[QUOTE]Originally posted by Marauth: [QB] Personally I rather hope that Baltar doesn't get rumbled, he's my kind of guy - narcissistic, manipulative, self-obssesed, devoutly atheist (yes I know that's an oxymoron) and generally a rather amoral dude - pretty much all the personality traits I admire. I found the religious Cylons a refreshing change from most shows where the good guys are religious and inevitably triumph against the evil technology by keeping their faith. If the Cylons are as you say taking the ten commandments too far and punishing us for our sins it kind of lends the show a 'we deserved it' quality, which given that the humans will win in 7 years time if we deserved it then we'd be sticking it to God in style by wiping out his armies of righteous vengeance - the Cylons. Hope is an incredibly stupid emotioin that blinds humans to the fact that they really are screwed, obviously this is a show about the BSG saving humanity so hope will prevail over mathematics but in the real world hope is BS (sans the 'G') and when you only have around 47k people left in your whole species you ain't got a chance in hell unless you find a real safe planet with no natural predators (and no Cylons chasing you every half an hour) and start screwing like rabits. Of course I am very impressed with the show in general, certainly I can't stand the original and Star Trek has become a chore to watch so it's nice to finally have a decent SF show back on in the monday evening slot; but I can see already the obvious hollywood clich�s appearing. P.S. they [i]really[/i] need to repaint the MkVII Vipers, I dunno why they weren't red and white like the old MkIIs. [/QB][/QUOTE]
