BSG 4.08: Hub (part 2)

Also, yes, um, the actual plot bits...so, now the Cylons are mortal! Dude. I never thought they would actually be able to do it. This is certainly one of the most significant events in the series. Wow.

Also, now that Laura gives in to love and compassion and saves Baltar and all that, will she please stop acting like George Bush?!

Amen, sister. Hopefully, that's the whole point. Do we get one more ep this year, or two, btw?

I believe it's just next week, and then nothing more until 2009. Knowing BSG, probably late 2009...

you know, I don't think its GW she's acting like, but Franklin Roosevelt. He did a lot of slight-of-hand and did some iffy things, like the Japanese internment camps, but there was Hitler and the Axis and if the Allies had lost the war it would have been the end of the world. I've been thinking about this a lot recently.

My hate and disgust for pres. Bush is without bounds but he's hardly the first president to lie. And the Cylons *are* the ones who attempted to commit genocide.

maybe that is the parallel the shows writers are trying to make, but I like and admire Laura Roslyn too much and it just doesn't hold true for me.

I got a Bush vibe especially strongly with all the secrecy surrounding the alliance with the Cylons,a nd whent eh Quorum was bitching about not being consulted on anything. She seems very into executive priviledge, which is something I associate very strongly with Bush.

I don't know as much as I should about FDR's presidency during the war--the Depression is more my era, and most of my studies of WWII focused on Europe--but I'd be willing to go along with an FDR parallel.
