[[Image:Frak party.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The ''Galactica'' crew celebrate the season finale with a frak party of their very own including [[Cylon Curry|food]] and [[Cylon Shooter|drinks]].]]
A '''Frak party''' is the term given by fans and the crew of the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|re-imagined "Battlestar Galactica"]] for organized parties at homes or special events to watch the episodes of the Re-imagined Series. Originally conceived by the website [http://www.frakparty.com/ FrakParty.com] their term has since grown into common usage by fans and the crew alike. [[Ron Moore]] has also been known to turn up to a few of the events organised himself.


: ''For other uses of the word "frak," see: [[Frak (disambiguation)]].''
The strangely-chosen name for the parties may be more related to the state of mind that fans may have after watching the tumultuous events in an episode ("What the [[frak]]!?") than any kind of sexual connotation.

A '''Frak party''' is an organized party, held in homes or at special events, centered around episode screenings of the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Re-imagined ''Battlestar Galactica'']], particularly season premieres.
 
Originally conceived by the eponymous website [http://www.frakparty.com FrakParty.com], the term has since come into common use by fans and production crew alike. [[Ron Moore]] himself has been known to turn up at some of these parties.
 
The colorfully-chosen name could refer to the state of mind fans might have after watching tumultuous events in an episode (as in "What the [[frak]]!?"), and has no connection to the word's sexual connotation.

#Don't go walking in and making a ruckus during the very first scene! If you are going to show up late, you'll just have to abort mission and watch at home in miserable isolation. If you really can't stomach that, then maybe peek in the window, try to wait for a commercial break and enter then.
