I couldn’t stop laughing when someone pointed out the similarities between Senator John McCain and Colonel Saul Tigh of Battlestar Galactica.
Both are balding, gruff, tortured war heroes with gravelly voices and younger blonde wives. Of course, I don’t think McCain is also an alcoholic who had to poison his own wife when she betrayed us to genocidal intelligent machines, so there are at least a few differences.
But if McCain starts authorizing the construction of autonomous killer robots, you’ll have to wonder….
