Anyone else just get pissed-off at Battlestar Galactica?
"It's not the cylons that are our enemy! It's the military that refuses to negotiate peace!"

That's what the lady who sabotaged the ammunition was yelling when they carried her away.

Damn it, we are not fighting Cylons!

On the other hand, if you really watch the show, you have to ask yourself: Why do we think the human race deserves to survive?

In some way the Cylons have more humanity than the humans do.

Still, that pissed me off.

5. I think the show is brilliant.
Remember back with the old "Battlestar Gallactica", the toasters were entirely evil. With this one it's really hard to figure out who are the bad guys. The President, who is dying, makes a statement that the President has the last say on everything. Wow!

They have touched on so many things, including torture. Remember when Starbuck tortures the Cylon for information. But since it was a machine, she felt it didn't suffer, except that it really looked like it was in mortal pain.

This really makes you think.

7. Why be pissed off at the show because you disagree with a character?
That doesn't make sense at all.

It's like not liking star wars because the emperor is a real bastard.

I don't get it.

8. Ah, but now it turns out...
that the "peace loving resistance" is led by a Cylon.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......
