Hey, You Know What You Should Do? In which we tell you about awesome things that you must look into and enjoy. Watch Battlestar Galactic (x2) You should immediately watch the 2004 remake of Battlestar Galactica! BSG is not the cheesy science fiction show you think it is. It’s a gritty military drama about human nature that just happens to be set in space. Sure it involves murderous androids bent on genocide, epic space battles, and the last bastion of humanity running for their lives across the galaxies. And ok there’s also mythical prophesies at work, angels helping the cause and a race that has conquered immortality. So really it just depends on your definition of cheesy. There are no aliens, just the morally ambiguous Cylons, a race of androids who develop consciousness and turn on their creators. They succeed in decimating all inhabitable planets and most of the human race. They’ve evolved past their clunky robotic forms into ones that mimic humans, complete with emotions, nerve endings and a fiercely devout religious culture - sometimes it feels like this development was instituted solely for shots of hot robot action but is that really a downside? Over the course of four seasons the Cylons evolve past rudimentary characters with a group mind to fledgling souls struggling with their place in the universe and the destruction they originally set upon with such abandon. The series revolves around the last fifty thousand survivors trying to hold on to civilization on board a rag tag group of spaceships searching out new planet to call home. At its heart BSG is about people thrust into desperate situations and the terrible choices they have to make for survival. After a steady diet of Gene Roddenberry’s picture of the future it’s a grim portrayal, but it’s a refreshing edginess that holds the hint of actual possibility.-AS Have you ever watched a show that made [...]
