So I am finally watching Battlestar Galactica for the first time. And, granted, I am only at the beginning of Season 2, but so far I have to say--all of my friends have told me how the show is this clear critique of GWB and Bush-era politics. And...I sort of don't see it? I mean, obviously I see it here and there--but it's not a consistent show arc, more like remixed allusions/tropes of the War on Terror Hot Topics inserted into the plotlines. I think Buffy season 7 was a much stronger, and more developed critique of Bush and the Iraq War.

But maybe it gets more consistent/explicit later on in the show?
