Cylons in America : critical studies in Battlestar Galactica, edited by Tiffany Potter and C.W. Marshall

We’ve recently acquired a number of books that look at films and television shows with a critical eye but Cylons in America does so with an exceptionally readable and fascianting perspective. Battlestar Galactica doesn’t shy away from controversial issues and this book examines how these play out over the course of the series and how the writers and producers have woven current events into a space opera with social and political undertones.

And for those looking to brush up on the finer points of the series, there’s the indispensable Battlestar Galactica Wiki.
