Message 944390 - Posted: 1 Nov 2009, 7:14:52 UTC

I kept looking around for extra credit on the geek test, but I couldn't find any.

Am I the only person who still has the novelization of the original Battlestar Galactica pilot on his bookshelf? (In the novelization, Cylons weren't machines... How's that for trivia?)

I believe they were a reptilian race. Did I get my trivia correct?

I'm pretty sure reptilian is the correct answer, but no human had ever seen a live one outside of its armor. The must have had some wicked bioengineering skills, because high ranking cylons had extra brains grafted on.

I didn't even realize it was a novel first. (The novel is almost certainly better than the TV show).

The Imperious Leader was modeled after the living cylons.

I believe the orignal BSG storyline had the cylons as reptilian. They created the robots as their servants and warriors. eventually the cylons either died out or were killed off by their own machines.

Well... haha -
I dont see myself as a nerd, but
of curiosity I took the test to
find out what this Nerdy test would
tell about me. ;-))

Here`s the result. Pretty different from all the others in here -
Anyone surprised? I dont think so.. ;-)




Mark; For Dumb/Dork/Awkwardness: 100% scored higher, 0% scored the same, and
0% scored lower.

?? haha
