Law blog Concurring Opinions has posted the first half of an hour long interview with Ron Moore and David Eick. Here's their description of the topics, which sound intriguing and unusual:
Part I, available today in two files, focuses on the issues of legal systems and morality. It examines the lawyers and trials in the show. It also examines how torture is depicted, as well as how the humans must balance civil liberties and security.
Part II examines politics and commerce. It explores how the cylon attack affected the humans' political system, and it examines how commerce works in the fleet.
Part III examines issues related to cylons, such as the humans' treatment of cylons, how robots should be treated by the law, how the cylons govern themselves politically. Additionally, Part III will explore the religious issues involved in the show.
...we plan to post Part II on Monday and Part III on Tuesday. So please stay tuned. More is on the way, and Parts II and III are really terrific!
These are .WAV audio files for download or stream.
Apparently the law profession (especially the professors) love them some BSG.
