Battlestar Galactica

The Best Show on Television? Yes, according to Time Magazine, The National Review, Rolling Stone and New York Newsday. Praised by The New York Times, The New Yorker, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Chicago Tribune and many other publications, Battlestar Galactica won a prestigious Peabody Award in the spring of 2006.
Ronald D. Moore, the producer of Carnivale and writer for Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, boldly re-imagined the original 1978 space opera of humans versus the robotic Cylons. He teamed up with fellow executive producer David Eick on a powerful and dramatic update of the Galactica story.
Gone are the technobabble, disco-themed costumes and Egyptian helmets of the original series. The modern show introduces new elements to the Galactica story. The Cylons have developed human-form models that are indistinguishable from real humans. The Cylons have a monotheistic religion in contrast to the polytheistic religion of the human Colonies. The approach is serious and intense, with a focus on tough political, philosophical and religious issues set in a tale that manages to keep the focus on realistic and not always perfect characters.
In the miniseries, the Cylons launch a massive attack against the humans and wipe out the Twelve Colonies, sending the 47,000 survivors on a desperate search for the fabled 13th colony — Earth.

Battlestar Galactica is no geeky, star trek like series, no. It is something different. A whole new experience and if you keep watching the series from beginning to end, without spying, I assure you, you’ll love it. Allow yourself to be surprised by the plot and you’ll  witness intrigues, emotions, politics and a lot more….remarkable that a science fiction story that plays in space can be such a drama and such a great, deep and epic plot. It gets people to think and you all know that is a good thing, at least sometimes. One of the reasons the story goes so deep is that there is no good and evil and you constantly ask yourself:

Is evil evil, good evil, evil good, good good?

It is my favorite series right now!! (Try to watch the first season which is a little science focused and enjoy the change the series gets in the following ones. And please don’t watch the end beforehand because you are curious. Trust me! 🙂 )

It’s not about highlights, keep that in mind!
