Battlestar crew goofs off on Letterman March 31, 2008
Posted by Zack in Off Topic | 4 commentsThis may seem off topic, but…actually there’s a hook. Battlestar Galactica has a deep theological subplot. The humans (descended from ancient earthlings) are polytheists, the robots (who are kind of more human than humans) are monotheists. There are all kinds of arguments about the true nature of God. In this fourth and final season we may *meet* God!
If you haven’t gotten into Battlestar, there’s still hope for you. Go buy Season One and watch just the first episode. Then, you’ll be hooked. You’ll have one week to catch up before Season Four starts on Sci-Fi channel on Friday April 4.
It’s almost the best show ever (after Firefly): a really deep, complex political & theological thriller. With spaceships!
I just went to the site, and here’s their promo photo for the new season. See: I’m not exaggerating the religious (er…sacrilegious) component…
