I don't much care. Authors of a science fiction world can make it look and sound any way they want it to so good for them.

I would imagine, in all seriousness, that like The Great Hummer Debate among the creators of the show last year, there was probably some discussion of whether or not "fubar" should be used in the dialogue. It was probably no accident.

that's the one thing that has bugged me about this show, the lack of technological advance. we've got a human society thousands of years more advanced than we are with huge spaceships and the intelligence to create an artificial race, yet they're using all the same stuff we are and even suffer from the same diseases. usually with sci-fi (especially Star Trek) you have to laugh at just how fantasical the technology is, but BSG seems to be the exact opposite. i keep having to just put that out of my mind and ignore it to enjoy the show
