\nWell…almost. In just four short days, one of the most spiritual shows in the history of television, and surely the one with the deepest exploration of the complexities of religion, finally returns to the Sci-Fi Channel for its fourth and final season.
\nIt’s been almost a year since we last saw the surviving citizens of the 12 colonies of Kobol, when Tory, Sam, Galen, and Saul all discovered they were four of the final five Cylons models; when Starbuck apparently returned from the dead, Viper intace, to tell Lee Adama she had been to Earth and was going to lead everybody there; and when Gaius was hidden away by an emerging cult who apparently think he may be some kind of messiah.
\nThere’s a lot to talk about, so in the meantime, join the Beliefnet group Battlestar Galactica: Religion, Ethics, and Identity<\/a> and share your thoughts for the upcoming grand finale!
\nJoin the group now<\/a>!
\nPlus:<\/strong> Are you freaking out because of the absence of Lost<\/a>? Fear not! Only five more weeks til new episodes start. In the meantime, share your frustration and talk about what’s happened so far with other Lost fans with this group: “Lost” in Faith<\/a>
