TV: Battlestar Galactica

This is an awesome show! Nothing like the original series, Battlestar Galactica is about the evolution of humanity and technology.

Earth is a legend, the thirteenth colony of Kobol. The other twelve colonies (planets) contain all known humans. Years ago, humans created an artificially intelligent robot, the Cylon. The Cylon evolved and no longer wanted to be slaves to humans.

There was a war. Then for forty years, the humans had no word of the Cylon. The hope was that they had moved on to their own worlds. But, no. They are about to come back in force. They have evolved more - now there are models who look human along with the shiny metallic versions.

After a nuclear attack on all 12 planets of Kobol, the remaining humans are in a fleet of assorted ships - guarded by only one Battlestar. Galactica. Can they find enough resources and avoid the Cylon long enough to find the mythical planet of Earth? Does Earth really exist?

With excellent casting, acting, action, special effects, and plot - this is my new all time favorite! The series is 4 season long, plus one movie, Razor.

Starring: Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, James Callis, Jamie Bamber, Grace Park, Tricia Helfer, ...
