Battlestar Galactica

Well, we will finally learn the final pieces of the story in Battlestar Galactica starting later this week (see my earlier link). And you might want to catch the 10 webisodes if you need your fix. While the webisodes are not essential to understand the ongoing story, its a nice way to learn more about the Cylon occupation and Felix Gaeta's role in the whole thing.

I will certainly miss this program. In addition to great writing, it has given us a chance to reflect on the role of civilization. The story lines regarding family, democracy, war and forgiveness are all relevant yet eternal issues, and we get to witness the struggle each week with unique characters that we cannot help caring about.

One positive note about the future is that the creators may take us to the past. A new Caprica series is in the work. I can hardly wait.
