About the BSG miniseries little girl scene, you do realize that that's an allusion to the 1964 Johnson campaign ad, right? Throughout the miniseries are repeated allusions/homages/whatever to classic nuclear apocalypse films. In the series, they move on to other events in recent American history. The BSG creators know their media and use that knowledge to remind us again and again that this is a show about US right now.
This makes VB go "no, I didn't realize."
That's awesome.
This makes JH go "Yes yes yes"
