A scene only added to a television show, or movie, for its shock value. “Puking at the stars” refers to a bizarre scene in the last episode of the sci-fi TV series Battlestar Galactica. In the last episode of the show, the future Admiral Adama is shown vomiting all over himself as he lies drunk in the gutter looking up at the stars. Fanboys of the series maintain that the “puking at the stars” scene was part of the show’s character development, that it pushed the show’s gritty envelope, and that it was the epitome of “high art”. Discriminating viewers maintain, quite correctly, that the “puking at the stars” scene was vile and only added to the show’s last episode for it’s shock value.
