    Well, because it's not clearly awful, obviously.

    Like I said, I rather liked it, given the dark, hopeless nature of the tale and the fact that cyclical time is something of a departure from what we normally see.

    Exactly. Why do you have trouble understanding why this appeals to me?

    Maybe that's what it wants?

    Face it - nuclear Armageddon looks cool. Perhaps perpetual cycles of nuclear annihilation is God's solution to not having TV to watch.

I hated the implication that the Eve creature we're all apparently descended from was the cylon hybrid. I hated that they found humans living on that world already, that they could breed with them, that we are their mixed descendants. I hate that they destroyed all their advanced technology and joined the savages.

    Well said.

    Seriously? That was unexpected.

    What, you're channeling Nessus now.
    The Rules
    Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
    Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
    Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)
