and BTW, the real story line in BSG is not so much a parallel with Exodus

it is really about humanity and the Cylons attempting to escape the horrors of Cobol, which they misspell as Kobol and think of as an entire planet of verbose code

that is the real reason why the BSG ship eschews most computers and explains the initial Cylon nuking of the humans - the Cylons thought the humans were going adopt legacy systems with Cobol on them
