Fine, #5 can be nekkid so long as we get to see #4 nekkid, too.
Come to think of it, I think we have seen as much of Jamie Bamber as we have of Tricia Helfer.

Jeez, Dave. Pretty much phoning 'em in, nowadays, aren't we?

Couple of funny bits, but overall very disappointing. Maybe that's why the actors' deliveries were so bad: they knew the material wasn't funny.

This doesn't even compare to the Top 10 list of Words That Sound Cool When Spoken By James Earl Jones.

Battlestar Galactica is a fantastic show with fantastic actors and fantastic writers.

The Late Show is a craptastic show with a craptastic host and craptastic writers.

Old DL really has lost it. Did his writers retire during the writers strike and he had to go out and get 5 year olds?

@Darrone:
That would have been the funniest of the list.

Sad the writers didn't think of it.

Starbuck's should have been...

Because it's the only fraking show where we get to say Frack as much as we want and no fraking censors frak with with us

for any BSG fans out there, this was funny.
yet it was sad too.
that we are BSG fans.

was that a haiku?

seriously tho, i think that 'starbuck' had the perfect line, it was truly how her character would react. also funny to hear jamie with his britt accent.

@AhnyerKeester: Better than Hugh Laurie's annoying nasal House too.

The thing that has always bothered me about House is that it's the same accent that Hugh Laurie used to use when he was mocking Americans on "A Bit of Fry & Laurie".

I've never been able to get past Hugh Laurie's previous work on Blackadder and Jeeves and Wooster to believe him in a serious role anyway.

The one thing that bugs me about BSG is that they are even lower-tech than we are, except for their ships and the Cylons. I think they use 3-Mu Scotch Tape in Laura Roselin's tape dispenser, and I think she gets her glasses from Lensfrackers. Amazing coincidences!

Aside from budgetary concerns, I think this is what makes shows like BSG click with a larger audience - they're relatable. They take place in a far-away galaxy with technology we can't even dream of.... and yet their day to day things are very similar to ours.

Besides, this is the kind of thing you really can't think about too much, just like you can't think about the fact that we have dozens (if not hundreds?) of languages on planet Earth and yet all 12 colonies in the BSG world speak English (or at the very least the same language).

darex — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 11:06:56 EDT

I like when Jamie Bamber's accent collapsed.

He's one of the best Brit actors at doing an "American Accent". He's far superior to John Barrowman (well, both his accents are less than convincing ;-)).

He has no "tells" that I've managed to detect.

bobman1235 — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 11:02:35 EDT

Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) was kinda funny; not so much the joke, but she has decent delivery.

Also, Letterman is HUGELY overrated.

They were on Letterman...so that means they are all here in NYC! I have to find them. Did that sound stalkerish?

Interesting it was on Letterman's show, which is a CBS show, since the SciFi channel is an NBC subsidiary.

I love battlestar and other than #5, it really wasn't funny. Letterman's good for 1 laugh an episode, even when he has an entire hit shows cast backing him up. Why couldn't starbuck have done a joke like "You'll find out my secret, I used to be a dude."
