About the soundtrack of the show

the composer(s) of Battlestar Galactica tried to unite various styles of world music, and to avoid melodic themes. It has to do with the overarching theme of the show - it's about Earth, rather than one or two powerful countries (eg 24 is entirely about the United States, while Doctor Who has a strong England flavor to it). Every culture is meant to be treated equally here. But still, it's an American television program, and it speaks English. Actually a lot of the spaceship- related dramas of this century have tried this multiculturalism thing. Firefly, for example, is set in a future where Chinese is a universal language (which is the language that I grew up speaking, therefore you may find this review having poor grammar).

Commander William Adama: [giving a speech in the Hanger Deck] We have struggled since the attacks... trying to rely on one another. Our strength and our only hope as a people, is to remain undivided. We haven't always done all we could to insure that. Many people believe that the scriptures, the letters from the gods, will lead us to salvation. Maybe they will. But the gods shall lift those who lift each other." And so, to lift all of us, let me present once again the president of the colonies, Laura Roslin.
[many members of the audience applaud but some do not. Adama walks to the crowd and begins to clap in rhythm. The crowd slowly catches on and eventually the entire Hanger Deck is applauding in rhythm as a sign of respect for the reinstated president]

Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: [Starbuck had sex with Baltar] I don't owe you anything.
Captain Lee 'Apollo' Adama: No, you don't owe me anything 'cause I'm just a C.A.G., and you're just a pilot!
Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: Right.
Captain Lee 'Apollo' Adama: Pilot who can't keep her pants on.
Lt. Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace: Right.
Captain Lee 'Apollo' Adama: Oh, it is just like old times, Kara. Like when you got drunk and you couldn't keep your hands off that major from wherever...
[Starbuck punches Apollo, and Apollo instantly punches her right back]
