To avoid censorship

Back when it was first used, it was censorship. Now, it's just part of the universe. But it also works for censorship considering how dark the universe is.

I think of it as a different culture. They are from a different part of the universe. They started saying Frak instead of Fuck for what ever reason.
I wish there wasn't so much supernatural bullshit in this show. Still one of my favourites though.

Alrighty, Loving the series so far. I'm not sure if I should feel sorry for [sp]Chief and that other dude since sharon is a cylon, don't respond with any spoilers please. I'm only at the 15th episode of season 2[/sp]
I guess I'll post this here. I made this after I finished the series and its just been sitting on my computer. I told myself "hell, why not just upload it to youtube." Spoilers if you haven't finished the show.

I love making music videos, no matter how crappy they can be. Making them just releases stress or something.
Nicely done hobo.

Well thats fucking excellent. I just finished the series recently so seeing some of those amazing scenes gave me goosebumps. Great job.
Apparently Blood and Chrome might be a Internet Series now. This doesn't sound like it could be good for the series.

Thanks guys :smile: Thumbs up if you can!
I think it's dumb of the FCC not to censor "frak." It means the exact same thing and is used in the exact same way as "fuck." It's not the meaning or usage of the word that's bad, it's that that particular sequence of letters is extremely forbidden

Why the fuck would you want it censored in the first place?
If it was not for frak, this show would only have small bits of humor. Also is BS:BC is not a tv series, im abandoning sci-fi channel

Isn't Syfy a cable channel and therefore exempt from FCC jurisdiction? Not too sure about that, but if it is it's most likely because Syfy is a horrible, horrible channel that wants to show its only good program all day and every day without fear of reprisal from people who've seen the characters swearing.

No, HBO and stuff like that don't have to go by the FCC (I believe), but stuff like SyFy and Comedy Central do. HBO is a premium channel, SyFy is not, that could be the difference.
Up there as one of the best TV shows ever made for me, every character brings something different to each episode and a different point of view. I especially enjoy Baltar centric story elements.

You misunderstood me, I don't want it censored. I just find it stupid that it's the letters F U C K in that order that are forbidden and unholy, not the meaning or anything like that
Why are you guys all getting your knickers in a not over the usage of Frak instead of Fuck
You probably haven't watched the original (superior) series though.
They changed and ruined so much stuff in the new one and Frak was about the only they could keep in from the original.

Oh we found Earth! And it's 1970! Let's go down there and party while fending off space nazis!
Yes superior original (well, that's what I got from it anyways)
Original Series was too similar to Star Wars (which is coincidentally the main reason of it's popularity at the time) and awfully cheesy, while the re-imagined series had it's flaws, it was superior in just about every aspect.

So superior. I hated how the new series actually had depth and character development.

The Mini Series had kid named Boxy... He was only in the Mini series though.
The very first Cylons/Base stars in the New series continuity were based off the TOS cylons. Plus the Vipers.
A lot more then just 'Frak'

Thank god for that. I hate obnoxious civilian characters in militaristic movies and TV, and luckily BSG avoided that almost completely.
New trailer for the Blood & Chrome prequel, looks pretty frakkin sweet.

No youtube links to be found yet because NBC are still a bunch of fascist fucks.

I really hope it lives up to Battlestar Galactica. It could be really good, but it also could be a huge train wreck.
Can't say it's that hard to live up to BSG since the show declined in quality pretty substantially in the second half of season 3.
you mean when it got good because it stopped being a bunch of disconnected filler?
also that trailer hanger bay annoys me. jj abrams lighting and shit. maybe its also that bsg has a set for the bay and that looks cg.
