BSG - politics and police

Over at TWOP there was some discussion in the politics thread about the Quorum of Twelve and how it works, since we get a glimpse of it in "Ties that Bind." Now, keeping in mind that I used to study comparative politics so therefore what is interesting to me is probably tl;dr for many, I have many thoughts to share. *g*

I've long believed that Roslin and Co need to let go of this idea that she's more than a mayor. So many of their institutions from the old big Colonies are useless because 40,000-ish people is a town, not a country.

Except when it is one. Because today I had the thought that, hey, there's a real Earth country with a small population, let's see what they do. (minor spoilers for "Ties that Bind") ( So I looked up the principality of Monaco )

And I still haven't shared the REST of my thoughts on Ties that Bind.

Be afraid. Be very afraid. ;)

Stargate Continuum

Gateworld.net has posted the Continuum Teaser Trailer.

WOOT!

AND it's going to be released in Blu-Ray HD. Why, I wouldn't possibly want spaceship porn, and three of my t.v. boyfriends in high-def -- HOW SILLY!!! I'm totally buying it, y'all.

Under the cut is a screengrab I made from the trailer. It's a bit enlarged and blurry, sorry 'bout that, but still awesome.

( WHY IS HE SO HOT? )
