Thoughts on Galactica

Been watching the BSG S2 DVDs and have a interesting insight: they are pro-torture. Starting in Pegasus we are introduced to Pegasus-6; a woman was part of the crew of the Pegasus, went into cylon rage, and killed a number of the crew. As a result of this, she was imprisoned, raped and tortured leading her to want oblibion. This desire leads her to tell Gaius what the puropose of the Resurrection Ship was, she explicitly told him what it was so he could destroy so when she dies she cannot be reborn.

A clear endorsement of the effectiveness of torture.
