Any doubts that the Colonial refugees find the REAL Earth at the end of the finale should be allayed by this:

Drink one of these:
Guinness: "It's a beer!" "No, it's a motor oil!" "Wait a minute, Guinness is a beer AND a motor oil!"
And wear something green all day:
You can't go wrong.

In case you didn't know, Ashes to Ashes is a new BBC America TV show from the same producers as the original "Life on Mars". The difference this time is that the detective is a woman and instead of being sent back to 1973, she lands in 1981.
Ashes to Ashes was also a great David Bowie song and video from 1981. The video features Bowie in a full harlequin get-up and hanging in space as a drugged out Major Tom. There are also nuns, clerics, bulldozers, exploding dentist's chairs, and Bowie's mom.
The harlequin features prominently in the first episode of the show, and it's a great emulation of the Bowie character. To make it even weirder, the Bowie video features Steve Strange, who later went on to front New Romantic band Visage. Strange also gets a guest appearance on the TV show in Episode 2.
To make it even more special, 1981 was the year I made my first trip to England, so the show has some real cultural gravitas for me. Plus each week it features a great soundtrack:

Battlestar Galactica, episode 4.17 - "No Exit"
Ron Moore is a liar. You want proof? I give you proof. Anders lies in bed, with a bullet in his head:
"And you were there Galen, and Tory, and Saul, and Ellen and Daniel too!"
Dorothy lies in bed, fresh from a bump on the head. When she wakes up:
"And there was a lion and a scarecrow and a tin man, and you were all there! All of you!
Just to make sure you get it, Starbuck tells Anders that the Cylons are waiting to hear the rest of their life story: "I think they're hoping for a musical." Ya think?
Some of you may recall a pretty bad John Boorman movie from the early seventies called "Zardoz". It featured the one true God, a floating head:
And of course, Sean Connery in a pre-incarnate Speedo:
At the climax of the film, Connery discovers his "god" is inspired by a very old book, where he is told to "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."
This is followed by Connery going on a killing rampage.
You can't fool me, Ron Fraking Moore. I Read The Fraking Book.
Now go frak yourself.
