BSG (2003) refused to become another clone of shows like Star Trek or Stargate SG-1 (fun to watch, but little more than fluff). It has great multi-layered characters, and a very compelling storyline. True science fiction takes relevant topics (such as a post 9-11 world) and uses it as the influence for fantastic storytelling. <BR/>I applaud Ronald D. Moore for telling it like it is: Human society (anywhere in the world) is flawed and answers for its actions sooner or later. People today rely way to much on the TV escapism. They don't want to look around and realize that the world is not the 24th century Earth where everyone is happy and content. <BR/>BSG is a well written show, not just as science fiction, but as a human drama as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776184.post-32590358914144684692007-12-21T16:42:00.000+11:002007-12-21T16:42:00.000+11:00Well written but flawed.

For the good guys to acknowledge the evil within them is human, and allows us to reflect on out own lives, and to perhaps root out the evil inside of us. People like you who would like to bomb the Iraqis into accepting our way of life do not make the world a better place. Look inside yourself, instead of ripping apart someone else's creation, why don't you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776184.post-1165038876912481722006-12-02T16:54:00.000+11:002006-12-02T16:54:00.000+11:00the reason you get so many hits from people googli...the reason you get so many hits from people googling dog tags with respect to bsg, is perhaps, like myself they are fans of the show and want some for themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776184.post-1096630996277717202004-10-01T21:43:00.000+10:002004-10-01T21:43:00.000+10:00Nathan

Just ask George Lucas who massacred the integrity of his own work in the name of profits.<br /><br />Perhaps you need to be reminded of the origins of battlestar galctica - not necessarlity mindless escapism but rather a platform for soft-selling Mormonism. Witness http://www.kobol.com/archives/BG-FAQ.html#E21 (and other sources).<br /><br />I'm not being paranoid! BSG is a lot of fun, but the Llatter Day Saints got their first, I'm afraid.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Stephen<br /><br />PS Love your blog - keep up the good workShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02970238168875949105noreply@blogger.com
