Philosophy, Theology, and Politics in BSG

Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: Battlestar Galactica: Philosophy, Theology, and Politics in BSG
Few shows on television have been as provocative on the existential questions and issues of life: what does it means to be human, the nature of good and evil, should the practical trump our principles?

Yes, these are all subjects covered in greater latitude and detail in the Religious, Political, and Legal Musings boards, but rather than scatter our discussions across the Nitcentral universe, let's consolidate them here, and I as the moderator will cross-link discussions as appropriate or as requested.
