I’m liking Helo more and more as time goes on–he makes for good stories. I like his combination of strongly held beliefs and drive to action. He does what he feels that he needs to do and then deals with the consequences–and the consequences often leave him screwed.

The first time we see him, he decides to stay on the planet that is being nuked because he believes that humanity will have a better chance at surviving if they have Baltar’s big brain with them.

Then he has to deal with the Cylons messing with him while he runs around Caprica.

Then he has to deal with Sharon, who has him completely out-classed.

Currently he’s screwed because he has to think about the consequences of his actions for others, instead of just for himself. I think that might be part of why he tried a cunning plan with the virus-lons instead of just shooting them and then walking himself into the brig. He’s got the internal conflict of moral qualms and need to be around to raise Hera vs. his devotion to the service and loyalty to Adama. Instead of just acting, he had to plot a cunning course of action–not his strong suit.

Y’know. If I bought a book called “Wild, Wild West,” I’d be expecting something COMPLETELY different!

#63

i made this a while ago…

#64

…hmmm - can Snow White the porno be far behiond. (C’mon, we all know Bashful was really a freak) :smiley:

#65

If there’s a two hour long Alice in Wonderland musical porno I’m fairly certain there’s already a Snow White one

Oh, I am sure this conversation can be applied to most titles. I was walking along the streets of NYC just yesterday and saw a poster for Pulp Fiction in a store window that caught my eye because there was something wrong about it. I stopped, looked and immediately realized that it wasn’t Uma Thurman, but some other woman lying on the bed in the same classic pose, same color hair and hair cut, same overall design.

Hmm.

Then I looked up and saw the name of the movie was, “Pulp Friction” and suddenly it all became clear, especially when I took in what else was in the store window.

This train of thought begs the question: Is there a Battlestar Galactica themed porno and if there isn’t what should it be called?

Battlestar Galicktica?

#68

Battlestar…of Love?

#69

Given previous themes of this Forum:

Boobiestar Galactica seems appropriate (or not, maybe)…

#70

“Boom Frakka Pow Pow”?

#71

Of course. We need our boob scene!

Genius. “Ma’am…I’m here to check you Viper tube” <boomfrakkapowpow-boomfrakkapow-boomfrakkapowpow-boomfrakkapow>

#72

What about a Mass Effect themed porno?

#73

Wow. As usual, it only takes 1 off-hand comment and everything spirals out of control! :wink:

#74

Yup. We’re like the Hindenburg, just waiting for a spark.:smiley:

#75

Apparently, “Wild, Wild West” WAS something completely different, hehe.

I’m voting for this one.

#76

Oh my, “Wild Wild West” did nothing but trigger very innocent thoughts in my mind:

#77

The “adult spoof” was released in 1992 and was called “Battlestar Orgasmica”.

According to IMDB, the plot keywords? Hardcore/sex. Well, sure.

Oh, and one of the actors was Cal Jammer. Gotta love porn names.

#78

Oh yeah I know. I bought this a while back. My wife was an Anne Rice ‘Lestat’ fan and I thought it would be a good birthday gift. She was 18 at the time and said she couldn’t read it without getting all hot and bothered. Not a good thing when you’re still living at home. I returned it and bought her a necklace instead.

#79

I suspect this book series is actually responsible for a few births that I know of (maybe even partially responsible for the little Justice League fan in the room…)

#80

I need your Beaker to visit my garden.

that sounds so dirty after the “word porn” digression.
