"There are those who believe... that life here... began out there. Far across the universe. With tribes of humans... who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians... or the Toltecs... or the Mayans... that they may have been the architects of the Great Pyramids... or the lost civilizations of Lemuria... or Atlantis... Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man... who even now fight to survive... somewhere beyond the heavens."

Any of us could have written that article months ago.

Given the liberal leanings of this woefully disjointed series, I’d bet more on Adam and Steve than Adam and Eve.

It will turn out that the entire universe within which Battlestar Galactica takes place is part of a child’s science project on a planet of super-advanced beings in a universe which is one of many virtual realities created by a team of super-duper-advanced beings on a planet within a universe that is merely the dream of a butterfly on a planet within a universe ...

[marajade]

Um there ain’t no liberal leanings.

Pretty interesting. To me and others, it seems like they landed in Brooklyn (you can see the wreckage of the bridge) looking across the East River. One guy actually Google Earth'd the approximate position of the CGI camera shot.

Get This: Where the Colonials and Cylons are standing is on a street (Park something or other) in Brooklyn that has a particular building standing on it today, with a view as we see it on screen.

The name of this real-life building?

The Watch Tower.

[KevinDavis]

That is true. Plus the show creator, Ron Moore is not a liberal.

[KevinDavis]

Holy Frack...

[MrB]

would those be the advanced, highly evolved aliens that designed life here on earth, like Dawkins suggested?

[Jagman]

Right. And the whole suicide bomber plotline reflected what, exactly?

[Victoria_R]

Um there ain’t no liberal leanings.

Only because if it goes any more to the left, it will be "going the wrong way".

[TheWasteLand]

Um there ain’t no liberal leanings.

If you listen to the podcasts, Rawny Moore himself admits the show leans left.

[buccaneer81]

A shot of the WatchTower building and beyond...

[marajade]

Um if you listen to the podcasts Moore himself is an independent.

[Species8472]

An we have to wait till NEXT YEAR to find out.....

Grrrrrrrr!

[mnehring]

Ditto, they seem to cover the full political spectrum through the characters, just like you would have with any random group of people that are forced together. I think they handle issue leanings very well.

[marajade]

A reflection upon current times. Moore wasn’t making a political statement.

[TheWasteLand]

Um

What, are you channeling Obama or something?

if you listen to the podcasts Moore himself is an independent.

So? You said the show had no liberal leanings. Rawny, the head writer and developer disagrees.

[KevinDavis]

But, I thought it was church they where near.. I could have sworn I saw a cross.
