 419
theConundrumm:
what i am saying it was a lame idea two decades after it was cutting edge. And since then TV has changed considerably as audience taste has changed - back then maybe it was great - now it is lame - simple as that - that's my opinion on it.
I mentioned other shows because they have a spin on the idea, freshen it up - like they did with the rest of the BSG.
svada007:
If i am pointless what the hell is he/she/it contributing - at least i have an opinion instead of sychophant jeering everytime theConundrumm makes a comment!
As far as losing faith in discussions threads - maybe if you actually contribute an IDEA or express an OPINION of your OWN you will find they move along - not always in your idea of the right direction.
Back on the original topic of it is was Frak or Fuck - it is my fault i didn't go looking for older threads where the discussion had been had - but when you quickly type something out in the early hours of the morning you don't always have time for in depth research.

SNAP...
and it's my bad in that i'm not even sure if it was this forum that the discussion was had in... my point was more that this is not the first time a 'fuck' has slipped through. I couldn't even begin to speculate when it was... but at a guess it was late s2 or early s3...
and i see your point... to some extent... yes, this is an update of an old series, made fresh and shiny and new for a new audience... but at the same time there is some reverence upheld for the old... and if the characters were inclined to use expletives other than fuck then i would hope they would be a variant... but i don't recall anybody in the galactica universe using any of those other seven words you can't say on tv, so it's a bit of a moot point... and i'm sure john cricton was an avid user of the word fuck before he was shot through that wornhole to the other side of the universe... where they had a different take on our vocab, but that's the other side of the universe, in an alien culture that only somewhat mirrors ours... where as galactica is based on a culture that has grown from what we see and hear every day in our lives as we know them today...
Re: 419
i don't think it's even worth debating... it's clearly fuck...
Re: 419
It's so FRAK!
Re: 419
no, YOU can, I can't
Re: 419
poll...
but...
it's fuck f'r frak's sake...
Re: 419
So, we have three confirmed deaf morons, conundrumm, rogue, and z1rra. Any more, who can't tell a frak from a fuck?
You're a jackass..dumb f*ck can you hear the "u" in there?
Re: 419
Guys STFU about this topic NOW!!!!
for you guyz that cant tell... its frak... if you need more proof i can slow it down for you on cubase or something.
if the line we're looking at is.... "I need this, I need this like another frakkin hole in the head."
the frack if i break it down for you will be like this
fuhhh .... rrackin
the fuhhh part is wht you guyz could be what some people hear clearly because the rackin part does come in fast... but the r sound is definitely there.
Re: 419
Wowsers! Who would believe that a topic like this would raise this much attention and aggression?! Is it because you have this low threshold for angry behavior or don't you have anything else in your lives to take it out on?!
Peace and love people! Adame would yell at you for behaving like this. Maybe it's just misplaced frustration that this is it, today it will all be over? At least then we will have something else to fight about/discuss... :-)
Re: 419
They are just doing the shit stuff in this tv show thats why they think that they might need a filler to coverup the stuff.
Did we really need a filler episode this close to the end?
Very disappointing
