Worst product placement ever (& major BSG spoiler)

That's NOT OK

(and don't watch if you haven't watched the 4x11 "Sometimes a Great Notion" episode of Battlestar Galactica... and care).
Paybacksays...

...man, and I thought I was the only one who didn't like that character. Damn. That's cold.


Now, having watched the episode, and understanding it, and given what other "revelations" in season openers for BSG have done in subsequent episodes, I do hereby wonder who the final Cylon will turn out to be as the revelations in this episode I fully expect are complete BS...

logged in after a million years just to upsift it
it is the word 'awsome' in its purest form.

lyrics for the song:
I just want to celebrate another day of livin'
I just want to celebrate another day of life [end of commercial]
I put my faith in the people
But the people let me down
So I turned the other way

(minor) SPOILER ALERT!

Didn't you take a look at the clues posted on SciFi's youwillknowthetruth.com? The one outed by Thigh as the final Cylon really is the final one - I (along with thousands of fans) deduced it by following the clues a couple of days before the 11th episode aired.

I was just saying that BSG is well known for fraking with your head. Like the 13th tribe.

It took me a while to figure out what the joke was because I was looking for product placement and when the commercial came on, I thought it must have been the wrong video playing. Product placement is a company gets their product used in a program, a commercial advertisement is when the program cuts and the whole transmission, video and audio, is about a product.

For terrible product placement, just look at the phone usage in the last 2 Bond films. Every time they appear, all immersion disappears because the Sony executives want to remind me that their phones have GPS mapping and cameras and all kinds of cool stuff. Thanks guys.

You're right... but it's an excellent way of confusing people and then BOOM, headshot.

Premium Plus head shot...

I just copied the title from the youtube original and added the spoiler warning. if you don't know the jargon meaning, "product placement" is literally correct; But I suppose I could have called it "worst plot vis-a-vis advertisement juxtaposition (& spoiler)".

What I want to know is why the fucking cripple was the second one there. It's not like he was fast - at all.

And here's something that's irritating: when movies and shows show brain matter splurting all over a wall, the always seem to forget that in order to make a hole for the matter to fly through, you need a bullet ripping out the other side. My favorite is when the nasty splatters all over a window and yet there's no breaking glass.

OK, So I just watched this episode... I had avoided this sift because I didn't want the spoiler (man, thank god I did that)... but while I was watching the show I was waiting for some tacky produt placement... and of course, none came.

So, yeah, again, not product placement, an ad.

But I laughed out loud when it got to the ad, really, that was supremely bad timing!

Oh, and this particular part of the episode, bloody brilliant, and didn't see it coming, nicely done, nicely done.

Medic? What good'll a medic do?


For that 1:100 chance that she isn't dead, you want a medic there FAST. It is possible (at least with current weapons) to shoot yourself in the head and not die. Very, very unlikely in this case but it could be possible. Besides, the person calling might not know the extent of the incident.

It's better to call a medic needlessly than not call a medic who could have helped, unless the medics are busy.
