Clearly, it’s a Western
I just figured out why I’m the only fan on the East Coast who doesn’t watch Galactica. According to Wired magazine:
Even Battlestar Galactica, the flagship show of (hello!) the Sci Fi Channel, keeps a distance [from being identified as SF]. “It’s fleshed-out reality,” explains executive producer Ronald D. Moore in the sci-fi mag SFX. “It’s not in the science-fiction genre.”
Ahh, I get it. I was expecting Galactica to be science-fiction. Silly me.
And now, a multiple-choice question: You are behind another vehicle in a 55-mile-per-hour zone. For the last 5 minutes, the driver has moved no faster than 30 MPH. You’re running a little late, and you’d like to drive the speed limit. Do you:
A) Flash your headlights at the driver ahead;
B) Tailgate the other vehicle closely, hoping the driver will get the hint;
C) Attempt to pass the other vehicle, which will result in their sudden discovery of their gas pedal and acceleration to 70 or 80 MPH rather than allowing you to pass.
The answer in Hampton Roads is, of course, C.
