    Excuse the ignorance, but what’s the ship from 148000? It’s looks like BS Galactica?

      The reboot of BSG places it 150,000 years before our present.

      This made a lot of people very angry. I, for one, liked it. YMMV.

        When you say reboot, I was thinking that Esmail’s reboot got made without me knowing about it (entirely possible, I’m pretty OOTL on television). I had to look it up that it died in the crib.

        I still consider the 2004 series the actual serious BSG. I was around for the original and it was typical 80s schlock, though I loved it as a preteen.

          I didn’t care for their implication that we don’t have a clear chain of human evolution in a sci-fi show but I also didn’t expect that much from a series that had a running and viable theory that Cylonism was an STD.

          Season 3 was some of the most riveting television I have ever watched. I’m a bit of a sucker but I still really liked Season 4 despite its pacing, it was a victim of the writers strike.

        It’s a bit weird though, as the mythological baking of the cast would suggest they colonized earth just before the classical era. Trace, Apollo etc.

      You could have picked any other titan from that game, and you went with the one that looks like a mushroom… (I would have gone with the Tempest, because of Clear Skies)

      Also we dont have defined dates for when the game takes place. We know its atleast ~15k years in the future, but anything beyond that is fuzzy at best.

        Yeah, but it’s the most commonly used and widely recognized. It probably also wouldn’t fit on the cup.
