Battlestar Galactica - Season 1

Edward James Olmos, Katee Sackhoff, Mary McDonnell
description
An updating and re-imagining of the classic 1970s sci-fi television show, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA combines elements of STAR TREK, STAR WARS, and THE TERMINATOR. Human beings built the android Cylons to work as servants for them, only to have the robots rebel and disappear into space. A generation later, however, the Cylons returned to destroy their former masters, and succeeded in eliminating the 12 worlds that mankind inhabited. Luckily, one group of people has managed to escape the genocide, lead by Commander William Adama (Edward James Olmos), on board the massive space ship called Battlestar Galactica. But the struggle isn't over, as the ruthless Cylons continue to pursue the ship and the last surviving members of the human race. This vision of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA features a darker tone and CGI special effects, and shares with other science fiction sagas a warning about the misuse of advanced technology.

    "The first season will hook you in no matter what you may think of the rest of the series. Great characters and a first rate drama for everyone whether you are a Star Wars nerd or a General Hospital housewife or anything in between!"

    "Beats the original hands down - this is way too sophisticated to even be considered similar! And definitely one of the best sci-fi series to ever be aired!"
