If you're talking about the BSG writers, I agree.  They seems to have
no sense memory or just simply ignore what happened two episodes ago
because it'll "ruin" the script for the next show.

Triple H is a "wrassler", a cage match is a wrasslin' match with a cage
surrounding the ring.  Wrasslin' is an ol' tymie entertainment "sport"
with scripted matches and rigged endings. Plus, wrasslers seem to have
a better idea of continuing storyline than the BSG writers do.

Ken - ugh, that wig....I can't get past it. What idiot in the make-up
department thought that wig would look good on Forbes?
