Review of: Battlestar Galactica, 2004 onwards

4/5 (minimum 1)

by hockeyshooter on 03 Oct 2007

The story so far: Humans created Cylons; Cylons evolved; Cylons got the hump; big war, Cylons get a good kicking and disappear for decades; Cylons do a bit more evolving and now some look human; Cylons come back and almost wipe out Humans; less than 50000 Humans left leg it into space.

Kicked off by a miniseries in 2004, the "new" Battlestar Galactica has been a brilliant success for the SciFi channel in the United States. The fourth, and probably final series, is due to begin airing in late 2007.

I'm happy to have watched it all on DVD as I think the constant interruptions you get on commercial television, especially in the USA, would have ruined it. As with all series, you do get some duff episodes, and some parts of the storyline are repetitive. Perhaps its inevitable when they have to produce so many episodes (over 20 per series).
