I guess I'm out of the loop here. Found the link via bsgvidrecs. I love Baltar/Laura so I did enjoy the vid for the most part but I found the ending a little confusing in how it is supposed to relate to the overall Baltar/Laura conflict. Without getting into conflicting opinions over the female characters in season 4, I found the exploration of who is god interesting though I think mixing your opinions on Mr Moore with the actual canon of the Baltar/Laura storyline a little jarring. It feels like there are two analogies going on here. The first poses god (potentially the cylon god?) as a weak minded petty individual who plays around with his children's lives like a child would torment an insect. That's an analogy I've always believed does suit the representation of the "god" in the BSG universe. The second analogy then poses the question that the writers (specifically Mr Moore) is actually this god. Now granted he is the creator of the show so I can see how the creator/god analogy may work but it seems a little I don't know, off perhaps? To apply such a harsh analysis of one person involved in the creative process. Granted if this is just a little bit of fun that you've done to make up for story lines you didn't like then feel free to tell me I'm reading too much into it- I do that often.
That said..
Is Baltar suppose to represent Mr Moore in this video? I'm just still a little confused over the intersecting of the two analogies there.
