This site will show you how powers of persuasion can be discovered and examined inside Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek. The same holds true concerning Ronald D. Moore's Battlestar Galactica. Ronald D. Moore had producer and/or writer responsibilities on three of the Star Trek television spin-off series and two of the Star Trek motion pictures. Therefore, if there is any science fiction television franchise that has earned the right to be called a successor to the persuasive power in Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek, it most definitely is Ronald D. Moore's Battlestar Galactica. You will learn here what the 21st century version of Battlestar Galactica has to teach us about the persuasive power of science fiction space adventures on television and in movies. Battlestar Galactica persuades audiences about politics and religion using science fiction storytelling techniques pioneered by Star Trek as explained by writer Woody Goulart.
