Even When It's Bad, It's Good
Battlestar Galactica, Sci Fi Channel's remake of the classic science fiction series, lost its way last season. Some of the Cylons, the machines dedicated to the destruction of humanity, developed consciences. In the final episode, four more human characters were delivered over, in a joblot, to the Cylons. The show's moral relativism was immensely refreshing in a genre generally given to absolutes; but, by the end of the third season, the struggle between man and machine has become so murky that one hardly cares. That said, Battlestar Galactica remains the most sophisticated science fiction series every made for television. The final season begins next week. (Most exciting moment, this month: lining up like a fanboy for photos with Boomer and Number Six, at Sci Fi Channel's upfront at the Morgan Library. Yes.) Via Vulture, a fellow dork, here are some witty Battlestar Galactica posters, in the style of World War Two propaganda. ENLARGE »
