Dr. A and I recently watched the newBattlestar Galactica flickThe Plan, which tells the BSG saga from the vantage point of the Cylon skin jobs. The Dean Stockwell Cylon dude, John (number one) Cavil, was the main character. It was pretty good for a direct to DVD release. Then, I noticed today that the dread Glenn Beck is peddling something that he calls, uh, The Plan. It’s not the most original name for a, uh, plan but Glenn Beck being a Cylon could explain a great deal. He’s creepy, manipulative and robotic as well as a convertedMormon. Hmm, I wonder if Mitt Haircut is a Cylon too? Probably not. Yeah, I know, it wasGlen Larsonthe creator of the *original* BSG who was an LDS’er. Glen? There’s that name again only with one N. Holy crap, I sound like Glenn Beck spinning one of his wild conspiracy theories, which could be called eitherThe Case Of The Missing N*or*N Is For Nutjob…
I’m not sure which Cylon model Beck most resembles. I’m not sure if he’s more like the ineffectual skin job, number 5, who was a suicide bomber or the really creepy number 2 who had a sick thing for Starbuck. Any thoughts?
