Noam Chomsky in space

Apropos of my last post, the latest episode of Battlestar Galactica, Dirty Hands, has Gaius Baltar penning a Chomsky-esque diatribe about the stratification of society into class orders. Labor disputes have never made for such good television, let alone science fiction.

Let's see now. In the past season we've covered racism, marriage and fidelity, biological weapons, collaborators, war criminals, military tribunals, and suicide bombing. Now class warfare and the underclasses. This is some damn good TV.
