Everything you were afraid to ask about "Battlestar Galactica"
A complete primer on the smartest sci-fi TV show ... maybe ever.
By Thomas Rogers [2008-04-02]

  • Huh?

    As "science fiction" the series is appalling. One illustration: they can travel between stars yet still use diesel powered trucks planet-side.

    I'm sorry - what does the one have to do with the other?

    They're able to travel between the stars because of a specific invention - hyperdrive. If we somehow discovered similar technology tomorrow, would all of our diesel engines suddenly evaporate or something?
