Any World (That I'm Welcome To)

We all have those little things which jerk us out of a book or movie, yelling, "But it doesn't work like that!" It's all the more frustrating because while sometimes the plot absolutely relies on it working wrong, other times the story could probably be improved with a little realism. Take a couple of my pet peeves, for example:

1) Those easy-escape duct systems

2) Those magic lighter-activated fire sprinklers

What are your pet peeves, and how would you change them while keeping the drama?

Soooo... there's only three episodes left, and I do not see how they can possibly wrap this up satisfactorily. Especially if we spend 30% of the time watching Adama wander around drunk staring at the cracks in the ceiling. Or watching Kara listen to some guy play the piano.

Speaking of which, where did they get a piano? Was it just taking up valuable space which could house an entire family until someone said, "Hey, let's donate it to the bar!" or what? Why did they not throw it out the airlock ages ago?

And of course we still don't know where they're getting all the booze. They've finally mentioned that they synthesize coffee out of algae (and are they growing algae now or did they scoop up a year's supply of the stuff?), but we don't know about the alcohol. Just that they never run out. Ever. Or even run low.

During the last episode, my dad asked, "So, when they're at the bar, what do they use to pay?" I told him we have no frakking idea. Zarek mentioned that the economy makes no sense all the way back in Colonial Day, yet they go right on using paper money at least to Black Market and probably still.

Honestly, that bar is more trouble than it's worth.

I also still want to know where Lee is getting all these nicely-tailored suits. Add Roslin's athletic wear to the list, too.

( Also, the plot and characters are not making sense. )
