I don't think he meant it as an insult either. I'm pretty sure they're big BSG fans over there. (One of the writer/producers is Toni Graphia, who worked on BSG.) Like tiggy said, I think he meant it more that BSG had already done that with the Cylons, so he wanted to do something different.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

In song news, I've been listening to versions of "Samson and Delilah" on iTunes, and it's really obvious that they were influenced by Springsteen's version. Most of the versions on iTunes are...jaunty. And in a major key. One even has a tuba.

Lexxi must GO AWAY. Not funny, not fun, and being an aunt doesn't give a person the right to usurp the parent, and then further undermine the parents authority in front of the child.

awesome physical comedy, and I would have laughed if I wasn't cringing with sympathy pain.
"Call Zane" finally got me. Saw it coming and still larfed.

Yeah, I'm beginning to wonder if she's here to make us not mind Zane so much. Damn.
