My only complaint with this article is the swipe at the original BSG. The remake inspired me to Netflix the original and seriously watch it again since the first time it was on (when I was a wee-pup and wouldn't have noticed much in the way of deep plot lines). I was startled by how much of what makes the new BSG good was actually in the original, the tension, the internal conlict, the philosophical questioning. Sure it wasn't nearly as front and center most of the time in the original as it is in the new, but it was all there. The cheesiness came from the budget, if you pay attention to the actual plot the show really was hitting good issues very well.
The original was of course just a Mormon allegory.
