Yes, she was much hotter. I did tend to debate the subject quite a bit but always came back to the same opinion that boomer was the hotest.

I found the religious-type nonsense well written, because it provoked thought about parallels with our own world.

It showed you how insidious religion and the sky fairies are, how it preys upon people, and ultimately rules their lives.

I think the religious stuff did become a bit of a filler in many of the eposides. It pretty much became the main story for too long.

I think, respectfully, that you were missing the point.

That was the main underlying story, as opposed to the original BG which was just about survival against a technologically superior enemy.

Had BSG:Reimagined followed the same route, I doubt it would have had the same success as the original.

When viewed from a different angle, the new BSG provoked more thought, I found. Halo and I spent many an after-episode, discussing the themes underlying the show and their significance and parallels to real world religion.

It's a bit like saying "I Claudius, bah. Hardly any action at all, all they did was talk about politics and stuff."

BSG may be about survival, but there are much deeper themes underpinning the whole series, which is why it was so successful, and these themes are not merely window-dressing and given scant consideration, but are actively pursued and focussed upon.

It's rare for a syndicated show of that calibre to delve so deeply, and those that do tend to pay "lip service" to more serious backgrounds. Here the new BSG excelled and served up a full course menu, IMHO.

The religious stuff never really went anywhere, never really had a conclusion, just something to add to the script, the writers went down that route and I think they just regretted it, the series was tied up in rather shambolic circumstances.

**** SPOILERS ****

The whole Baltizar thing, he was head of science then president then the religious stuff comes in and he is in charge of a religious cult down in the bowels of the ship. First role was good, second role was a natural progression then the third role was "ehh, he is a really good actor but where do we put him now?"

The religious stuff was good up to a point but then it started to drive the story a wee bit too much.

Still, I am a fan and these comments are more thoughts than criticisms.
