An updating and re-imagining of the classic 1970s sci-fi television show, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA combines elements of STAR TREK, STAR WARS, and THE TERMINATOR. Human beings built the android Cylons to work as servants for them, only to have the robots rebel and disappear into space. A generation later, however, the Cylons returned to destroy their former masters, and succeeded in eliminating the 12 worlds that mankind inhabited. Luckily, one group of people has managed to escape the genocide, lead by Commander William Adama (Edward James Olmos), on board the massive space ship called Battlestar Galactica. But the struggle isn't over, as the ruthless Cylons continue to pursue the ship and the last surviving members of the human race. This vision of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA features a darker tone and CGI special effects, and shares with other science fiction sagas a warning about the misuse of advanced technology. [Less]

Genre: Television

Starring: Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, James Callis

Some of the best writing currently on television makes this a challenging and intelligent show that fills its science-fiction bottle with intriguingly flawed characters, bare-knuckle politics ... sincere humanism, and other interesting choices all around.

It may be “sci-fi for depressives” as one wag described it, but it it is still pretty darn good and the best SF television show we’ve seen in quite a while . . .

I look forward to seeing the survivors of the Twelve Colonies wandering in space in search of a home for a long, deliciously painful time.
