Thoughts on either the newer series or on the original show. I personally like the new show a lot. What about you guys?

Why not provide a summary to those whom don't know what you're talking about?

Okay.

The premise of the Battlestar Galactica Series is that there are two races: Human and Cylon. The Cylons launch a massive attack against the homeworlds of humanity, the Twelve colonies. Each colony is named after a different Zodiac sign. After the attacks, there are few survivors. Under the command of Commander Adama, commander of the last Battlestar, Galactica, a massive convoy of ships and supplies leaves the colonies in an attempt to find the legendary lost colony, Earth. However, there are differances between the original version and the new version.

Original: The Cylons are a race of machines that resemble silver-Darth-Vader wannabes with a single, red eye that pulses back and forth across a band. They serve their Imperious Leader, who orders Humanity's destruction. After many, many years of war, the Cylons broker a truce between themselves and the Twelve Colonies. While the truce is underway, they launch a surprise attack, obliterating the twelve colonies. The massive exodous begins.

New Series: The humans created the Cylons many years ago as slave labor. fifty years ago, the Cylons decided not to do what they were told, and decided to obliterate humanity in a war. The war ended with an armistace, and to ensure the peace, a space station was constructed on the edge of the Colonial and Cylon territories for the sake of negotiation. For forty years, nothing happened, and man never saw the Cylons in that time. Meanwhile, the Cylons were upgrading themselves. Instead of the old, metal man robots, they have developed twelve models of humanoid Cylons, each one nearly indistinguishable from humans. Using this advantage, they laid the groundwork for the attack. On the day the Cylons returned, they used their sabotage to upload computer viruses into the networks of every ship in the Colonial fleet, rendering the ships helpless when the Cylons came around. Only the Battlestar Galactica, which was about to be decommissioned, escaped because it never recieved the sabotaged components. Commander Adama takes command, and with the cooperation of Laura Roslin, president of the Twelve Colonies, flees with a fleet of refugees to Earth.

I watched the movie (first ep?) from the new series with my friend...he's a minor sci-fi freak. He introduced me to star trek
I thought it was pretty good, though I don't know if I could sit through a whole series of it

My computer teacher was doing something about Battlestar Galactica...
It involved going to the UN..
I had work to do, so I didn't attend. Plus, I had already seen the UN.
