Battlestar Galactica (2003)First Aired in 2003 Ronald D. Moore, the visionary producer of Carnivale, and writer for shows such as Star Trek : The Next Generation, and Star Trek : Deep Space Nine boldly re-imagines this classic tale of good versus evil. Gone is the technobabble and mindless space battles of the show’s earlier namesake. This is a program that introduces many new elements to the Galactica Tale. The Cylons look like US now, they could be anywhere, and they seem to have developed a monotheistic religion that is in contrast to the human polytheistic religion. The Cylons begin by wiping out the twelve colonies and sending the survivors… all 47,000 (approx) of them on a desperate search for the fabled 13th colony…. Earth. Season One Overview The Cylons declare war on humanity wiping out billions in an unprovoked first strike. The Colonial fleet is all but eliminated leaving just a handful of ships including the soon to be decommissioned Battlestar Galactica. Galactica is crewed by the misfits of the military and a crew that never expected to be involved in real duty. With the president gone, and the government all but eliminated Laura Roslin, the Education Minister takes on the mantle of President of the 12 Colonies. Gaius Baltar, the leader in Artificial Intelligence, has inadvertently betrayed humanity by allowing a Cylon agent into the defence network rendering it, and all of their military forces impotent in the face of the Cylon attacks. During his time with this agent, it has implanted a chip into his brain allowing it to speak to him, and continue to torment him. Over the season Baltar falls in love with the Cylon eventually betraying humanity again and again. A lone soldier is trapped on Caprica, having given up his seat on a transport for a child. He struggles against the odds trying to stay alive surrounded on all sides by hostile Cylons when he encounters another Galactica crewmember who seems to have returned to him. The crew member however is actually another human form Cylon. Boomer and Helo spend the season trying to escape Caprica, and Boomer finds herself falling in love with her human target. The season ends with her pregnant and fighting to save his life. Meanwhile, the Boomer on board Galactica has set off several bombs and subconsciously created dozens of other problems on board the ship. The season ends with a stunning conclusion as Boomer shoots Commander Adama point blank.
