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

      Oh yes, I forgot to mention.

      Starbuck is hot.

      Thank you for the reminder.
      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

        Think you mean the Battlestar Galactica mini series. It wasnt a 'pilot.'

        First shown as two 2 hour programmes, the mini series (so called cos it was shown as four 1 hour shows in the US) was very very good.

        The actual follow up series was considerably weaker imo although a couple of episodes from each season were quite good. They tried to tie the end up quite well when they finally reached Earth, some 150,000 years in our past.

        But then they spoilt it right at the end by insisting there was a 'god' and 'he' had input to mankind's survival. 6 and Baltar being 'angels' just added to the overall insult.

        So no, stick with the mini series. The story is far more tight and the imposing music adds the the tension.
