You Heard It Here First

Okay, so you've heard the term jumping the shark, right? Now there's nuking the fridge.

I propose one even beyond those.

Spoilers for BSG fans.

Fucking the Monkey. That's the new term.

Where did I come up with that? So in the BSG finale, the human race has finally found Earth. In their limping Battlestar Galactica, they have (at the leading of "angels") come to our pre-historic Earth and decided to give up all their modern technology (modern medicine, weapons, tools, shelter, etc.) to create a new world.

Of course, the Earth already has beings on it in the form of homo-erectus (the implication that they're essentially ape-people) and they've pretty much got to cross-breed with these natives in order to keep the human race alive and going.

Yep. They have to get it on with monkey-people.

The ending is so lame that it can really best be encompassed by the term: fucking the monkey.

And so, Internet, I propose this term as a new extreme for how idiotic a show's writing can get.

Take it, or discard it, as you will.

My apologies for any readers who are easily offended by profanity.
