(no subject)

Okay, so I'm back after missing last week's episode (which I still mostly like, and which I still have little to say regarding). Apparently I'm making up for it this week. This is long. And mostly about Classism.

( Inevitable comparison with The Woman, King. )

( Petty Nitpicking about accents. )

( Why would people listen to Baltar or his book? )

( Untenable situation vs untenable situation: how much do you sacrifice before survival - core question of the show? )

( Laura Roslin, beware the Dark Side of the Presidency! )

( Portrayal of the working class and the strike. )

( Tangent about the mining strikes in the 80s. )

On the whole I found this to be a nuanced look at workforce issues with some actual genuine reasons for the poor conditions that stemmed organically from the ongoing plotines. I thought it did a good job of making the concerns look trivial enough from one perspective before shifting to show them as really important.

I guess I felt there was a lot in this episode that has to do with dignity. But I'm babbling...and unable to coherently put together my point of view on the points I've already raised, let alone delve into anything else.

( Now I'm going to unleash all hell on Adama. )

And that is what I think.
