Battlestar Galactica Hosted At the UN
TheDopp writes "The United Nations hosted the cast and crew of Battlestar Galactica Tuesday evening in New York. Clips of the show were shown as discussion points during the event, touching on the morality of Suicide Bombers in war, Abortion and the use of torture on enemies of the state. At one point during the event an attendee mentions 'the "Old Man" launched into a passionate speech about casting off the idea of race as a cultural determinant, and said we were one race, the human race. His voice echoed throughout the chamber growing louder until — I kid you not — he was yelling, "So Say We All," and the crowd answered right back. Hell, even I yelled it, I was in the fraking United Nations with Adama, the gods themselves could not have stopped this moment.' The full video of the event is located on the UN website."
I'm still bitter about Col Tigh being a Cylon.
Curse you, Ronald Moore.
Because having someone who absolutely hates the Cylons find out he is exactly what he hates the most isn't interesting? That was the best thing to happen for the show. Not only it forced him to see the Cylons in a different light (he understands that they didn't get to choose who they are), but it was a good way of having everyone around them start questioning whether or not the "toasters" are inherently evil, or whether they can be negotiated with.
Screw the UN, freaking self-important parasites.
Grrrrrr, liberals, grrrrrr :-)
