Thomas Pierce, Weekend Edition

We just finished talking to Mary McDonnell, star of "Battlestar Galactica." On the show, she plays Laura Roslin, an ailing president who guides 50,000 human survivors of a nuclear attack through space on their search for a new home planet.

She offered up her thoughts on the end of the series and its relevance to what's happening in the world (Earth, not Caprica) today.

At the end of the interview, our engineer, Parris Morgan, couldn't resist the opportunity to tell McDonnell how "frackin' awesome" the show has been. Her response:

"Frackin awesome to you, man. You're going to be so excited tonight. It's really, really, really something."

The interview airs tomorrow morning, but we promise not to spoil the plot for anyone saving up the last few episodes on the DVR. That's what I'm doing.

But I can't help but wonder: where will we turn for politically-culturally-philosophically relevant Sci-Fi entertainment once the show concludes? Your thoughts?
