> As an European, it always baffled me how religious it was.
RDM managed to combine all aspects pretty well and it's shame that universe wasn't explored further. While there was Caprica series that took on pre-war Colonies, apparently it wasn't what people wanted to see.
I'm from Europe as well and I always find quite fascinating that setting. Colonials polytheism, Cylons monotheism, the mystic element of the Messengers Baltar and later Caprica Six saw; so the technology of that world felt unique yet close to real one. Tho, the octagonal themes on few occasions were way too silly, especially the 8-sided compact disks equivalents. Luckily there was no aliens like in the 80s series - Olmos' requirement for the role was that show wouldn't include these
