Sliteye Vindicated

Here is what I wrote about Battlestar Galactica:

5) They had this loser Asian character pilot that they killed in like 3 episode in season I. I really don't have a problem with the concept of "Expendable loser Asian male with 3 lines that die", but you could have given him a better call-sign. His call-sign was CHUCKLES. It was bad enough that he was the "Expendable loser Asian male with 3 lines that die", but make his callsign the most GIRLISH CALLSIGN EVER? That's just wrong. They might as well made his call-sign Sliteye or something.

"SLITEYE YOU'VE GOT ONE ON YOUR SIX! SLITEYE BREAK LEFT!"
"I'm HIT!!"
"Oh well he was going to die eventually."


Guess what, the guy who played "Sliteye", Terry Chen of Alberta, Canada, is in SNAKES IN A PLANE.

And he's a badass kickboxer

And he displays leadership qualities

And he saves a White Woman from Death from Snakes.

AND HE LIVES!!!

Sliteye vindicated, indeed.
