We've got a thing that's called Cylon love...

Posted by Matt StaggsI found this Q&A posted at Wired.com:My husband wants to do some bedroom role play with a sci-fi twist — he'd like me to pretend I'm Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica (no, not the Dirk Benedict version). Bad idea?Not as long as you two talk things over before donning flight suits. "Does he want to be sexually overpowered by a hard-drinking fighter pilot?" asks Rita Seagrave, a sexpert and dominatrix who runs KinkMogul.com. "Does he want to be shoved around the Pyramid court, or interrogated and dunked underwater by a sexy, rebellious blonde?" If any of those setups make you feel uncomfortable, let him know.Once you've established the parameters of your scene, be sure to follow standard etiquette: Agree on a safe word and be gentle with each other's spines and tailbones. And don't get too carried away in the role — unlike Leoben Conoy, Starbuck's Cylon admirer, your husband won't regenerate if he's stabbed.It got me thinking of what a relationship column answering questions from fictional characters would like like:Dear Abby,Me am in love w/pretty blonde girl. Do anything for her. Beat up snake? Yes. Beat up dinosaur? Yes. Me even climb tall building. Nothing get her attention. What I do wrong?King KongWell, this is just my goofy little example. I'm sure that you can do better. How about you post some relationship questions from the perspective of characters from movies and fiction?
