Many observers were impressed by Col. Saul Tigh's selection of Laura Roslin as his running mate in the upcoming election. Others found Roslin to be a lightweight compared to Tigh's 40 years of service to the Twelve Colonies and his...

Fellow nerds might find this as funny as I did: Personally, I’d like to see Saul Tigh debate Barack Obama. It’d be over real quick. “Obama, you frakking wimp!” (Punches Obama in the throat, downs half a bottle of moonshine.) Much more nerdy fun at TighRoslin.com

TreeHugger is presenting the environmental policies of the various candidates for President and today analyses the Saul Tigh/Laura Roslin campaign. The Toaster Team is in Minnesota this week, crashing the Republican convention, and frankly, it is appropriate that they are there as the policies are so similar. Laura Roslin has such an attractive story, having won Miss Congeniality and...

Of course of Michael Palin isn’t your cup of tea then there is Saul Tigh. If only he could quash those rumours about being a Cylon…

I'd seen the site, Tigh & Roslin before and its a pretty good take but this poster takes it all. It's a nice twist that the character Colonel Saul Tigh in BSG was both a ex-fighter jock and also a former POW. It was really only with the addition of Sarah Palin to the McCain ticket that this really resonates. A nice little showcase by Christopher Ambler of Ambler Media and of his...

Fans of the TV show Battlestar Galactica have long ago noted some uncanny resemblances between John McCain and Saul Tigh. But there's a much broader connection. It seems as though just about everybody associated with McCain resembles a Battlestar...

4/29 Truth | John McCain is a Cylon429Truth has uncovered a deeply troubling discovery at the highest levels of power. Many have noticed that short-tempered Vietnam war veteran John McCain, imprisoned and tortured in Hanoi, bears a more than passing resemblance to short-tempered Cylon war veteran Saul Tigh, imprisoned and tortured on New Caprica:And it’s also easy to see a resemblance...

Citing the ever-present "source close to the production" (that guy is everywhere!), the newspaper says Park and Helfer will be in the telefilm, likely playing multiple Cylons within their model, as will other "toasters" Rick Worthy, Matthew Bennett, and Callum Keith Rennie. However, Michael Hogan, who plays Saul Tigh, won't be in the film extensively. Bummer, he rocks.

... "Battlestar" executive producer Ron Moore and Helfer). It’s a bit of a bummer to learn that Saul Tigh (Michael Hogan), perhaps the show’s most compelling Cylon, doesn’t have a big role in the new film, which will air some time after the show's season finale. My source says that Tigh and a fellow Cylon, Tory Foster (Rekha Sharma), are in the film, but “not as much." In convention...

A mighty tip of the hat to Boing Boing for both of these amusing looks at our new world order. First up, has anyone noticed that John McCain and Sarah Palin look an awful lot like Battlestar Galactica's Colonel Tigh...

Never has one image so clearly summarized an entire election. John McCain is Saul Tigh. Sarah Palin is President Roslin. And when you analyze their back story it all makes sense. John McCain, held prisoner by the Cylons and tortured by them, turns out to be a secret Cylon himself.Sarah Palin, an insignificant government official (Secretary of Education, in Roslin's case) widely thought...
