Are we complaining about the diversity of BSG? Edward James Olmos is hispanic. The chick who plays Dualla is black. Racetrack's self-healing ECO is black.  The doctor cylon is black. The president's assistant is indian, which makes her asian. Are we watching the same show?

[Blarg21ab]

How many blacks? Lots. How Many Asians? Tons. How many Arabs? Lots. How many Caucasians? Lots. Have you ever been to Canada? No.

Go to Canada before you bad mouth it (and no, Maine is not part of Canada) :P

[XoXKyleXXX]

Edward / Adama is my favorite character

@joemamak88 i agree completely and totally, but just a small correction about you last remark. racism and sexism hadn't even been discovered, because this was about 150,000 years before Earth. people were just people and soilders and workers. nothing more, and certainly nothing less.

haha rofl @ olmos jokes : D

divine intuition?

[joemamak88]

So, Its not too feministic, its BSG showing us an environment of what things could/better be like. Characters like Lee didnt have to remain a sterotypical brute while Kara could be a hot-head and neither of them weren't representing their sex, it was just who they were, who they were free to be. And to argue it is too feminstic, is also to show how much you like to reinforce gender-roles.

[joemamak88]

Way too feminist? How can you even argue that? Tardegrade is right - u just didn't get the show. BSG was suppose to be an example of how far advance their society was to ours, they have the same life issues...which is why the show is so great - but racism (by skin color) and gender inequality didn't exist - not b/c they just decided to be color/gender blind all of a sudden, but that insitutaional discrimnation was too far gone by the time of BSG's world.

I was a great fan of Edward Olmos till he did this series. At first I was proud he took the role until we saw how they rewrote the series and both wife & I stopped watching by 2nd season.

The last straw was when my daughter shows me her Anthropology assignment & under a Chapter called "A Culture of Immasculation" a study on the promotion of male redundancy & stripping of male pride is this TV series BSG2005 starring an actor I used to associate with the word pride.

You lost my respect Edward.

[cornergasser]

She actually makes a good point. I'm so disappointed that almost none of our students, not even girls, watch BSG or the Sci-fi Channel at all anymore. And Saviks complaint is pretty much what they all say.

Olmos doesn't know his history. The English weren't even the majority cause of disease-warfare on natives of America, it was Spanish, Portuguese, French and mostly American most of all who deliberately gave lice & disease infested blankets etc. To single out the English alone seems prejudiced

[tardegrade]

Jesus wept get a life will you. If you don't understand the series then don't bother posting vacuous crap.
