Should try reading whole paragraphs. Truman stopped to consider dropping the bomb even though it would only kill 1/4 million. You’re saying none of the BSG characters should have thought for a second about killing MILLIONS.

I think you just weren’t paying attention in the first season. Right off the bat they started talking about whether or not humanity deserved to live, and questioning whether the killings they were doing were justified (remember the Olympic Carrier).

The audience knew Boomer was a Cylon at the end of the mini-series, 13 episodes before she shot Adama. If you’ll notice the path to eventually trusting Cylons was built on necessity. Once they found out about Boomer they threw the next Sharon straight in the brig and left her there until they absolutely had to use her to purge the virus from the computer, and then put her right back in the brig until they absolutely had to use her again. It took a long time to trust her, and she was the only one they trusted until they encountered the rebels.

not projecting,

you are glossing over the left wing preaching.

The union BS on the mining ship, the homosexual BS on that special miniseries.

I think what happened is the “new” series writers realized they had poop for script so they just figure if they flash boobies and sex with high end cgi then they could push the propaganda.

They started out slow and had potential but just fell appart. It was like the writers ran out of “simulants” during their writing meeting at some point and just put in “whatever looks like we can attack americanism with”.

You’re projecting. Most of your complaints aren’t even things that happened in the show. You’ve decided it has a hidden agenda and back fill blatant misinterpretations and selectively forgotten events to make it.

Unless you watched an entirely different Battlestar Galactica than I did, then the points I made are all in there. If you choose not to see them, that's your business. As far as the Truman analogy goes, I'm not going to bother to explain how that analogy fails for the third time. You appear to be willfully misunderstanding the point, so I'm not going to spend any more time on it with you.

I don't claim that this show has a hidden agenda. What I am telling you is that the show has a convoluted plot and unrealistic character actions and development precisely because the writers don't have the slightest clue about reality. They are injecting all of their self-loathing, leftist thought into a show whose premise should provide a profound moral clarity, but because they have been so brainwashed their whole lives with leftist self-loathing, it bleeds into their writing.

They took a good, solid premise and turned it into yet another bucket full of foul left-wing mush, because that's all they know how to do. They wouldn't know how to write a story about good, though flawed, people, or about virtue and nobility, because they don't have the slightest idea what those things are, and probably wouldn't respect them even if they did. So, when they write a story that should be the perfect vehicle for exploring those qualities, they screw it up royally because their own warped world view prevents them from being able to see such qualities in the world, let alone understand them. It doesn't matter if their agenda is intentional or not.

Enjoy the show if you want, but I feel sorry for anyone who thinks that this sorry show in any way reflects the human condition.
