Battlestar Galactica - "Epiphanies"
The new Battlestar Galactica (BSG) on the SciFi Channel has a knack for examining our world through the microcosm of the remnants of the human race making up the Colonial Fleet. Peter Suderman has an excellent review of BSG over at National Review Online.
The 20 January episode, "Epiphanies," examined medical therapies that use fetal cells, the humanity of the unborn, terrorism, and fifth columnist extremists. Jonah Goldberg comments on the episode over in the Corner at NRO (WARNING: link contains spoilers for the episode). My reaction was right in line with Jonah's.
