When sci-fi and real events collide.

Battlestar Galactica's season 2 finale airs tonight at 10:00: "But with each passing week, it becomes increasingly obvious how right they were. 'Galactica' feels like an outer space version of a dark, philosophically inclined war movie like 'Platoon' or 'Saving Private Ryan.' It shows humanity in a struggle not just to survive but to understand itself, and it consistently challenges viewers to examine and defend their own beliefs. Aside from 'Deadwood,' it's the least complacent show on TV -- a reminder that the medium can illuminate as well as entertain. "
