But I have to differ on your point of god being a character here.<BR/><BR/>I think the new Doctor Who series provides great stories exploring the nature of godhood, but so far, I haven't been reading BSG as having an overt god character. I think what we've seen so far are characters relating to a mysterious god. They believe in a message/messenger/prophesy/fated destiny/etc., but what we've seen of their actions is that their actions arise from those beliefs. Until Head Six is confirmed as an angel, I'm holding off on the god-designed path resolution that may very well be coming.<BR/><BR/>As for Tyrol's peace with Baltar, I do think that his struggles to understand his "new" self helped him accept and reconcile Baltar's past and present.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869924253948047268.post-74100055596662347882008-05-06T17:30:00.000-07:002008-05-06T17:30:00.000-07:00great stuff on religion there...and i say that as ...great stuff on religion there...and i say that as a totally lapsed catholic. <BR/><BR/>but i think you're possibly being a bit too hasty to judge the writers here.<BR/><BR/>im sure Moore et al are fully aware that a cop out on the god stuff would potentially invalidate what has come before.<BR/><BR/>I don't think Kara is mad to trust Leoben, just aware that theres something between them, something resonant, that can't be ignored.<BR/><BR/>and thats got nothing to do with the fact that i took the 'which cylon are you' test and came back as Leoben...<BR/><BR/>nice to see someone citing Greene and Waugh, too...magnusbarfodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02573209928936213582noreply@blogger.com
