(no subject)

thepouncer suggested that I post my long-winded meta-commentary here, so blame her! Breaking it up by subject into manageable chunks, rather than subjecting you to all the long-windedness.

a) Various points.

b) Subtlety (or the lack thereof) of presentation of war themes themes by the writers, and both the positive and negative aspects of parallels to contemporary issues, a.k.a. "Thanks for the anvils on my head, Ron and Dave. Now can I get a Tylenol?"

c) How the Cylons' decentralised authority and consensus decision making differ from the traditional hierarchical model used by the Colonials, and how 'government by committee' actually reinforces conformity and makes individual Cylons less likely to speak out or disagree.

d) And finally, more various points, including a way Baltar could get back in the Colonials' good graces despite currently being perceived as Marshal Petain without the moustache. Spoiler-free, so just speculation.

Kinda busy right now (that darn real life keeps interfering with TV), so while I will try to respond to all comments, some responses may be tardy.
