I believe you and I are in the age group aren't we? I only say that because one of the things I remember when I was younger, was having "endless" discussions with my friends about what all the different mentions of time REALLY were in Battlestar Galactica. The FIRST Battlestar Gallactica, anyway. Remember when you were that age and could argue about silly stuff like that all day long? Oh wait. That really hasn't changed all that much now, has it? Only instead of cheesy sci-fi TV shows, we now argue about fantasy football and sports. LOL! :-) -Chris Tovias… I believe you and I are in the age group aren’t we?

I honestly wouldn't have picked up on the centar/centon difference if not for having watched BSG reruns from 1978 on Hulu all weekend.

Thanks for taking the time to add a comment to today's strip. All of the Battlestar Galactica time references were based on this web site I found last night: http://www.sf-worlds.com/galactica/time-chronology.html But the truth is, I didn't read much more then the first two paragraphs (that's a lot of reading!) and based a lot of it also on what I remember from the OLD 70's show too. :-) Now, what I'm really disappointed about is that only one person so far has pointed out the error in IG-88's dialog since a "parsec" is supposed to be a distance in space. But since I also couldn't find any time references in Star Wars, the only thing I could remember was how fast the Falcon was. But I chalk that one up to evidence of how badly all that STP Fuel Injection Cleaner has destroyed IG-88's memory chips. ;-) -Chris Hey John and Tovias…

I'm sure no one else gives a frak, but I've been watching this felgercarb online for a couple sectars now and it works its way into your head if you not careful.
