The "good guys" in Galactica routinely champion racism, attempt genocide, practice terrorism (including suicide bombing), torture prisoners, steal elections, assassinate the inconvenient, mutiny, and execute prisoners without trial. And they make the viewer see the justifications (and the rationalizations) for it. There’s definitely no moral high ground here.

You'll see her play many versions of Six over the entire series arc, and with an impressive range. In some she suffers abuse at the hands of colonists that's painful to watch, like somebody beating a beautiful golden retriever. In others, she's the one doing the beating. No moral high ground in Battlestar Galactica II. And when you get to the ending, I'm here if you want to talk about it. I know I did. Magnificent performances.
