Battlestar Galactica

Battlestar Galactica is on the cover of Entertainment Weekly this week! Finally! For a magazine that always gave props to The X-Files when it really was a cult show and not that many people were watching it AND it was the best show on TV-well, I kept wondering why they would occasionally mention it, but never give it the kudos it deserved. people-this IS the best show on TV right now. You will not find a show on TV that will cover politics, religion, life, death, courage, loyalty and selflessness (and often in the same episode). This show will have you questioning what it means to be human-and which is better, human or Cylon? The Cylons don't kill each argue-they all get along and want the same thing. But is that good or bad? The humans fight each other, beleive in different gods and don't really respect what other people believe-but they will fight to the death to survive-even in the face of odds so bad that you can't think about them, even in the face of a traitor (Baltar, what is wrong with you?) who has no problem selling out the human race for his own selfish reasons, even in the face of having to fight a guerilla war with no weapons, no planes and just a few guns. To watch this show is to question just about everything you think you know about, well, everything. some people are uncomfoatable with that-what if a TV show can make you think differently about war? About religion? About duty and loyalty? That can be scary, having your beliefs challenged and this show does that in almost every single episode.

Season premiere October 6 on Sci-Fi-don't miss the best show on TV-and I haven't even gone into the beauty and depth of all the performances-how do they do that every week?
