Liberals: An Intergalactic Terror?

Executive producer Ron Moore has created a sci fi series that grips your imagination and intelligence. The story deftly weaves an undercurrent of modern day political commentary into each episode, sometime subtly, sometimes blatently.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Moore doesn't hide the fact that BSG was "embracing the memories and feelings of 9/11" in order to create a sci fi show that is relevant to our time.

Interesting.

The bad guys in this series are the Cylons; machines created by man who rebelled and virtually anhiliated the twelve colonies of man. A defacto genocide of the human race. The authors of this, or any, genocidal ramapage should be despised and brought to justice. Parallels between the cylons and al-qaeda are frequently pointed out online in blogs and message boards . In this interview for Rolling Stone magazine, Moore warns that they're not intended to be directly allegorical: "They have aspects of Al Qaeda, and they have aspects of the Catholic Church, and they have aspects of America."

 Does this mean Ron Moore considers al-queda to be on the same moral field as that of the Catholic Church? Should the audience despise America as much as it hates the cylons?

Why don't liberals stop hiding behind their television series and just openly admit what it is they hate. I'll give you a hint: It's not al-queda they blindly hate...

Of course. It's moral equivalence to the nth degree. Anyway, I was pleased to note that this week's episode was mercifully nearly free of the heavy-handed Liberalism that pervades the series. Nearly.

I have another hour to wait, yet. Seeing your comment just made me all the more impatient.

What an episode tonight! The series just gets better and better!

I will be seriously pissed off if this series does not win an Emmy award!
