Haven't seen it and don't intend to but I do have a question nonetheless. How does the part with Section 31, Admiral Marcus, Khan and the Klingons play? I am asking as we already had a story with...

If I intend to watch a movie I don't wanna know anything in beforehand either.
To me STID is like Avatar, a movie with a predictable story so you do not really need to watch it.

The first time we witness terror historically was in the French revolution and as you guys come from the British tradition and I am from conservative Germany we are all basically anti-Jacobins. But...

I think there were strong personal commitments in the show, e.g. between Tigh and Adama or in the resistance movement against the Cylon occupation.

What kind of all-out war? All I see is the old Shia crescent constellation, Iran and Syria supporting Hisbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, and now Israel targeting the supply lines. I am not a fan...

Wars shows e.g. the cost of resisting the Empire in the very first movie but the blowing up of a planet is fairly abstract. I think that this is simply an implication of the genre, it is hard to tell...

BSG simply modified the "high tech, low life" idea of cyberpunk (another short definition of this genre might be dystopian science-fiction with a corporatist background and a noir-ish foreground), it...

I don't have a problem with the authoritarian elements of BSG. As you pointed out it is basically necessary.
