Someone at SciFi has been doing their homework as regards spacecraft metal fatigue — last night’s episode, No Exit, features character Galen Tyrol performing, of all things, a dye penetrant inspection of Galactica’s major structures.
I have a hunch that that is the first time an authentic non-destructive inspection technique has figured in a science fiction television series. I’m impressed. If it had been Star Trek, they would have just made up some BS technobabble.
It is a little strange, though, that it’s a Cylon doing it.
