As with all sci-fi, I'm not really interested in the religion part of the storyline. I struggled with that through some of Foundation, and with some other sci-fi stories. I realized today that this was a problem. With Foundation, I found myself skimming the parts of the story that involved the quasi-religion of nuclear devices, always hoping it'd fade into the background. I also do this with characters in stories occasionally, too- just waiting for them to get phased out because I'm not really interested in them. In the case of Battlestar Galactica, I'm sure that the theological differences between the Cylons and the humans probably adds something to the story, but I find myself glazing over every time I hear "god" or "gods," just like I do in my personal life.
I can't quite put my finger on what it is that I like about this show, but I find it much more bearable than some of the other shows she's been watching lately. One thing that I can say with certainty is that I like the music, especially the weird drumming parts. It totally adds to the feel of the show in a way that I really enjoy.
