Book Reviews of So Say We All: An Unauthorized Collection of Thoughts and Opinions on Battlestar Galactica (Smart Pop series)
Book Review: Pretty good; above expectations
Summary: 4 Stars
For a book of essays this was pretty good with the usual mix of very interesting, thoughtful, well written, and entertaining articles with some that simply filled up 20 pages by re-telling me things I already knew about the show before finally making their point or prattling on about subjects I'm not interested in.
The first half of the book is very religion heavy and as someone who does not like that aspect of the show so much I found these essays really boring and skipped most of them. Some essays attempt to be humorous and are pretend addresses to congress or Cylon meeting minutes, and yet others get far too intellectual for my liking with their theorems and axioms.
The more enjoyable essays look at the moral ambiguity and things that go in to the show to make us think about the goings on in the world today.
Another couple look at the differences between the original series and the new one including what things were kept and re-imaged or taken as inspiration for events in the new series.
One details an author's hatred of the Miniseries and then his surprise liking of the new show once the seasons started.
There are also some articles where female authors finger themselves off over the wonderfully strong, intelligent, attractive, skilful and complex female characters in the new series, which of course is so true.
Yet more look at fascism and the role of the media in space, and to top it all off the book has an interesting and well written introduction and ending by Richard Hatch.
All in all a good read and I enjoyed at least half of the essays in this book. A must for all serious Battlestar Galactica fans.
