This episode was a mirror, showing how despite hope for a bright technological future, we’re simultaneously on the knife’s edge of destruction. In one episode, Battlestar Galactica moved beyond the addictive, nit-picky details like “who is the last Cylon?” and “how did Tigh get Six pregnant?” and reminded me of the big picture - our irrepressibly hopeful yet frustratingly misguided humanity. Enter Doctor Zee - The Fifth Cylon “The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr http://www.webomatica.com/wordpress/2008/0...ca-revelations/ And so, Battlestar Galactica is reduced to a simple fable – we run from our past, believing the future holds something better for our species, while praying we can rise above our dark “human nature” before we do ourselves in.
