First and foremost, a brilliant beginning to a show that has been consistently one of the greatest on television. From the acting of all the major (and minor) players, to the brilliant scripting, to the seamless blend of often disparate thematic elements, Battlestar Galactica is constantly delivering top-notch television, surpassing just about everything on the major networks, and on par with shows on HBO and Showtime.
But, now on to the real point of the post. One of the previous reviewers had stated that the third seasons parallels to the Iraq war were far to blatant and removed the viewer from the show, and I couldn't disagree more. Since it's inception, BSG (created by two polisci majors) has been about drawing parallels between the drama of the crew and the drama of real life. From Rosalyn's LBG-esquire inception, to this weeks full-blown insurgency, there has been no disguising that Ronald Moore and Co. have been using Battlestar Galactica as a way to reflect society in a surprising way, a way that both enlightens and entertains. That, my dear friends, is what Science Fiction is supposed to do, it's creation is meant to challenge the way we see things, to reshape our views using a medium that allows for the fantastic. And no one on the field of Scifi, from authors, to film writers, to TV producers, does a better job than the cast, crew, and creators of BSG.
Thank you thank you thank you, -Miles
