Jay H @RT70414899 11/23/2023 I loved this series when it first aired. I was 5. Now? Not so much. The premise is way too pedestrian: humans are good, Cylons are bad. Pew-pew-pew!

Then came Battlestar Galactica onto my TV set and I was blown away so much so I would skip my weekly scout meetings to watch it..all before vcr's. The sets the special effects the commanding Lorne Greene as Adama, Starbuck and Apollo it was a young lads fantasy overload loved it. Fast forward to 2004 and the reimagined battlestar galactica made me forget my 1979 childhood favorite as it was Sci Fi redefined dark moody political. But it still has a special place in my heart and certain episodes are still awesome especially the pilot movie which I've watched literally countless times.

It's a bit corny and some of the acting is a little dodgy but some of the episodes are great. The two parter about the gun on the ice planet is my favourite. The recent updated series has better effects and acting and a deeper more complex story. Yet I still prefer the old series. It is more fun. See more 10/24/2020 Battlestar Galactica (1978) is an undeniably classic piece of sci-fi history, and rightfully so. The short lived yet impactful series has decent plots, plenty of action, and even provides a laugh from time to time. Now I'd like to point out that they do not over use the comedy making the rare laughs feel special in a way that kindles heartfelt joy. There is something for everyone to enjoy in this show. I highly recommend Battlestar Galactica (1978). It's a must see for science fiction fans and I believe many people who are not sci-fi fans would enjoy it too. See more 02/24/2019 Holds up well even after multiple rewatches. Campy but engaging, and seldom forgets that serialized TV series are all about the characters. And what glorious characters we have here, James Colicos as an over the top baltar, managing to portray a true evil villain without getting campy. Dirk Bendict as the cigar chomping overconfident starbuck. Lorne Greene as the fatherly leader Adama. Charismatic patrick macnee as the mysterious count iblis. I could go on and on. The only downside is the heavy and obvious re-use of effects cuts. See more Read all reviews
