Bastille Day
I was wondering what the heck "Nelson Mandela-like" was supposed to mean. It turns out that one of the colonies was an apartheid colony, but unlike South Africa where whites ruled over blacks, in the BG colony the blacks ruled over the whites.
Once again we see Ronald Moore making the humans bad people. In the original series, humans were generally seen as good.
There was the obvious humor of seeing Richard Hatch playing Tom Zarek lecture Lee Adama about the meaning of his call sign "Apollo." Ha ha.
I wonder what Baltar is going to do with that nuclear warhead?
Comments:
I think that Six was leading him on with a way to detect Cylons. What he said seemed like it might work. I guess we'll see about that, I think that he actually builds one.
Humans- Well, it's realistic. We do the same things.
Humor- Loved that little lecture, but I think that I liked the: Where's your mother? She's dead, where's yours?

Yeah, I never saw anything about blacks ruling whites either, and I saw the episode three times. Tom Zarek's issues weren't about apartheid but simply about injustice from an ultra-lefty perspective. He's sort of like Ralph Nader but willing to blow up buildings to achieve his purposes.
