I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but the new Battlestar Galactica series really is something special. The original series stank of Buckaroo Banzai or Buck Rodgers, very tacky and lacking in substance, but the remake is absolutely groundbreaking. It gets back to the spirit of science fiction in that it is an exploration of what we are and what we could become in a very real way. It just happens to take place in space. It manages to tackle social, political, and even spiritual issues in a way that I've never seen on television or in a movie. I'd recommend watching it from the beginning, as it is for all intents and purposes one long story.
I'm sure you'll be interested to know that latin superstar and political activist Edward James Olmos heads up the cast as Commander Adama.
Take a peek into the BSG thread in Entertainment if you're curious.
