Josef Steiff & Tristan D. Tamplin 
Battlestar Galactica and Philosophy [EPUB ebook] 
Mission Accomplished or Mission Frakked Up?

In attempting to retain her ‘human’ side, does Sharon really have free will? Is killing a Cylon murder or garbage disposal? These are some of the questions addressed in this thoughtful collection of writings on the philosophical underpinnings of Battlestar, Galactica. The book includes a brief analysis of the original 1970s and 80s series but concentrates primarily on the episodes, characters, and issues from the entirely reimagined current series (including its fourth and final season, scheduled for airing in early 2008) as well as the two-hour TV movie and direct-to-DVD release Razor.
