Has anyone else been able to access the BSG Emedian Dark Thoughts high-res picture site? I haven't been able to get it for about a week. Has it moved? Thanks, guys! :)

Pegasus made me think of the Zimbardo experiment. If you're not familiar with it I recommend reading it.

ETA - My thoughts on Pegasus are here, BTW.

The site has been up and down the last week or so. It's weird that both BSG Emedien Dark Thoughts and GalacticaStation was down at the same time, at the same time that the scifi BSG forum was being hacked....weird weird.

Yeah, I was thinking about that 70's prison experiment (and a previous one that had people administering tests and shocking another person when they answer wrong) when I saw Pegasus. It's what convinced me that the Pegasus crew was probably not a bunch of psychopaths, but people who went down that path when given the right conditions. Some interesting stuff on human nature.

Unfortunately, in a group situation it seems most people will become abusive if they can get away with it. :(
