Who’da thunk it? A sci-fi show actually winning a Peabody Award?
The new Battlestar Galactica has won an award for 2006. (Okay. They also chose South Park. But really. That’s a brilliant show.)
Per the press release:
A belated, brilliantly re-imagined revival of a so-so 1970s outer-space saga, the series about imperiled survivors of a besieged planet has revitalized sci-fi television with its parallax considerations of politics, religion, sex, even what it means to be “human.” NBC Universal Television Studio.
Makes you just want to give Baltar a big ol’ squishy hug, doesn’t it?
