review 1: "Excellent Physics Lesson 4.0 Based on BSG!"What made listening to The Science of Battlestar Galactica the most enjoyable for me was the comparison of BSG to actual human life. ARE we creating our own Cylons like Frankenstein? Sentient is another word for consciousness or the ability to be aware of oneself. This audiobook was full of greatness! My favorite characters are the ones who created the Cylons. What I like about Tom Dheere’s performance is that he keeps a steady pace while speaking that I can keep up with. He has great flow. I didn't have an extreme reaction to this book however I did really enjoy all the BSG information."It's just a show I should really just relax." I really enjoyed this book.
review 2: As "Science Of..." books go, this one was bett... moreer than most. Given that entire books could be made out of each chapter and still not exhaust the topics, the authors did an admirable job of boiling down the concepts to their essence and giving some firm scientific backing and theoretical speculation on the science side of this particular science-fiction show.BSG did a lot in the way of research in an attempt to make the science at least plausible, without making the story the slave to the science. As is mentioned several times, (Ron) Moore's Law made sure that the science never got in the way of telling a compelling story. And yet, for the majority of the show, the technology is a plausible extension of our current capabilities, which is very nice.Fans of the show who also have an interest in astronomy or physics will really appreciate this book. less
