BSG question

Can anyone explain to me why the cylons refer to themselves as the cylon while the humans call them the cylons? Or am I just hearing this wrong?

I totally don't mind you and I even get you. It's a discussion Ralf and I had before. I'm not even partially as smart as you are but read a book or two about physics and space too. Honestly, such things bother me a lot. It may be small things but would be very easy to take into account. *sigh* But maybe exploding people wouldn't be the hit for a television show. *lol*

Have fun with the rest of season three! I fondly remember the times when I watched one ep after the other. *g*

Nowadays they only bother me when the episode is centered around something that is physically impossible like a certain season three episode.

I even understand why they choose to have sound in space. Just imagine big frakking special effect scenes in space, ships crashing into each other or exploding, and you hear nothing. To the normal viewer, even to the physicists among us, that would be immensely jarring. Just because we know there's no sound in space doesn't mean we'd deal well with being faced with reality on an action/sci-fi TV show.

Can't you imagine it? The viewer taking his/her remote control setting it on the highest setting, doubting his/her ears and then the next scene? *giggles*

Can I imagine it? Easily, m'dear. And I'd be the devil on their shoulder, cackling madly when it happened. :D

*loooool* I'd voluntarily get the earplugs for us. No need to ruin our ears as well. *g*
