Battlestar Galactica Season 2 Finale

I can't wait for Season 3. The machines have played Gauis Baltar since day one. Toyed with him. Stroked his ego. Helped him become President of the 12 colonies. But now he is President of nothing. The machines used and exploited human emotions to win the war.

The issues of the series relates so much to what is happening in our reality. If only people would wake up and watch this series. It isnt about the technobable. It isnt about the special effects. It isnt about the cool battle scenes. Its about us, and where we're going as a race.

Best show on the planet right now. Someone elect me President of the world please. I will make this show compulsary viewing for all.

Some other reviews for this series:

"This is simply the finest show on television, bar none. The setting is both futuristic and heavily "science-fiction" but the show is about the characters and the human drama that accompanies the near destruction of the entire human race.

Commander (now Admiral) Adama is played masterfully by James Edward Olmos. His interaction with his crew and specifically his son define much of the drama in the first season of the show.

The other supporting characters are similarly developed and there are more than a few tear jerking moments in addition to the remarkable special effects that lend an air of gritty believability to the series not usually present in typical science fiction."


"Look, I've been a nerd for years and have enjoyed Star Trek, Stargate and all the ones in-between (?). I really love Battlestar, especially mid way through season 2 as the multiple threads that has been hinted on in the series (god purpose, Apollos rise to greatness, Starbucks transformation into what she hates all be it succeeding in her career).

I would put this show on the same level as Lost or Prison break for insight and imaginative direction. The only thing that frustrates me is that it has been pegged as a sci-fi so there are a lot of people that will never bother to even watch.

So if you’re unsure, just watch the Mini series or even just Ep 1 of the first series. You'll get sucked in and thank all of us nerds for the evolution of class television from nerdy sources."

"This last friday I got my 65 year old nurse of a mother to watch the show all the way through. While we didn't discuss if she liked the show, i knew she did, as an only child i tend to know her pretty well. When i show someone a new show and want them to like it, i always dread an episode that is even more out there than others. Feb 24th was one such, taking place primarily off the ship and for the first time, i didn't mind. The superb directing, acting and story writing won us over.
With the constraints of the original story, sci-fi has done an amazing job with this show and led me to rate it as trnd setting."
