That's why I'm not too sure what to make of the ending - were we supposed to be more sceptical of the 'hey, they're all people! Give them a break, their hearts are in the right place!' message because the Cylons were behind it?
That's really our only hope for the episode being anything other than stupid and annoying.
It occured to me that the episode would have been much better if it were Playa doing the documentary. I mean, she's a journalist we already know, she *has* asked difficult questions and caused significant trouble by doing so. It would have been less an outsider's POV than a different POV from inside, and that would have been much more interesting.
But, I hate being told that to an outsider our heroes look like heroes. I don't want to be told how to interpret a text. It makes me sulky and resentful and turns me to such perversions as Delenn/Lennier shipping and Warrior Caste apologetics. Not that I'm even sure what the BSG equivalent of such perversions would be.
