Judith Brandy at Sciencefictionbuzz.com has written an excellent article about how Battlestar Galactica tackles the tough issue of breast cancer and what the show has meant to her as a survivor:
"This article is an encouraging reminder to all my work-a-holic, Battlestar Galactica fans who may have taken a minute to read this, to all those who may be getting chemotherapy and thinking life is the pits. Laura Roslin is noble and presidential. We're lucky; we don't have 47,000+ people looking to us for guidance. We have more time than our Battlestar counterpart to pursue our personal goals. We have next to no excuse for procrastination. If your passion is knitting - KNIT. . Cook something, if you like cooking. If you're a writer, write some Battlestar Galactica or Star Trek fanfiction. The joy of fanfiction is that unless it's absolutely horrible, it's usually well-received. Make a website about it. DO SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF."
Do something for yourself and read this article! It is sort of a rallying cry to all SciFi fans to embrace that which gives you passion. I couldn't agree more.
