- Explores philosophical issues arising from the re-imagined
Battlestar Galactica
television series (recently renewed for a fourth season, which will air on Sky One in the UK and on the US Sci Fi channel in 2008)
- Demonstrates how the “ragtag” fleet’s outward
journey to Earth is also an inward
exploration for the human survivors and their Cylon pursuers
- Reveals how every character wrestles with existential, moral,
metaphysical, theological, and political crises
- Addresses some of the key questions that even the Colonials won’t find easy answers to when they reach Earth, such as: “Is it ethical to cut one’s losses and leave people behind?”; “Is collaboration with the enemy ever the right move?”, “Is it okay to lie to give people hope?” and “Is humanity a ‘flawed’ creation?”
