Battlestar Galactica is over, one of the best TV show I witnessed in my life
concluded in March of 2009 with an epic final episode that brought many issues
to attention. The series features an everlasting struggle between humanity ingenuity
creating AI vs uber Cylon bots understanding what it takes to face destiny.
The fiction that was crated to amuse our eyes and brains was good enough to poke
our intellect and to face a possible future of our own. Why? Because BSG describes
a civilization outside out solar system that reflects our planet! They face the same issue
that we have, yet they are overwelmed by their creations and their future is in the deep
cold space vacum.
BSG isn't about fiction, it's telling us that we are what we are and creating artificial life
can pose a threat to ourself. Why? Because we don't know boundaries and we keep
seeking the unknown. Life without blood but impulses into circuits is what it's all about,
the attention is focused on "OUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES"!
From humans to cold chrome cylons to skinjobs, the actions taken by each of them
had their conquences because free-will is applied.
Humans decided to move out from Kobol, planets were colonized, they created artificial life
that could understand better than their creators,mayhem generates as humans are nuked
by their crations; humanity is in space escaping extintion.
We risked many times a total wipe out, yet we are keen to forget it because history
has alienated us!
What happened in BSG is a vision of what can happen to our kind, to our planet, simply
because our political values can overthrown our humanistic priciples; and we can find ourself
with rocks and stones in our hands.
Felloship, problems, love and hate is a wild ride that totally reflects our species from a planet
into bunch of lost space ships. Life is all about one quarter to the other, from one deck to the
next one. Forests, rivers and mountains are a thing of the past that is missing from the whole
scenario.
