BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
( Sci Fi )
A high-minded war turns into a brutal quagmire. Terrorist sleepers turn the public paranoid. And the victims of an attack find themselves sacrificing liberty to defend it. Sound like any planet you know? The topical parallels became deeper and more chilling in Seasons 2 and 3 of this thinking viewer's space opera. It's like the Iraq Study Group report with starship fights and hot-looking robots. What's more — and what's not as often noted — BG is a pretty mind-blowing work of straight sci-fi, and Season 3's exploration of the mysterious culture of the quasi-human, deeply religious Cylons may be even more compelling than the show's politics.
