I've just completed the first year of my PhD and I Feel Your Pain.<br /><br />Best of luck, keep on blogging, I found much thought-provoking material here.

It's really hard to believe that this layered and subtle programme was spawned by a trash western in space from the seventies...<br /><br />There are some other really interesting points about the show. How the humans constantly refer to their enemy as "toasters", whilst the cylons themselves are interested in philosophy and religion: the politics of torture, and the effect it has on the torturer themselves. Also the relationship between the political administration and the ilitary in time of war.<br /><br />I also wonder about the two humans that go out of their way to (violently) save the life of the pregnant cylon traitor... are these anti-war liberals thinking with their hearts not their brains?<br /><br />Anyway I've not seen the latest episode - so no more spoilers!Jim Jeppshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17410387006098326671noreply@blogger.com
