As I said in the Official Battlestar Galactica thread, this show reads better as a WWII analogy, with the humans as the Resistance, and the Cylons as the Nazis, whatever the intents of the writers.

The show is not afraid to take a whole host of real-world concepts and twist them around. Thats what good Science Fiction does.

I cheered them many times last year when they stuck it to the liberals for their post-911 forgetfulness. I do not mind standing back and having them throw my sacred cows into the mix also.

The whole concept of "New Caprica" was a representation of the liberals trying to take us back to "pre-911". Their desire to "forget about it" and "move on". The show presented that forgetfulness as ending in tragedy...a predictable return of the enemy. Exactly right. Great message.

So I don't mind them trying to puncture some of my conceptions this season, if they can.
