It's appropriate to be a cheesy actor if you're playing in a cheesy show (like both BSG TOS and A-Team). That doesn't mean you're always a cheesy actor.
But I don't know, as I haven't seen Benedict anywhere else... still, in dubio pro reo. Give Starbuck the benefit of the doubt, for old times sake

The thing is they need to raise George C. Scott from the dead since Caine was obviously Patton in space.
(I wonder: Does that make Adama Eisenhower?)

If they can find a place for Dirk Bendict to succeed more power to them. The only other thing I have ever seen him is was a bad movie about him being a sleezy wrestling promoter or some such, one of those flip on the tv recgonize and actor that was special to you as a child, and then flip away quickly cause the content is awful.
On another note, Hatch is fantastic as Tom Zerik. The character is very fresh in BSG context, and Hatch plays the demogoguary (sp) well.

Sir Brennen said:Okay, here's my theory:
* Earth exists, even if only in legend.
* The human colonies worship Greek gods, have twelve planets named after the Zodiac.
* These names came from somewhere.
* The Cylons believe in one true god (and evangelisize like southern baptists.)
* Everything that has happened before will happen again, according to the scriptures.
Therefore:
The Cylon/human war is a repeat of the rise of Christianity admist the Roman Empire!
See, the cylons aren't trying to breed with humanity; they want just one baby - a Messiah!
Baltar will be his John the Baptist.
It all fits!
Well, except for that the early Christians didn't blow up the Roman Empire...
Actually, someone else mentioned the twelve Cylon models being like the twelve Olympians, which is a pretty interesting point, too.
But this is what I like about the show - the religious aspects are multi-facted, open to interpretation, and shows different philosophies at odds with each other. Unlike the Matrix, where philosophy turned out to be literal truth, and therefore less interesting. I also like that the machines are devoutly religious, instead of the emotionless cyborg cliche which most shows/movies would use.
One last interpretation of the spiritual views of the societies in the show - it's a reflection of the tensions underlying 9/11 - a moderate, open society is attacked by one with a fanatical viewpoint. This in turn gave rise to a greater religious/political association within the moderate society, which then caused a division over direction within that same society (represented by Pres. Roslin and Tom Zarek, which hints about next session indicate he will be in opposition to her decision to start letting prophecy influence her leadership.)
This is a great show. I just hope it stays leaning more toward sci-fi than fantasy, in that "miracles" don't start happening without at least some plausible, logical explaination. Ambiguity is okay, just not overt supernatural events. (Like the prez's drugs giving her hallucinations... or visions?)
I just wanted to say, this is a beautiful theory...

Stop!! Both #6 and #7 are both HOT, in their own way. But I will give it to #7, for the more meater lines given to her. In the show.
But #6 has...has...*leave it right there*
