Battlestar Galactica

This was another show that I was doing a watch for. I had never seen any of this show but I had seen some episodes of the 1970s Battlestar Galactica with Loren Greene, Richard Hatch and Dirk Benedict. I was never a fan of that sci-fi show so I was not rushing to watch the new version when it came out on the SyFy Network.

The show went for four seasons, along with a starting mini series and a few movie specials. I had heard a lot of positive comments about the show, especially from Marc Bernardin from Fatman Beyond who said that Battlestar was his favorite show ever. It

The cast was excellent. It included  Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Tricia Helfer, and Grace Park. They are playing new versions from the first series.

Battlestar Galactica became one of the best sci-fi show on television. The complex storylines dove into the human condition. The Cylons, the robotic villains from the first season, were able to be repurposed into human-looking versions. It was such a great move because the Cylons were able to infiltrate the human race. As the seasons progressed, the Cylons became more human than what was expected.
