Controversies had not been much of an issue for Battlestar Galactica until recently, for they never had to face an opponent as strong as the United Nations. This time, the show is under the scrutiny of an UN panel regarding its showcasing of terrorism, abused human rights and religious conflicts.

The storm gathered last week as Battlestar Galactica approached a conclusion last Friday. Despite the public relations bringing things into alignment, the U.N. made the political seriousness legitimate regarding a series that explored previously the consciousness born after the 9/11 incident.

Over four seasons, Battlestar Galactica has been able to elevate an unaspiring image that the Sci Fi Channel previously sported. Stays responsible an idea on coexistent faith and democracy punched with intellectual rigor and an indistinctness; all of these factors molded out the series as a clean slate that allows any sort of speculation.

Those who are still unaware of what Battlestar Galactica exactly stands for, for them:

It is a TV series that tells the story of the human race under a threat from the robot tribe they created for their own purpose. Kind of a Frankenstein story, now the Cylons have turned the table by enslaving the humans. The Cylons are devout followers to a single god and this is where controversies started. Their religious extremism is identical to the Islamic fundamentalists while the politically aggressive sect of humans is an indicative of the Christian rights. However, the finale shows us the dividing line between humans and the Cylons dissolve and an opportunity emerging for a more acute and contemporary symbolism. Now, isn’t that the post-racial world we all dream about?
