Battlestar Galactica Through Several Series

By Willard Y. Wuckert


Battlestar Galactica is a popular and famous science fiction franchise that, in spite of having been around for decades, continues to attract new fans. The novels, comic books, and video games that are currently being produced using the BGS moniker owe their existence to the original television series which was aired back in 1978. The story and characters that were brought to life as part of that brief series have given life to a large and complex universe that continues to expand and add depth to the original tale. 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.

The first set of characters was introduced by the 1978 show crafted by Glen Larson; he was also behind the development of the 1980 sequel series. The core 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 devoted 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 fresh 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 adjusted to fit to the ideas of the producers; this included some significant changes to certain characters from the original show. The characters' stories could be much more developed in this series because it lasted for several seasons.

Spin off projects were immediately started after Battlestar Galactica broadcasted its last show in 2009 in order to further the storyline. Caprica was released in 2010 as a one season spin off that served as a prequel, informing viewers on some of the events that led up to the first episode of the 2004 series.

There are lots of true Battlestar Galactica fans who love to get their hands on all creative material that adds life to this unique sci-fi universe. Video game fans who also appreciate the series can enjoy online games that enable you to interact with the popular characters while enjoying a well-designed MMO game.
