I finished watching the whole series of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica last week. Yup, that’s right, the WHOLE series of four seasons, plus the pilot miniseries and webisodes.
I must say, the series as a whole is quite amazing. They’ve managed to maintain the continuity and avoid major plot holes. Plus fantastic story telling that keeps you at the edge of your seats. Yes, it is science fiction, but it’s so good that you feel like it’s this great drama that just happens to be a science fiction.
Battlestar Galactica was actually a series back in the late 70’s. It was ‘re-imagined’ which meant that the main concept is still there; of humans fleeing their colonies after being attacked by Cylons (AI’s originally invented by the humans but then evolved and rebelled against them). However, the whole storyline differs from the original series.
I would imagine that the original one was also great in its own right, but I’m sure impressed by the new one, which you guys would probably be able to know by now after reading this post.
Even though the ending still left some mysteries unanswered, I still like it. If I’m crazy enough, I’d probably watch the whole series again. Heh.
So say we all!
