Terrorism and politics on Battltestar Galactica

The idea of a terrorist running for vice president of the colonies seemed a farfetched premise for a storyline for Battlestar Galactica Scifi.com seemed to pull it off, the writers for the mini series brought the sensitive subject matter of terrorism to the screen. I thought they did a great job showing how politics can be even more dangerous, than the most ruthless of terrorist who only hopes to bring down the ragtag government, suppressing his ideals and beliefs whether they be right or wrong. I think the writers are showing great creativity in their story lines bringing some of today's issues into stories of the future. The creators and writers seem to bring into their scripts and storylines, a lot of today's important social issues such as politics, religion, terrorism, and race. I am proud to say I am a huge fan of the show and hope it continues to make us all think about where society is coming from and where it is heading, as all the star trek series did throughout the many years it aired and continues to air through syndication
