Hi all,
I’ve been guilty of babbling about BSG on the termintorfiles forum. So, to be fair, I’m going to babble a bit on Terminator.
There are in fact, many similarities between the two shows, namely:
[ul]
[li]Both shows are about humans creating machines that become self aware
[/li][li]On BSG, Cavil lobotomises the Raiders. In T2 (based on the novelization), Skynet flips a switch on its’ terminators to prevent them from being self-aware. (I think you’d get to see it on the Director’s cut of T2.)
[/li][li]In BSG universe, the religions focus on the cylic nature of time. In terminator, it’s time travel. and shrodinger’s cat.
[/li][/ul]
I’ve picked up on this catchphrase from the Skynext podcast (the gentlemen who host the show are from the south, and they sound like they’re saying “skynecks”. no pun intended ~_~) and I think we BSGeeks should help spread it around too - Embrace the Paradox.
