Battlestar Galactica

io9.com's Annalee Newitz wrote an interesting article on why Battlestar Galactica didn't need space because it was social fiction, not science fiction.
"Critically-acclaimed TV series Battlestar Galactica broke one of the cardinal rules of hard science fiction: It wasn't really about science. Instead it was hard social fiction, a realistic look at the future of human culture.

Teddy Wilson --    Last Friday we all watched the end of one of the best sci-fi series in history.  And, after the 2 hour finale, we here at SPACE dug our shovels into the earth and broke some new ground of our own, with our first big live broadcast, “Fandom Forum Battlestar Galactica”.  Really awesome to have a live audience here in our SPACE-home (with Ajay Fry anchoring from the crowd), along with Natasha Eloi out in Vancouver by satellite with the 13th Colony BSG Fan Club, and live chatting online.

I was lucky enough to host the proceedings...

Now that you’ve had a few days to absorb the finale of Battlestar Galactica, what do you really think? Is it just me, or areyou noticing a measure of silence from the hard-core fans online as they try to articulate some notes of disappointment, despite an overarching love of the series.

The recaps are in, and the discussions have been flying all weekend. Was the Battlestar Finale good for you?  I still can’t believe the series is over, and while I was happy with the ending, there were some unresolved bits that left us fans yammering on over the weekend. 
SPOILERS, of course, after the jump.

For those of you who missed the special on Friday, Sci Fi has posted it online.You can also re-watch the finale (cuz you were watching it live with us, right?) right now on our videoplayer.  Click here to watch Daybreak Pt. 2.
