Comments on: Four Weddings and a Cylon http://www.galacticawatercooler.com/2006/10/08/four-weddings-and-a-cylon/ Each week we discuss the happenings and storyline of Battlestar Galactica in a multi-host talk-radio-style format. This podcast is spoiler-free, though we do discuss information from all current broadcast episodes.

Most of the real relationships so far have ended in marriage (the only real character that has sex/relationships that hasn't married is Baltar) and marriage often conjures-up images of children. And in BS were the human race is trying to survive and babies are important, I think there could be an interesting sub-story here that they haven't explored.

Well on this website, http://tv.ign.com/articles/751/751550p1.html , there is a pic of the two of them showing off that their tatoos like merge together. Just thought it would be cool to look at.

However I think the politics of marriage in this show haven't been explored because it's too early. I'm sure it might come up in later episodes. Interesting enough though the people that really gave Helo a very hard time about his relationship with Sharon are still on the Galactica: Hotdog, Kat, and RaceTrack, as you see them standing at attention during Sharon reinstation. I made it a point to look at them to see their expressions and noticed no smiles, during an occassion which surely under normal circumstances would have produced some. As far as marriage politics go though the Union between Helo and Sharon has always been controvercial and only survived because of their love for one another. In regards of the comparison with slavery, it was illegal up until the 1960's for Blacks and Whies to marry. Being as though the Colonials didn't have any knowledge of the Human type Cylons this kind of union could not have been contested. And I think for the President which I'm sure would be Roslin to try to go back and make this union illegal would cause quite a stir. I'm very curious to see if there will be any Cylons leaving with them when they escape the planet and if they will be integrated into human society and be allowed to intermingle with the remaining population and how that will be accepted or challenged. The most interesting thing to me about the Helo's and Sharon's relationship is frankly how hoplessly p----y whipped Helo is over Sharon. Because she flat out dissed him in Lay Down Your Burden's Pt. 1 by making that statement about not giving a damn about him anymore. And he still took her back and wifed her up. But he did and the bigger question is why haven't they just tried to have another baby. I wonder if that will come up. Makes you think Very interesting theory.
