[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] I think in most sci-fi shows engineer == maintenance technician/wrench monkey. Because in the future all mechanically inclined individuals will also be gifted designers and engineers (and vice-versa). (*cough*, not to mention Tom Paris, *cough*) But you're right. I should have said "mechanic." The Delta Fly--excuse me, Laura, is a hotrod. Guardian 2K: My point was that the show is being inconsistent in its application of networks and viruses. A major plot point established in the 4-hour Miniseries series was that Galactica's antiquated, non-networked, all manual systems (that made Lee Adama land hands-on) are precisely what saved it from the fate of the rest of the fleet. And in subsequent attacks, one might assume the Cylons have continued to try using this weapon to no effect. So in one episode for a little over ten minutes Galactica sets up an ad-hoc network which is magically almost instantly infiltrated (somehow). And in this episode we have that same virus propogating itself across a bunch of intertied computer systems (which I would term a network) thereby placing the ship in dire jeopardy. So, yeah. Networks. [/QB][/QUOTE]
