I do not think they are making any specific commentary on the war in Iraq.
I got more of a Bosnia vibe from the New Caprica stuff. The collaborators look exactly like the soldiers from Behind Enemy Lines. Also, Vancouver looks like Eastern Europe.[/quote]
Good call.

SPOILER ALERT - if you haven’t seen the season premier you might want to skip this.
I do think the kid might be a cylon, though.
The kid is a hybrid( for lack of a better term), or so she and we are told, but why would she belive the Cylon? Is she now pretending to care about the kid and fool the Cylon by holding her “man’s” hand in the hospital room?
I hadn’t thought that Starbuck might be “playing” them, but that’s certainly possible.
We don’t know that we’ve seen all the models, we assume we have, could there be a Starbuck, Adama?
At the beginning, we’re told there are 12 models. Boomer, Six, the Lucy Lawless Character, the Media guy, the scruffy guy, the Doctor at the farm, the Priest. Even if I’ve forgotten one or two, there have to be other models we haven’t seen to bring it up to 12. So, it’s certainly possible that the kid isn’t a hybrid, but one of the cylon models we haven’t seen yet. I really hope Adama isn’t a cylon, and presumably he’d know if Lee were one. Unless there’s some plot twist that Lee went off to live w/ his grandparents for many years and his own parents didn’t recognize him when he came back, but I think that would be a stretch.

All in all lots for us to think about. Best line in the premier; Boomer to Adama" How do you know you can really trust me?“, Adama " I don’t, that’s what trust is”.
That was great. Especially since there’s that moment when she thinks he means that he doesn’t entirely trust her and then says the other half.
I don’t have cable (I’d only get it to watch the scifi channel anyway), so I watched the whole thing on the treadmill at my gym. Well worth it.

Damn, thats 2 hours on a treadmill. I wouldn’t have made it.
The one thing nobody has mentioned…a collective thankfulness for Battlesatr NOT including that stupid robodog Muffet…even though as a kid I had the action figure(like you didn’t).
I just read where they are developing a series called “Caprica,” which takes place years before the cylon attack.
