Sci-fi show Battlestar Galactica
In the sci-fi show Battlestar Galactica, they seem to be using the term "frak" as a bowdlerized version of the real-life expletive "f*ck". What is the French equivalent of this expression in the French version of the show? Considering different uses of "f*ck" in English, I assume there is no direct translation consistently used throughout the show, but I might be wrong. Thanks in advance for your help.

You know what? I don't give a frak.
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,593
Tu sais quoi ?
Je m'en tape !
00:19:15,567 --> 00:19:19,526
Our job isn't to be careful,
it's to shoot Cylons out of the frakking sky.
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,474
On n'a pas à être prudents,
on doit dézinguer des Cylons !

Notez que la réponse m'a pris moins de temps qu'il n'a dû vous en falloir pour poser la question:)
You don't need Proz for that. Have you tried any of the websites offering subtitles in many languages?
Battlestar Galactica is not some kind of exotic art-house movie almost no one knows about, there ought to be plenty of subtitles available in many languages.
OTOH if you want a suggestion for translation in French, the Proz would be a good place to ask.
