Let me begin by saying that BSG is simply the best series out on the tube right now. I watched the series so far in rerun and liked it immensely. Not only does it cater to a thirst for sci fi but also has a strong drama.. a story which could as well be unfolding at capitol hill…
Humanity and tenants of its behavior may not change just because of advancement in civilization is a significant point this series puts forth, looking back at our history so far makes it seem plausible...
Past sci fi series like Star Trek portrayed an advanced civilization (including humanity) as an enlightened race... free from sins and with higher sense of morality. However how much have we changed in the past 500 years or so of our advancement? We still wage wars for trivial reasons; look upon life as expendable and with a patchy view of morality.
BSG builds on this fact in a very realistic manner. Looking forward to the final season this Friday….
