President Roslin with tears pooling in her eyes and tired from lack of sleep because they are having to FTL jump every 33 minutes for the last five days to evade the Cylons who keep finding them, with the words "Alright, next crisis" coming from her mouth is literally the synopsis of the entire show.
"Alright, next crisis"

There are many fewer problems with aristocracy if the aristocrats are competent.
Like, why does it need a strike to tell President Roslin that the workers on the tylium refinery ship (which is absolutely critical for the continued to survive) need a training program for new workers and phases of rest and machine downtime for maintenance. Those things should have been set up weeks after the Cylon attack, not after two years.
Roslin and Adama suck at long term strategy and this re-watch has really pushed my opinion of them downwards. As charming as they are as personalities, they are leaders who aren't leading well.

The more I re-watch Battlestar Galactica the more of an 'ick' feeling i get from President Adar, especially after Laura's "He's a hard man to say no to," in the miniseries and what we see of their 'relationship'.
Am I alone in this? i would love to know if i was reading too much into it.

non-Angela Bassett related post but my husband and I fell back into the Battlestar Galactica rabbit hole on Mary McDonnell’s birthday without realizing it.
I completely forgot this happened on the show, but it’s just brilliance on top of brilliance. Happy Birthday, Mary!
thank you, @bestbuddybobby for pointing out it’s her birthday because i literally had no clue

The most realistic thing that ever happened on Battlestar was when a woman told a hard truth to the people and a couple of conniving men yelled "she's wrong!" with absolutely nothing to back it up and then won the election.
Which of course ended in catastrophe.

Laura Roslin on New Caprica in her red dress lives rent-free in my mind

I watched the Abortion Episode of Battlestar Galactica again and Roslin is an idiot if she thinks that outlawing abortion will in any way solve the demographic problem the survivors of humanity have. (If she isn't an idiot, then she did it to pander to religious voters - but even that wouldn't have been a good strategic choice, because it allowed Balter his opening to challenge her by supporting the rights liberal voters consider important - and liberal voters seem to be the majority in the fleet.)
I wish the series actually seriously considered anti-natalism and pro-natalism in this situation. Is it right to have children when the future is bleak? Is the survival of humanity as a species into the future a thing worth fighting for? How can people be incentivized to found families when they are fighting for survival?
Honestly this rewatch may end up with liking BSG less, because I notice how they are missing many interesting questions and how many characters act less intelligently than they should.
