BSG 4.2 Six of one

It’s a TV truism that all series eventually approach the condition of soaps. Some of them start out that way ie with the primary focus being on a few key characters, their families and their relationships rather than a world or a workplace. In BSG’s case the driving force of the show is still the response to extreme situations but in the early days it was a whole society, or what was left of it, responding to possibly the most extreme situation imaginable for a people. Now the events driving the story are the worst things that could happen to particular individuals rather than humanity as a whole.
