More BSG (no spoilers)

That's Archie?! omfg, it is too!

Is it just me, or does Madam President look a little like Monica Lewinsky?

Meant to grumble at the Trek cliche of alienated son and father. Dad (typically dead, missing, or alienated) is always the most crucial thing in everyone's lives in TNG. (Unless you're Geordi.)

Or, more accurately in most cases, by Baby Mamas who want to nail the Baby Daddy for child support (and 90% of the time, rightly so)

But really, there was more a general point there about sons (and daughters) growing up alienated, apart, and otherwise without their fathers, which there's an awful lot of in today's culture. Which is why I don't think it's actually as much a cliche as we'd like to think.
