With the final season of Battlestar Galactica looming on the horizon like a Cylon baseship, the cast of BSG made a recent appearance on Late Night With David Letterman.

Letterman’s Top Ten List for March 19th was titled the “Top Ten Reasons to Watch the New Season of Battlestar Galactica”. If you missed it, you can catch the video over at Youtube.

The cast members come on stage completely in character, poking fun at themselves, Letterman, US politics, the war in Iraq, and even Lost! What does this really mean for the beloved SciFi series? I think it’s an affirmation that it’s finally hit the main stream. People who don’t have the faintest clue what an FTL drive is have now been given a glimpse into the world of BSG. Will it be enough to spark their curiosity and garner new fans? I got a real chuckle out of it, and it’s a must-see for all BSG fans. Any particular reason stand out for you? I know that Reasons 5 and 6 really stand out, but I think my favourite was Reason 1. Talk about art reflecting life!
