We have some returning lecturers and some new people coming into the group.
Season 3 battlestar galactica series#
As the lectures help illuminate much of Battlestar Galactica Universe the Round Tables will help further highlight other themes from within the series including philosophy, religion and science fiction genres. The round tables will have specific topics in order to cover, though we also encourage the audience to join in on the discussion. Following the lectures and screenings there will be a round table discussion with all lead lecturers focusing on the featured season.
Each lecture presented will be paired with a screening from the season it is discussing along with readings centering around the topic of discussion. We will be discussing our political history, feminism, language, writing and time travel in relation to Battlestar Galactica seasons 1 through 4 which aired on the Sci-Fi channel from 2003 to 2009. Now amongst a time of political upheaval as we come upon the 2016 election season that will bring in a new President of the United States we are most thrilled to broaden the discussion via a television show about American politics. With his work on Deep Space Nine, Moore, prior to Battlestar Galactica, utilizes the science fiction narrative to connect with contemporary American culture. Moore is most acclaimed as a screenwriter and producer on Star Trek. The sci-fi series originated in 1978 and was brought back on the air in 2003 by creators Ronald D. Battlestar Galactica has often been described as a narrative in connection to America’s War on Terror stemming from Septemto, as some citizens believe, the American purview today. This year we will attempt to fully bring into scope a television series praised for its multiplicity of political viewpoints veering from its historical context and connection with religion to the present day from a modern American perspective. Vox Populi is pleased to offer another television rewatch after a successful run last year with Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
