Terribly Important, Terribly Insightful, Terribly
Influential, Terribly

Thanks the gods BSG is back on the air… quick thought: In the Galactica universe, habitable planets seem to be in moderate-to-low supply (hence the willingness to settle on a shithole like New Caprica). What’s preventing them from going back to Kobol? Fear of discovery by the Cylons, or the “curse”?

Even to a highly religious society (and that only appears to be about half the survivors), I can’t imagine that superstition would outweigh the need for settlement, and the curse itself seems kind of mild. As for the Cylons, isn’t half the species now allies?
