Fraking brilliant
“Frak” was first used in the original (cheesy) Battlestar Galactica TV show created by Glen A. Larson (Did he also produce The Hardy Boys?) 30 years ago. The expletive substitute was resurrected in the new (good) Battlestar Galactica, and has since seeped into everyday use. There have been no complaints from Standards and Practices or the FCC (which protects American viewers from bad words and wardrobe malfunctions). I prefer the spelling “frack”, but frak is a four-letter word. Thanks to Ricky for making me watch Battlestar Galactica.
McCain: very 70s Battlestar Galactica. Palin: straight out of Twin Peaks.

BSG rocks! It’s as if every episode is one big film production.
…and I think McCain is a frakking toaster. It’s possible, no?

I knew I’d peg you as someone who’d watch BSG. This is one show that’s on the same level as Lost except that it addresses and makes veiled references to the turbulent politics and social situations that the US is going through under the present presidential administration.
Prepare to get your mind blown over what to expect in your journey to BSG-land. We ourselves still have questions here regarding the end of the first half of season 4.
