Battlestar Galactica Through The Series

By Willard Y. Wuckert


Battlestar Galactica is one of the most well-known and most prolific science fiction franchises that keeps gaining fans even today. The entire world of this sci-fi storyline began in 1978, but since then it has expanded dramatically to include several different television series, novels, comic books, and even video games. Fans in many parts of the world are enjoying these varying adaptations and extensions of the original story and characters because it allows them a chance to truly experience the world of Galactica. Even though the roles and details of certain characters have changed throughout the variations of the main storyline, the essence of each character has been maintained and fans have received each of the new stories quite well.

Glen Larson was the creator behind both the original series that ran for one season in 1978 as well as the brief sequel released in 1980 which contained a few of the original characters. The basic concepts of the TV show's plot were that a race of humans from a distance galaxy were being attacked by the Cylons, a race of cybernetic creatures. The fans of the show were so dedicated and thus upset about its cancellation after just one season that some protested at the TV studio where the decision to cancel was made.

A new version of the original television series was made starting in 2003 with a three hour miniseries and continuing as a weekly show from 2004 to 2009. The series was updated and tweaked according to the ideas of the producers; this included some significant changes to certain characters from the original show. The characters' stories could be a lot more developed in this series because it lasted for several seasons.

Once the Battlestar Galactica series was finished in 2009, work began on spin off projects that would continue to expand on the characters and themes made popular in the TV show. An example is Caprica, a prequel series which continued for one season in 2010 and gave additional information about what happened before the first episode of BGS.

Fans of the Battlestar Galactica series continue to like all of the different adaptations of these characters stories that they can find. The war between the humans and the Cylon will continue to rage, whether it be in new online games or in forthcoming television programs.
