It's Cylon. ;)
And yes, I think he is a hybrid model of Daniel that Cavil didn't kill off. ;)

Since it debuted six years ago, the Sci Fi drama about a rag-tag space fleet has offered challenging fictional depictions of problems afflicting our planet in the here and now.
And now a discussion of how those very issues have been handled on the show will take place at the United Nations.
On March 17, there will be a "Battlestar" retrospective at the U.N. in New York and a panel discussion of how the show examined issues such as "human rights, children and armed conflict, terrorism, human rights and reconciliation and dialogue among civilizations and faith," according to Sci Fi.

No wonder the UN needs more money from the deadbeat US!
What the frak?
Seems like scientology is movin on up
The UN is going to make a tersely worded statement about our fictional treatment of toasters.
Agreed. It’s a great show but I don’t want my tax dollars paying for a bunch of pompous Europeans to gab about it. There are plenty of forums which let you do just that at no charge.
Did the UN have a panel discussion about Seinfeld a few days before its final episode? It's a want-to-be world government about nothing - they discuss pointless topics and then bring back their condemnation of Israel from season one once again.
I agree - the proper venue for such discussion is the fan blog on scifi.com.
Someone needs to frackn’ airlock the UN!
Does this mean that Obama is actually a Zylon? Now it all starts making sense.

No frak’n way!
Well, we can have a ‘24’ discussion at the Marriot near me if anyone likes. We can brings snacks and pizza as we go over the interrogation tactics of Jack Bauer and how these measures could be used to save us in real life.
So it's "nuanced"? How about "nihilistic", "misanthropic", or "inane"? They treat the "war" as someting you can just forget about and stop fighting, "faith" as something that leads suckers to mistakes, and "morality" is apparently whatever a person wants it to be at the moment (and it can change from moment to moment). There is nobody left on the show talking about principles, the men are all a bunch of wimps, and the women are all a bunch of suicidal nutcases. I think every major character has tried to kill themselves at least once. Yeah, I suppose to academic leftists, that's "nuanced".
It’s OK. We have a fraktional illusion of an fake interstellar war in cyberspace written by deluded Hollywood types who oppose real wars being talked about by a fractionally-separated deluded bunch of UN-types who ARE at war. And who have been at war with US since 1945.
Not a problem here. Just move-on.org, just move-on.org folks.
Frack the UN.
