Bail out?

Are you afraid of getting in an argument with Tim?

Perhaps, but how does it get into space?  Sure, you can have life in space, but complex life would be a little difficult.

No idea.  I was trying to come up with that was Amoebaish that could be larger then a 1/10th of a millimeter.  Jelly fish aren't really much like amoebas but they kind a look like them.  Single cell organisms don't really scale up that well.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Is that supposed to be Hayden Pantyhead?  She's weird-looking.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

And that ain't even a real sniper weapon.
That's an upgraded M14 with a M3A sniperscope.
Can't tell if the barrel is NM (national match)

Sucks.
How would your battlestar galactica look then?

I was clearly riffing on Brain's question about the map, dufus.
And I clearly chose to ignore that.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Not so clearly.

Biotechnology?  Played out.
Well the Cylons are a machine race, so the Aliens need to be distinctive to them and the Humans.
You can create distinctive aliens without having weird-ass technology bases.  Look at Star Trek.
I'm thinking they'd be Reptillian as a shoutout to the Cylon's creators in the original series.
OK, so now you have a physical look, but what makes them interesting?
I'd have to think on it more. It seems to me that making the enemy "interesting" often leads to villain decay. Just look what happened to the Borg.

The enemy should remain horrifying, inscrutable and unstoppable.

The aliens were distinguished by having different foreheads.  Not gonna be the model for a creative showrunner these days.

Unfortunately.  Roddenberry had the right idea that the actors' faces shouldn't be obscurd--Star Trek aliens might not be particularly interesting looking, but the actors playing them were actually able to do more than just voice acting.

I was thinking more in terms of their personalities.  The Klingons, for example.
I like the Klingons in the original series. They were evil and pragmatic.  By the Next Generation it was all about HONOR RAWR WARRIORS. Boring crap. 
PDH!
