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.

We have guided missiles and misguided men.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr http://www.webomatica.com/wordpress/2008/06/14/battlestar-galactica-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.
