battlestar galactica

[richardfinch]

i have 2 questions on the new battlestar galactica

1) when the breaks happen it shows a badge / emblem that says BSG75 - why 75? i think i remember a bit about it from the pilot, but not exactly what, and amnow very curious as to what the 75 is for

2) what does "frack" mean, i assume its a swear word, but what does it translate to? and does anyone know why they seem to have made up a brand new word

thanks

frack means the same as our equivalent if u take out the RA and place U in it. The producers of the show want it less cheesy that the original series and more real life (as far as sci fi can go) where most people swear etc and obviously Networks arent going to allow swearing in a tv show so they replaced the swear words with a universal sci-fi swear word of Frack, Mainly used as a F word but has been used to replace other swear words. It doesnt technically mean anything, just a way of adding real life dialogue to a maturer audience without going too far.

Not sure on the BSG75 but i am assuming the 75 means its the 75th battlestar to be built as it explained very briefly somewhere early on that the other battlestars were wiped out in the attack, and in Series 2 there will be another Battlestar to make an appearance, the "Pegasus"
