Folks, after South Park, Battlestar Gallactica is the closest mirror to current society and political topics of all current TV shows.
Great acting, great writing, fair and balanced.
Tonight, the show returns, with the colonists under control of the Cylons, while Adama and the fleet who fled before the Cylon invasion, ponder whether or not to attempt a rescue mission.
Its good stuff! Dont miss it. 7pm Central time.
thanks for the thread...wasnt that impressed with season opener though.
I loved the first 2 seasons. Will not watch any more. They are trying so hard to parallel the Colonial resistance to the Iraqies that it is sick. The IED scene and many other references make the parallel undeniable. The references to spreading God's word (ongoing throughout the series) and the use of Christian references by the Cylons is offensive. The authors of the show are making the following parallels.
US = Cylons
Christians = Cylons
Iraq Resistance = Colonial Resistance
Total, offensive, junk.
Yeah...this one was just.....blah...
