Nobody Knows: The Racetrack Video

by Margie

Margaret Racetrack Edmunson Battlestar Galactica Nobody Knows

I have fallen in love with this Racetrack fan video, and not just because I am a fan of Leah Cairns. 

I have yet to see a promo for the fourth season of BSG that does what this video does so brilliantly: capture the steady erosion of hope amongst the people on the Galactica, who cling desperately to their military training and their sense of duty as a way to keep moving forward … even when all seems lost. 

Heading into Season Four it is easy to get excited about the return of the show, our chances to find out more about what is happening and who the fifth Cylon will be, when they will find Earth, and what Earth will look like when they get there. 

But some of the most powerful Battlestar Galactica moments take place far from these grand themes, in the small moments between characters who are desperately trying to psychologically survive the continual onslaught of horrors that seem to have no end.  Many people would fold in the face of such adversity, but the unsung heroes of the Galactica soldier on.
