there's this essay in my battlestar galactica and philosophy book about monotheism being the chosen religion of slave races, like when the jews were in egypt. i wish i could remember the philosophy behind it right now, but i'd really have to read it again.

ANYWAY, YAAAAAY, BSG. i don't know what to make of your detachment. i could see that it might have something to do with reading reaction posts before watching the show (i never do that). but i really hope that it goes away at least by the end of the season. i myself had a very strong initial attachment to the chief of the deck and helo's sharon (fyi, she does know she's a cylon; it's her cylon mission to seduce helo), and four seasons later they're still my two favorites (even though neither one of them has been very front-and-center for a while now, which upsets me).

but anyway, it is a very plot-driven show, but the plot is really rooted in the characters and their relationships. i mean, at its heart it's really just a show about people figuring out how to live at the end of the world.
