You’re aware, I assume, that Battlestar Galactica’s creator, Glen Larson, is a Mormon, and that the original series fairly drips with Mormon allegory.
Just the Kolob/Kobol piece alone points it out...
It is an analog of a sorts, with Mormonism and BSG being fiction and full of mythical ideas.
Actually, the new series, while less an allegory of the trek to Zion, seems (IMHO) to display even more doctrine (preexistence, cycle of planets, etc.) than the original did. I’m waiting to see if Zoe on Caprica has virtual (spirit) children who need physical (cylon) bodies.
And yes, encourage me! reaganaut makes me watch Big Love, and is threatening to make me watch the Twilight series next!
