Battlestar Galactica

I’ve got it. Hot Chicks = Cylons. It totally makes me laugh out loud.

If you haven’t seen or heard about this show or even know what I’m talking about then this might be a post you’ll want to skip, but instead of doing that I suggest you watch the series from the beginning. As far as television goes, I haven’t seen something as inspiring as this show since Dead Like Me. My thanks to friends like Dan, Sam, and Dean for their recommendations.
That being said, I’m halfway through season 2, and for being a show about humanity’s inevitable and deserving destruction, I haven’t seen anything more promoting or convincing of Humanities worthiness of preservation for a long time. I haven’t looked up the commentary about the show yet either. I’m sure they’re full of comments about how broad and far reaching the topics of this sci fi show really are. Arguments and portrayals are made in the arena of: Might Makes Right, Religion and it’s role in our humanity, Love, Church vs. State, the separation of powers, Forgiveness, Bravery, and the list goes on…

I will be the first to admit that I spend a great amount of time in stories. I read constantly, watch on average 3-5 movies a week, and genuinely enjoy the time I spend engaging with the media I choose to ingest in my daily routine. I say this so that you’ll have some notion that this recommendation does not come ill informed or even lightly. I would recommend this show to anyone.

so if you’ll make some time i think you’ll be very happy with your investment.
