Battlestar Galactica is a critically acclaimed and award winning re-imagining of the original 1970s series of the same name. This new version picks up some characters and mythological aspects of the original, but differs radically in approach. Instead of the original's family-friendly escapism, this new series is darker, using its concept to reflect a post-9/11 world and made relevant to modern times, as well as exploring issues such as the nature of faith and what it means to be human. The show strays from conventional science fiction in that it does not focus on a variety of aliens or showcase technical devices or get bogged down by technobabble. The shows takes a more realistic approach in which space is mostly empty, planets are not always habitable, things break down, resources are finite, and people are not perfect; the "good guys" are not always heroic and the villains can garner sympathy.

Interesting concept, a bunch of pretty good and complex characters, flawed execution and questionable ending, but a 'worth watching' all the same. This show can be very illogical at moments, but eh... I think it's nearly impossible to find a perfect sci-fi TV series where all the dots connect and absolutely everything makes sense... At least I don't feel like I've wasted my time watching it and I'll remember it fondly (kind of).
Shits all over itself in the end. If you wanna remember this fondly, stop after "Blood on the Scales". The last few episodes are a joke.
Loved it! I would remember this for long and with pleasure :)
Watch No. 6 in the new show - Ascension :D Also about a ship :P
For viewing order (i.e. extended eps and whatnot), see: http://thunderpeel2001.blogspot.com/2010/02/battlestar-galactica-viewing-or der.html
A lot of flaws but so so so good overall.
Epic, awesome... and scary about the future of human race and AI
i'm not so into scifi but this one i really like !
It took me forever to get into the show but I finally did. Now I frakking love it to pieces. One of my favorite shows ever. <3
Just finished watching this. Damn, I missed out. Great series.
Probably the best science fiction series out there.
Such a great show...
Just rewatching this fantastic show, just a pity that Sy Fy seem to have completly given up on making cutting edge science fiction shows in recent years.
BEST SHOW EVERRRRRR
The best show ever. Cant say more about it. Doubt even the future will bring a show that could get close to it.
I'm also watching the last season, slowly don't want it to end to quickly...
Edit: I'm done watching... will miss it.
But still need to see the tv films and check out the other series.
Damn why do the good things always have to end.
Almost trough season 4,i'll miss it hard :(
Impressed!
Loved this both times I watched it front to back. "The Plan" was even good, if only to fill in some blanks. This is what Star Trek: Voyager could have been had it not been so clean. (I loved that show, too, but watching BSG made me realise how sanitary Star Trek is. Even Babylon 5, Star Wars, and Firefly, which are, by contrast, not sanitary, are clean by comparison.)
This is one of my favorite shows! I loved every minute of every season! The end was magical and I'm sad to see that all of it has come to an end! Big thumbs up for the makers and actors! Loved William Adama and Kara Thrace! My 2 favorite characters in this series! loved it so much! <3
@Niesaanval You mean frakking awesome? Or is that a combination of "Friggin" and "frakking"?
fragging awesome
Best TV series ever. Zowel originele als de nieuwe
