These are the first episodes I've seen since the original in the 70's. Very well done.
However, the theme definitely reminds one of the situation in Iraq, with the show supporting the equivalent of the Iraqi insurgents, complete with their strap-on bombs blowing up the local police academy.
I think Edward James Olmos is a great actor, but I also know he is quite the liberal. Unfortunately, I'm thinking this show is an apologist for underground Iraqi tactics versus the American troops.
That bothers me.

Battlestar has become blinding anti Christian anti Bush propaganda.
Suicide bombers are understandable.
American soldiers are evil.
Police trying to stop terrorism are traitors.
Pro life is monstrous evil.
Hollywood is getting desperate.

Well, I just finished reading this whole thread.
Having not yet seen the show, I'd say it was a success. I'll have to rig the VCR to record it tomorrow morning.

Well, taped it Sunday Morning and watched it Sunday night before bed.
HIGHLY disturbing. Intense. Dread. Left me wanting more.
They did what they intended to do with this, and it worked.
I forsee Tigh ripping an eye out of a model of a Doral model with his bare hands and (good) Boomer assisting Doc Cottle in installing it into Tigh.
It would be fitting.
Best show on television.

Not sci-fi, but
James Callis (Baltar on BSG) plays Haman in
One Night With the King, loosely based on the Book of Esther.
Is it just me or does Callis enjoy giving a human face to people with blood on their hands?

I'm really appalled at how many people here are having knee-jerk reactions and taking the show the wrong way. This is not supposed to be anti-Bush or anti-American or anti-WoT. I have never read or heard anything from Ronald D. Moore or David Eick that implied any kind of political slant coming from them (I have met them both a couple of times now). I've always seen the Cylons as a group of religious fanatics who are trying to convert their enemies by force - sounds more like Islamofascists to me.
The fact that the humans are polytheistic while the Cylons are monotheistic is meant to show that the humans have a culture of diversity and differentiation not unlike that in America. And the Cylons can only focus on one thing, which is their fundamental and violent beliefs.
Also, when it came to the election last season, I found it very, very clear that Laura Roslin represented conservative ideals while Gaius Baltar was more in line with the secular progressives. And wouldn't you know it: Gaius won (eventually), and let the Cylons march in and take over. Just like what would happen if a "secular progressive" got elected here.

I won't be happy until President Roslin gives the order to 'airlock' Helo.
My respect for Lee Adama increased when the thought of genocide against the Cylons made him chuckle and smile.
