You know, I'm watching this scene between Ellen and Laura and wondering where in the hell my friend got the idea that BSG almost never passes the bechdel test...

OK, I'm going to ask, what's the bechdel test?

I was going to ask the same.

Two women in a scene having a conversation together not talking about a man. (Though I like to amend it to say not talking romantically about a man, because in Buffy they talk about men mostly because most of the villains are men.)

There are not very many friendly scenes between the women. I mean other than Kara/Boomer which immediately gets called into question. We don't see many female friendships

No there isn't, but there isn't too much male friendship either except for the Adama/Tigh bromance. There're more mixed gender friendships, which I like alot. But the fact is when women are in a room together talking most of the time it's not about men, romantically.

So it passes...but they still could've done a lot more.
