The World of Battlestar Galactica
| Confused by the technobabble? Is there a term that gets thrown around a lot but you can't recall ever hearing it explained? Check the Battlestar Galactica Glossary! And if there's a term that isn't yet defined in the Glossary, add it to the Term column, and someone else can fill in the Definition! | Religion is a major theme on the show, as well as a complicated area of both Human and Cylon ways of life. Define, analyze, and discuss the Lords of Kobol, and the Cylon God, and all the many ways we've seen them worshipped! | The political intrigue of BSG has held up a mirror to our own society since the beginning, but it's also deeply intriguing in its own right! Discuss Roslin and Baltar as leaders, their strengths, weaknesses, their actions good bad and ugly, plus Tom Zarek's radical past and revolutionary causes, and Lee's future in the Quorum of Twelve! |
| There are many ships in the fleet, plus several distinct classes of Cylon vessels. What was the Colonial One's original name? Where is the fleet's black market operating? Fill in the details of each ship's floor plan, passenger manifest, and operational significance. | ||

Guys, I am costarican, we have more than 50 years with no army, maybe you know. I have only seen them in TV shows and CNN.
In the first grades our school teachers always say -and it is generalized idea-, that Costa Rica is different in central america (place of guerrillas, poverty and political corruption) because we had no army. So basically we fear soldiers, wars and armies. It is said that the public inversion went directly to health and education and we avoid some of the political problems the rest had. Costaricans usually hate wars, and of course we don't see with good eyes soldiers. I have to say that in some way, my perspective of soldiers has changed favorably following the show, or at least it has questioned my believes. There is something extremely valuable in a soldiers career: the sacrifice for others. This sacrifice of young good people needs to be for a really important cause. In the show the cause is the survival of the human specie but I am sure that wars do not always have such great cause to be fought.. Just IMHO, Thanks! Michael. |
