Somebody, somewhere on this messageboard, said something like this: "It's Olmos' way of saying 'Oh, yeah, in this new medium, we can show tits and ass now.'"
Personally? I felt like either the cameraman was gay, or that it was a blatant "y'know, since we couldn't show you this while we were on SciFi, here's nudity to its fullest..."

I didn't give a damn about the dick (nor any of the breasts in this show, very nice :)), I just thought it odd they bothered with more explicit gratuitous nudity in this special unlike sticking to the implicit (but still gratuitous at times) nudity in the regular show.

Why am I a wimp? And I guess I have to clarify this again: I am NOT complaining in this post. As the subject heading says, I was just curious to know "what was up with the dick?" Some of yo boarders always want to turn every post about a dick into some lengthy back and forth about homophobia or racism. It's within my rights to ask about a dick without being labelled as some kind of ignoramus and I'm offended that I can never broach the topic without said assumptions. I would for once just enjoy being able to post a thread on here about a dick and have a healthy conversation pertaining to it without all the political babble you guys spout. If you're not comfortable having an adult conversation about the dick that appeared in Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, then why did you click on this thread? That's an answer I would really like to hear from you over eager argumentative lurkers.
Now, as for Misagh's question, let's think about that. I'd guess the editors would probably feel some kind of responsibility in terms of representing the actor and his member AS they appeared on set, rather than taking any kind of creative license with the footage. BSG has always been about realism despite all of the sci fi techno included in it. Food for thought. What do you think?

The nudity felt out of place and more like "let's put tits here so teenage boys will buy the dvd" than "this is just realism". It cheapened the movie a bit.

They literally put it there because they could. Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WA5c4QHZLU

I don't want this thread to just fade away. Weren't there breasts in that scene as well? They never showed breasts on the show, either. This thread doesn't just have to be about dick.

Well, i rememeber seeing breasts too. I did watch the scene with the penis with the commentary on (I do not have it now since it was a rental). They do make mention of it ,but I'm not sure if they give a reason , even if one is needed. As far as i am concerned a reason is not needed.

The problem is the way the nudity is presented. You can almost hear them saying:"Look, boobies!" behind the camera. It looks like something some idiot studio executive told them to add in to sell more discs. Especially when there's no nudity elsewhere in the series. It just doesn't fit in with the rest of the show.

No ginn gt, we wouldn't complain if it was a VAGINA, but guess what? They NEVER show a VAGINA on cable tv series or mainstream movies...only penises. All we ever get to see of women are boobs, and sometimes bush, but never actual FEMALE genitalia. I have NEVER seen a close-up of female genitalia (labia and/or anus) only male genitalia. We men are complaining because its an unfair double-standard! Have a woman bending over in the shower scrubbing her legs and zoom in for a close-up of her *beep* and then things would be fair and I'll stop complaining. But they will never show that, will they? That's why we complain. They show dicks but never vaginas.
