"Though the series was ostensibly a space-set soap opera about killer robots chasing humans across the cosmos, Battlestar Galactica‘s true focus was always on how we, as a people, choose to exist as a society," Brandon Katz says amid the 2020 Presidential Election drama. "The show mapped out the intersection between liberal progressivism and conservative power dynamics, finding middle ground and even an exchange of viewpoints. Often, it turned out, our political affiliations were dependent on the context of a given situation, highlighted by the varied grabs for and transfers of power that Battlestar Galactica oversaw."
