'Galactica' transcending sci-fi
By John Coffren
Baltimore Sun
"Battlestar Galactica" may be headed where no space opera has gone before, rocketing through the glass ceiling to be recognized as (gasp!) drama.
Like a handful of science fiction works - think Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" or George Orwell's "1984" - the reworking of the campy 1978-79 television series, which begins its third season at 9 tonight on the Sci-Fi Channel, may transcend its genre.
