"Walking around like regular people. They don't see each other. They only see what they want to see."

CAG





First time I have watched this work since I watched it during the television premiere in December 2003.

"My network," indeed. What did I predict during that conversation on 6/30/2004? The gravity of failed star collapsing onto itself?










2003 television miniseries "Battlestar Galactica" DVD movie:

02:06:23


Captain Lee "Apollo" Adama - Colonial Fleet Viper pilot: Hey.

Lieutenant Kara "Starbuck" Thrace - Colonial Fleet Battlestar Galactica Viper pilot: I thought you were dead.

Captain Lee "Apollo" Adama - Colonial Fleet Viper pilot: Well, I thought you were in hack.

Lieutenant Kara "Starbuck" Thrace - Colonial Fleet Battlestar Galactica Viper pilot: It's - It's good to be wrong.

Captain Lee "Apollo" Adama - Colonial Fleet Viper pilot: Well, you - you should be used to it by now.

Influence





Recently I have been comptemplating why the beings that are not human but that are more advanced than humans have been making life difficult for me. The issue, as has lingered in my mind for a while, is that they want to ensure I understand the decision before I make the decision. Perhaps that is not the precise description of the issue but maybe it is. After all, they influence my thoughts. So anyway, they cannot simply take for granted that just because I am willing to accept what they ask of me that I can understand what they ask of me.

They really are more advanced than humans. Perhaps too advanced. But then as I make that observation, in the sense that because I suffer only because they make me suffer because of their advanced intelligence over humans, I think that they could simply kill off all of us and solve that problem in a heartbeat.

CHAPTER 4


The key to curing it is in the human genome. And my company is going to find that key! Aging is the same thing. Salk's team at La Jolla found the kill-me gene more than fifteen years ago. If we can find a way to turn it off, then human immortality can be real. Madam - does the idea of living forever in a body of twenty-five years' maturity appeal to you?"

"But what about overcrowding?" The congresswoman's objection was somewhat quieter than her first. It was too vast a thought, too surprisingly posed, to allow an immediate objection.

"One thing at a time. The invention of DDT killed off huge quantities of disease-bearing insects, and that increased populations all over the world, didn't it? Okay, we are a little more crowded now, but who wants to bring the anopheles mosquito back? Is malaria a reasonable method of population control? Nobody here wants to bring war back, right? We used to use that, too, to control populations. We got over it, didn't we? Hell, controlling populations is no big deal. It's called birth control, and the advanced countries have already learned how to do it, and the backward countries can, too, if they have a good reason for doing so. It might take a generation or so," John Brightling mused, "but is there anyone here who would not want to be twenty-five again-with all the things we've learned along the way, of course. It damned well appeals to me!" he went on with a warm smile. With sky-high salaries and promises of stock options, his company had assembled an incredible team of talent to look at that particular gene. The profits that would accrue from its control could hardly be estimated, and the U.S. patent was good for seventeen years! Human immortality, the new Holy Grail for the medical community-and for the first time it was something for serious investigation, not a topic of pulp science-fiction stories.

"You think you can do it?" another congresswoman this one from San Francisco-asked. Women of all sorts found themselves drawn to this man. Money, power, good looks, and good manners made it inevitable.

John Brightling smiled broadly. "Ask me in five years. We know the gene. We need to learn how to turn it off. There's a whole lot of basic science in there we have to uncover, and along the way we hope to discover a lot of very useful things. It's like setting off with Magellan. We aren't sure what we're going to find, but we know it'll all be interesting." No one pointed out that Magellan hadn't made it home from that particular trip.

Cavil: Your children are dying, Ellen, and you won't lift a finger to save us? Why? Out of spite? Because I refuse to kneel to your orthodoxy? [ to Boomer: ] Now you finally see the truth about your Final Five.

Boomer: Just tell us. Tell us about Resurrection.
