Yeah, why can't those dumbass civilians just stfu and do what they're told? In fact, they don't even need a government. That's what the Colonial Fleet is there for. And then Apollo, Starbuck and the rest of the pilots should get thier poo together and act like good soldiers, so that we can leave all this "characterisation" nonsense behind and get back to good old fashioned Cylon ass kickery. That would make the show so much more interesting.
Its crap like this that just reinforces why I always say that fans should stick to watching their shows, and leave the writing to the writers. Science fiction written by the fans, for the fans is inherently garbage. Just look at the nouveau Robotech tripe, for example.
