An AMAZING show imho.

Battlestar Galactica, or BSG, is a franchise of American science fiction films and television series , the first of which was produced in 1978. A series of book adaptations, original novels, comic books and video games have also been based on the concept. A re-imagined miniseries aired in 2003, with a regular television series starting in 2004.

All of the Battlestar Galactica productions share the same premise: In a distant part of the universe, a civilization of humans live on planets known as the Twelve Colonies. In the past, the Colonies have been at war with a cybernetic race known as the Cylons. With the help (knowing or unknowing) of a human named Baltar, the Cylons launch a sudden sneak attack on the Colonies, laying waste to the planets and devastating their populations. A few thousand of the human survivors flee into space aboard any spacecraft they can reach. Of all the Colonial Fleet, the Battlestar Galactica appears to be the only military ship that survived the attack. Under the leadership of famed military leader Commander Adama, the Battlestar Galactica and its crew take up the task of leading the ragtag fugitive fleet of survivors into space in search of a fabled refuge known as Earth.

Despite attempts to revive the series over the years, none came to fruition until it was reimagined in 2003 by Universal Television in association with Sky One and the Sci Fi Channel with Ronald D. Moore as the creative force behind it. Edward James Olmos stepped into the role of Commander Adama. A weekly new Galactica series followed, premiering on Sky One in the UK and Ireland in October 2004, and on Sci-Fi in the U.S. in January 2005.



In December 2003, the American Sci Fi channel broadcast a three-hour miniseries that reimagined Battlestar Galactica. This miniseries was so successful that Sci-Fi opted to develop this new version of Galactica into a television series.


Featuring critically-acclaimed veteran actors Edward James Olmos as Commander William Adama and Mary McDonnell as President Laura Roslin, the new series first aired in the UK and Ireland on Sky One in October 2004. The series debuted in North America on the Sci-Fi Channel in January 2005.

An edited version of the "pilot" miniseries was broadcast on NBC—a corporate sibling of the Sci-Fi Channel—on January 9, 2005, five days before the Sci-Fi series premiere.[citation needed] NBC also aired three selected first-season episodes to promote the show in advance of the second-season premiere in July 2005. Three seasons aired on Sci-Fi and Sky One between 2005 and 2007. A two-hour "prequel" film, Battlestar Galactica: Razor, aired on Sci-Fi on Saturday November 24, 2007. A fourth, reportedly final, season is scheduled to begin airing April 4, 2008.[6][7] Although 20 episodes were ordered for the fourth season, only 11 were finished before the Writers Guild strike shut down production in November 2007.[8]

The series has won widespread acclaim among many mainstream non-genre publications. Time magazine,[9] Rolling Stone magazine[10] and New York Newsday[11] named it the best show on television in 2005. Other publications like The New York Times,[12] The New Yorker[13] and National Review[14] also gave the show positive reviews.



The webisodes were a series of shorts produced to promote the third season of the show. They filled in some of the events between the second and third seasons and featured some of the main cast. These webisodes were made so as not to reveal what would happen in the beginning of season three. Season 3 was also set up so that missing the webisodes would not leave a viewer confused about the story.

Each of the ten webisodes was approximately three minutes in length, and they were released twice a week leading up to the U.S. Season 3 premiere.

Battlestar Galactica: Razor is a television film produced and broadcast in the gap between Seasons 3 and 4. It chronicles events on Battlestar Pegasus in two time periods, both of which are "in the past" with respect to the Season 4 continuity. The "present day" framing scenes are set during Lee Adama's command, in the latter half of Season 2, while "flashback" scenes depict Helena Cain's command in the period between the Cylon attack and the reunion with Galactica in the second season episode Pegasus. It aired in the United States and Canada on November 24 and in Britain and Ireland on December 18, 2007. An expanded version was released on DVD on December 4, 2007. (source: WIKIPEDIA)

One thing I must agree with satman on. The sub sequential seasons haven't been as good, but season 1 was amazing. Lax, your dad fails at opinions. Epic fail.

BSG reminds me of Space Mutiny. That movie they showed on MST3K.

BIG MCLARGEHUGE!

Sounds like Star Trek to the extreme? Or is it more like Star Wars, where it's cute as long as you don't do Darth Vader imitations?

Actually, I think most of us who were around for the original series dislike the new series. When you know Starbuck to be played by Dirk Benedict (yes, Face from the A-team for you youngsters) it's hard to picture him as a woman. Sure, technological the old series is highly inferior to the new ones, but I just can't get into this new series. It's like hearing Dido sing Heaven when you grew up with the version Brian Adams sang.

[Master_Mind]

Stargate series is the best!

Well no...i have see the original battlestar and have all of it on DVD (even the shitty
1980's one), and the thing is they are VERY different...the original one is camp and
plays up...it knows its a kid show, so it doesn't deliver to much.

Where as the new version is more series, it deals of modern issues and adult themes.
Also the new version just seems more realistic and just works better.

[avenqerz]

It's a frakin' beautiful thang!

[TOloseGT]

thank the gods u guys are all frakked, cylons to earth ftw!

[XemnasXD]

Can't you just google it?

a most unexpected response. How clever of you lol

The issue is not so much that the new series isn't good. It just isn't Battlestar Galactica anymore. They could have achieved the same result by calling the new series something completely different, and not have it be compared to the old series by those who know it.
