This week we discuss a television series that many believe to be an example of prestige science fiction, Battlestar Galactica.
How does the 2004 series relate to the original series from the 1970s? Why did the show launch as a mini-series before launching into full seasons? What made this cast of characters so interesting to watch week after week? What does the word "frack" mean?
