Wanna buy five copies for my mother

It’s not the cover, but it will do. The latest Rolling Stone Magazine features an article about none other than Battlestar Galactica.

What I found to be most interesting was that both Ron Moore and David Eick were political science majors. Go figure… This article also helped me to realize that it is because the show is on the Sci Fi Channel, they are able to be a bit more edgier because as Ron Moore says “…in sci-fi, they don't notice or care so much -- you get a free pass." However, this article leaves me asking if BSG is so impressive why it doesn’t receive more mainstream recognition? The Golden Globes were all over the show Lost, why not BSG? Maybe we want it this way. The alternative is a show far less willing to explore so many prickly topics. If BSG were on NBC, would we get the same show? Doubtful. I, for one, will keep paying for cable so I may enjoy a science fiction series with meaning and relevance. Please enjoy the article here.
