I've been hearing some rumbles that Battlestar Galactica (BSG) would play its last full season online, which would have been wrong, just wrong.
Fortunately for us, BSG will get started Friday, April 4 at 10pm on the SciFi Channel. The week before, March 28, they will do a "catch up" show for those of you who want to get into the show, but have never watched it. Of course, the catch up isn't as good as watching the miniseries and the first three seasons, but I would definitely recommend it.
BSG doesn't do anything that other science fiction in outer space shows didn't do. It fictionalizes contemporary issues to give us a different view of what it means to be at war. Because, on the surface, BSG is about war, the consequences of war, and starting over when the enemy is among you and around you. But ultimately, it is about how we handle war and whether we preserve or lose our humanity in it. There are big picture and small picture things, humour mixed in it all and whether you find yourself avidly against or on the fence when it comes to the "bad guys", you have to admit that this is one entertaining show.
