You'd think that it being the be all and end all of mankind that they work on cloaking their mapping technology - but what do I know, I can't even figure out the GPS... Gotta love Battlestar.

Buffy sort of lost its luster to me after Angel left, Willow turned gay, and useless Dawn came on the show, but Angel was typically pretty good.

I'm going to go ahead and risk the nerd alert sirens going off on me but I have to point this out. In the Battlestar Galactica pilot episode (I think it was part of a mini series before the regular seasons) they explained the low tech parts of the ship. All critical and strategic functions of the ship, like communications, where they plan on moving the fighters and where they are going to jump to, specifically do not use computers or networked systems to prevent the Cyclons from being able to use those against them. Hence the wired old school phone lines, dry erase charts, and manual bulkhead doors. Good gods, I'm such a fraking nerd! Damn it, I tried but I can’t resist.

The only good thing about it was getting a laugh out of how stupid it was. The scene where he falls through the water and the dead chief starts talking to him had me laughing my ass off.
