Battlestar Galactica is undoubtedly one of the best shows on television today as well as when it first aired. The legacy of the show goes back to 1978 when it first aired and the story began. Today, the show stands as one of the most faithfully watched series on television. And, the show has this almost cult-like following for a reason - it's that good!
The premise of the show is that of a futuristic world where good must prevail over evil. Adama, the commander of Battlestar Galactica navigates his crew through space in search of the 13th colony (Earth) and to defend the other 12 colonies from the evil Cylons (robotic enemies out to destroy mankind). These evil beings will stop at nothing to eliminate humanity and will take out anyone in their path.
Many folks love the show because it mixes so perfectly the genres of drama and science fiction. This perfect marriage of these genres makes for an almost soap opera like program for people who like science fiction. In fact many people who are not necessarily "trekkies" and sci-fi enthusiasts in the slightest watch the show because it is just that exciting!
The show does have the basics of a 'good guy/bad guy' storyline but so much more. The characters have their own personal issues and conflicts, quandaries, and times when someone aboard the ship is not who they say they are. This is what makes Battlestar Galactica so great is the fact that there is action upon drama and the characters are so real.
There is no shortage of spectacular action and heartfelt drama in this series. Upon watching Battlestar Galactica for the first time, many viewers fall in love with the authentic cast and root for the fleet of Battlestar Galactica each subsequent episode. This show is essential for those who are fascinated by space and the origins of mankind! - 30542
