BSG did pretty good with the space combat. At least the capital ships had robust AA defenses, missiles were widely used, the flight characteristics of the fighters were somewhat realistic.

Always kind of bugged me that the Galactica could take nuke hits like she did, but compared to Star Wars or Star Trek, BSG was high realism :P

Pretty sure cool nerds is an oxymoron.  And I've met some of the people that are trying to pass themselves off as such.  I promise you that they are at least one of those two words.  And not the one associated with cold.

That's ok.  I'm pretty immune to most of it.  The only thing that sets me off that way is what they had to do to LotR to get in on the big screen.

Pretty sure there can be cool nerds just like there can be 'jumbo shrimp' and 'living dead'. A Miniature Giant Space Hamster told me it was so.  :coolsmiley:

On the other hand, AngryJoe is willing to retract some of his criticisms after a 2nd and 3rd viewing.

(And with lots of help from the extended canon.)

Turns out if you read enough extended content, the movie makes a little more sense  ::)
