**snippity doo-dah**

"Thanks for dressing up!"

An audience member was less than impressed with Richard Hatch's worn-out, sleeves-cut-off-to-show-nice-arms T-shirt and made sure the Battlestar Galactica (past and present) actor knew it.

The session, which was billed as a "provocative discussion of Battlestar new and classic" wasn't quite that. Hatch — not to be confused with the Survivor champ — had brought along Battlestar science consultant Kevin Grazer and Bear McCreary, the young Battlestar composer, and showed a 20-minute-long doc on the making of the music, followed by a 10-minute gag reel.

There was very little time left for any possible fights between old-school Battlestar fans and those preferring the new show. The most provocative thing said was when someone asked Grazer to give an example of bad science on television and the simple answer was: "watch an episode of Stargate."

I bet the execs at SciFi are just SOOOOO thrilled at one of their shows slamming another of their shows, and hey, it gets in the press too.

[Jonzey]

Wow, I like BSG even less now, and I didn't think that was possible.

[the fifth man]

I am way offended by that. What a jack-***!

Sure isn't the brightest bulb. After all, Scifi.com cuts HIS paycheck.

It it were up to me, that paycheck would have just gotten slashed.

[PG15]

A**hole.

[Trek_Girl42]

Wow.....words appropriate for the forum can't quite describe.....

I'm sure they are HUGELY thrilled.

After the TERRIBLE primere ratings if that comment get 10 more people to watch the shows then Sci-fi will be happy.

[Agent_Dark]

Uhh, maybe people are over-reacting? Stargate has never claimed to be spot on about the science. It's never claimed to be spot on about the mythology etc either.

I thought it was funny...

[PG15]

But why make the jab in the first place? Even if he picked Stargate, the best he could do was to explain it.

Face it, the guy's an a**hole.

[Agent_Dark]

Maybe because joke != jab?

[PG15]

Doesn't make him any less of an a-hole.

[ussrelativity]

Safe word that can describe this:

*bleep*

I'll just leave it there.

The thing is that this guy is, whether as a joke or not, slamming a sister show on Scifi. The folks at the top shouldn't be happy that someone from BSG is slamming SG.

And as someone pointed out somewehre else, BSG picking on anybody about science is a joke. After all, their Cylons look like scantily clad centerfold models.
