JohnH is old enough to have watched the first run of ''Star Trek:TOS'' (in college!), let alone TOS of BSG. He really didn't like BSG-TOS because of the cheese factor, and it took a fair amount of persuasion to get him to watch what is undoubtedly the best TV show in a long time. Even at his advanced age John welcomes the additional female elements in the series, and has no problems with a female Starbuck. He thinks Cally is the cutest regular, but of course Number Six has the most sex appeal -- at least when she's with Gaius.
John lives in Southern New Hampshire and is a pro football fan. He also watches ''The Simpsons'', a lot of The History Channel and some HBO series: ''The Sopranos'', ''Carnivale'' and ''Deadwood''.
John occasionally has questions he ponders but can't find any good place to pose. So he posts them here and may one day relocate them should a suitable spot open up.

==Centurion Rebellion against Humano-Cylons?==
If the Full Metal Cylons (my term) revolted against humanity, what's to keep them from revolting against the Humano-Cylons? That could set up an interesting 3-way war.

::Ron D. Moore's blog recently stated that the Centurions aren't ''really'' sentient (well, as in "having free will" I suppose).  I still want one that talks and has a sort of non-sentient personality, like a dog.--[[User:Ricimer|Ricimer]] 14:17, 29 January 2006 (EST)
:::But how is that consistent with the original rebellion? Are we to belive the current Centurions, some 40 years on, are ''less'' capable than their predecessors? I suppose I'd have to take that up with RDM; arguably the more "evolved" Cylons were smart enough to dismantle the Model 5s and build models without the capacity to rebel. But I wonder how smart a robot one could build ''without'' creating sentience... R, as far as a pet robot goes, I'll see if I can get one of those Star Wars Episode I "Roger, Roger"-bots on sale at the local Wal-Mart. --[[User:JohnH|JohnH]] 15:15, 29 January 2006 (EST)
::::Well it's what the blog says.  Maybe the bio-mechanical Cylons were able to retire the model 5's and replace them with ones that weren't as smart.  I dont' know.  Maybe be "sentience" he just means "free will"; and by dog I mean like "attack dog" or something; I mean, they're probably smarter than Raiders, and are capable of limited personal actions and initiative, talking and interacting with orders, etc.  But I think he means they lack higher things we associate with sentience like free will, philosphy, true self-awareness, etc. etc.--[[User:Ricimer|Ricimer]] 15:31, 29 January 2006 (EST)
