The Sci-fi Channel Musings

[themostepotente]

I got roped into watching the Sci-fi channel last night...

Battlestar Galactica has not improved. Somebody please tell me what the FUCK is up with the word 'frack?' I thought I was going to piss my pants I was laughing so hard. Who writes the fucking dialogue for this show? And OMG -- Michelle Forbes? I loved her when she was Ensign Ro Laren on ST:NG, and now this? Ugh :P

I've always liked Stargate. If I wasn't so involved in Lost, I may actually have given SG:A a go. Not to write fic or anything. Just to watch. But to you SG:A fans -- can any of you rec me any NC-17 Wraith fics?

--P

The thing with frak, much like "frell" on Farscape, is a way of being able to say fuck without getting censored. And, as others have noted, a homage to the original.

So yeah, I won't disagree that it's an insanely dumb word and I wish people could say fuck on TV without getting all up in a tizzy about it, but that's really the purpose of inventing silly words such as those. It's also a nice "screw you!" to censors because it's so obvious what the word means but because it doesn't have the same letters and pronunciation, it's okay, which basically pokes fun at the ratings system.

Sci-fi's a cable channel. Don't understand why they can't say 'fuck.'
