Battlestar Galactica is almost true
Check out this "almost true" news post about BSG:
Those events, previously thought to be just a fabricated storyline for the show, are actually real events. The show was actually created by a few people from a scout ship to help prepare us for the fleet’s arrival. There was a previous Battlestar Galactica television show, which was also meant to prepare us, but the fleet’s arrival had to be delayed due to the Cylon’s finding their trail.
So... in case you all were wondering... yes... BSG is real... this is the Matrix... and there is a pot of gold at the end of the Rainbow! YAY!




Real events? Nah... not really.
I mean... I remember DS9, and the one thing I loved about that is that it took history and current events into consideration, and it was scary for a time, cause with 9/11... and the short campaign in palestine there after, it was kinda like DS9 predicted the future. But history has a habit of repeating it's self, so... yeah.
I always kinda roll my eyes at people who say that ron moore's writings are based on real world events.
but still... ah ds9. I loved the bajorians(sp)... cause they were basically THE intergalactic palestinians.

Well, some plot events are *inspired* by real events, but every writer draws from personal experience or history at some point.
But this.... this sounds like it's taken from the literature of a new sect of the Branch Dividians who missed the spaceship that was hiding in the Hale-Bopp Comet. Scary.
