Are you serious??!! Cylons as the US.... Wow it was worse than i thought
The humans decided to give up the quest for Earth and just settle down, so they colonized a small planet. The Cylons showed up and took over, bringing the superior Cylon way to the people of New Caprica. The humans—referred to as “insurgents”—began sabotaging operations and doing suicide bombings. If someone took over the US a la Red Dawn, everyone on Free Republic would be engaging in these techniques, but the effect in a time of war was to have the audience cheering for al-Qaeda. Like I said, they used the language of the real-world debate by having a Cylon talk about, “I thought they’d welcome us with hearts and flowers!”
By the way, Moore chickened out by expressing surprise. “A parable about Iraq? Hey, it could be about Vichy France!”
I wasn’t a huge BG fan before this storyline, and I continued watching afterward, but the bad taste from that never left my mouth. I honestly don’t think it was very good anyway, with more and more people revealed as Cylons and weird crap like a bunch of people hearing “All Along the Watchtower” in their heads. I don’t know why I stuck with it, but I see it as a bitter, dark, joyless show that I’ll never revisit.
