You one need ten episodes before it's shown. (By the way, I like science fiction that gets all allegorical and shit. BSG seems to do the job very nicely. The Pegasus and Galactica diverged politically after the Cylon attack. Pegasus became a military dictatorship with fascist underpinnings while the Galactica became the nucleous of a city state where the military serves a primary function of protecting the population, but under a unique military/civilian partnership where the military seems to act independently of the civilian government. At the end of 210, Adama seems to be on the verge of realizing his mistake in assuming that old order still holds and that Admiral Cain is his legitimate superior officer.) .
