This week we are discussing the introductory miniseries of the rebooted Battlestar Galactica as a kind of "culmination" of our recent robot/AI-themed episodes. For once we both really like the show, and we dissect how it deals with the complex issues of technology and religion as well as the question of "fatherhood" with respect to both characters in the show as well as the dynamic between the Cylons and humanity.
We open the episode by going over recent events, including the escalating war between Israel and Iran, Trump's military parade, the No Kings protests, and the assassination of a Minnesota state politician by a man in a life-like mask. Dark stuff!
This episode contains spoilers for the first miniseries of Battlestar Galactica.
