- 8. 1/ une srie dans une srie Aux limites de la srialit: le
plagiat Appellant Fox argued in its brief that a comparison of the
two works discloses at least 34 similarities. For illustrative
purposes only, we list 13 of the alleged similarities: (1) The
central conflict of each story is a war between the galaxy's
democratic and totalitarian forces. (2) In Star Wars the young
hero's father had been a leader of the democratic forces, and the
present leader of the democratic forces is a father figure to the
young hero. In Battlestar the young hero's father is a leader of
the democratic forces. (3) The leader of the democratic forces is
an older man, displaying great wisdom, and symbolizing goodness and
leadership, with a mysterious mystical ability to dominate a leader
of the totalitarian forces. (4) An entire planet, central to the
existence of the democratic forces, is destroyed. (5) The heroine
is imprisoned by the totalitarian forces. (6) A leading character
returns to the family home to find it destroyed. Source:

- 9. 1/ une srie dans une srie Aux limites de la srialit: le
plagiat (7) The search by the totalitarians and the liberation
attempt by the democratic forces are depicted in alternating
sequences between the totalitarian and democratic camps. (8) There
is a romance between the hero's friend (the cynical fighter pilot)
and the daughter of one of the leaders of the democratic forces.
(9) A friendly robot, who aids the democratic forces is severely
injured (Star Wars) or destroyed (Battlestar) by the totalitarian
forces. (10) There is a scene in a cantina (Star Wars) or casino
(Battlestar), in which musical entertainment is offered by bizarre,
non-human creatures. (11) Space vehicles, although futuristic, are
made to look used and old, contrary to the stereo-typical sleek,
new appearance of space age equipment. (12) The climax consists of
an attack by the democratic fighter pilots on the totalitarian
headquarters. (13) Each work ends with an awards ceremony in honor
of the democratic heros. Source:

- 17. 2/ Quel rapport la srie? TOS vs GINO: the Galactica herself
TOS: Galactica is a 500 year old pride of the fleet commanded by a
high ranking member of the colonies, including a sitting council
member. Ship travels by Hyperspeed and has laser cannons and
missiles. Can take on a cylon basetar alone. GINO:Galactica is a
100 year old relic ready to be mothballed into a museum. Commanded
by a second rate captain who is ready to retire. Ship travels by
FTL Jump, has guns and missiles. Cant handle a few cylon raiders
without massive damage.
- 18. 2/ Quel rapport la srie? TOS vs GINO: The Colonials TOS:
Goofy hair cuts, capes and gold trim everywhere. Portrayed as Good
guys GINO: Jarheads in Space. Portrayed as deeply flawed
individuals who dont know right from wrong.
- 19. 2/ Quel rapport la srie? TOS vs GINO: The Cylons TOS: Alien
created war machine gone awry, at war with humans for 1000 years
due to the humans helping a neighboring species that is about to be
exterminated. Silver tin can machines that fire Laser Rifles GINO:
Pissed off Robo- butlers seeking revenge. They shoot machine guns
and nukes at people. Human cylons who found god
- 20. 2/ Quel rapport la srie? TOS vs GINO: The Struggle TOS:
Fleeing cylon tyranny after loosing a major battle that cost the
colonials their homeworld, the Colonials search space for Earth in
hopes that they can get some support against the cylons. The
colonials are caught in an eonnic war for their very existence.
Colonials = Good Cylons = Bad GINO: Idiotic humans allow their
ex-butlers to completely surprise attack them, nearly wiping them
out. By some quirk of luck they managed to get one old wreck of a
ship back into duty. They are caught in an ideological religious
war. Colonials = ?? Cylons = ??
- 21. 2/ Quel rapport la srie? TOS vs GINO: The Setting TOS:
Aliens galore GINO: Not one stinking alien.

- 24. 3/ Mtaphores de la srialit Rompre le cycle We are no longer
enslaved by the ramblings of Pythia, no longer pecking at the
breadcrumbs of the 13th tribe. We are now free to go where we want
to go.
- 25. 3/ Mtaphores de la srialit Rompre le cycle Im not going.
You know, all this is just gonna happen again and again and again.
So Im getting off this merry-go-round. Im gonna die here with the
bones of my ancestors [...] Dont you ever want to stop fighting
[...] Colonel? Dont you just want to stop all of this? And just
ride the tide out to sea.

production srielle culturelle dans son historicit Met en avant une
rupture profonde entre la reproduction physico-chimique et le
clonage numrique Questionne les conditions de la pertinence dune
production srielle lre du clone numrique
