The Best Show on Television in 2005? Yes, according to Time Magazine, Rolling Stone and New York Newsday. Praised by The New York Times, The National Review, The New Yorker, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Chicago Tribune and many other publications, Battlestar Galactica won a prestigious Peabody Award in the spring of 2006. Moore, the producer of Carnivale and writer for Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, boldly re-imagined the original 1978 space opera of humans versus the robotic Cylons.

He teamed up with co-executive producer David Eick on a powerful and dramatic update of the Galactica story. Gone are the technobabble, disco outfits and Egyptian helmets of the original series. The modern show introduces new elements to the Galactica story. The Cylons have developed human-form models that are indistinguishable from real humans. The Cylons have a monotheistic religion in contrast to the polytheistic religion of the human Colonies. In the miniseries, the Cylons launch a massive attack against the humans and wipe out the Twelve Colonies, sending the 47,000 survivors on a desperate search for the fabled 13th colony-Earth.

A feature film remake was also planned. Contents. Narrations and theme music The show begins with a narration, spoken by: There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the, or the, or the, that they may have been the architects of the Great Pyramids, or the lost civilizations of. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive—somewhere beyond the heavens! The short version of the narration, also spoken by Macnee: There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans.

Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive—somewhere beyond the heavens! During the narration, the viewer sees scenes of nebulae and other celestial phenomena. Macnee provided the character voice of the Cylons' Imperious Leader throughout the series, and even appeared on screen as in 'War of the Gods', a two-part episode which originally aired in January 1979. The narration is followed by images of the Galactica, the, and other scenes. The Battlestar Galactica theme plays prominently, an orchestral piece with an emphasis on brass instruments. This was composed by and.

The show closes with narration by: Fleeing from the Cylon tyranny, the last battlestar, Galactica, leads a ragtag fugitive fleet on a lonely quest: a shining planet known as Earth. Plot summary. For more details on this topic, see. In a distant star system, the were reaching the end of a thousand-year war with the, warrior robots created by a reptilian race which expired long ago, presumably destroyed by their own creations. Humanity was ultimately defeated in a sneak attack on their homeworlds by the Cylons, carried out with the help of a human traitor,. Protected by the last surviving, a 'battlestar' (from ' battle starship'), named Galactica, the survivors fled in any available ships. The Commander of the Galactica, Adama , led this in search of a new home.

They began a quest to find the long lost thirteenth tribe of humanity that had settled on a legendary planet called Earth. However, the Cylons continued to pursue them relentlessly across the galaxy. The era in which this took place is never clearly stated in the series itself. At the start of the series, it is mentioned as being 'the seventh millennium of time', although it is unknown when this is in relation to Earth's history.

The implication of the final aired episode, ', was that the original series took place after the moon landing in July 1969 (as the Galactica receives a television transmission from Earth showing the landing). The later series is expressly set in the year 1980 after a 30-year voyage to Earth. Larson, a member of, incorporated many themes from into the shows. For more details on this topic, see. The pilot to this series, budgeted at $7 million (the most expensive at that time), was released theatrically (in ) in various countries including Canada, Japan and those in in July 1978 (except the United Kingdom where it was released in April 1979) in an edited 125-minute version. On September 17, 1978, the full 148 minute pilot premiered on to high.

Two thirds of the way through the broadcast, ABC interrupted with a special report of the signing of the at the by Israeli Prime Minister and Egyptian President, witnessed by U.S. After the ceremony, ABC resumed the broadcast at the point where it was interrupted. This interruption did not occur on the West Coast. After the pilot aired, the 125 min theatrical version was given a U.S cinema release in spring of 1979. The pilot had originally been announced as the first of three made for TV movies. After broadcast of the second episode, 'Lost Planet of the Gods', Glen Larson announced the format change to a weekly series, catching his writing and production staff off guard, resulting in several substandard 'crash of the week' episodes until quality scripts could resume. 'Lost Planet of the Gods' also introduced a costume change from the original, in that the warriors' dress uniform featured a gold-trimmed cape falling to upper thigh.

Because of the costume change, a portion of the pilot was reshot; this refilmed version was released in cinemas in 1979. The original version of the warriors' dress uniform, a plain, mid-thigh-length cape, is documented in The Official Battlestar Galactica Scrapbook by James Neyland, 1978.

Criticism and legal actions Battlestar Galactica was criticized by in the newspaper. He saw an analogy between the fictional Colonial/Cylon negotiations and the US/Soviet talks and accused the series of being inspired by hysteria: The galactic negotiations between the people and the Cylons really resembled the U.S./Soviet SALT talks - not in their actual form but in the perverted interpretation of the enemies of the treaty from the family of Washington hawks. Their inspiration is the pumping-up of military, anti-Soviet hysteria, which in this case is disguised in the modern costume of socio-scientific fantasy.

Anti-Soviet symbolism dressed in a transparent tunic of science fiction. — Melor Sturua, Izvestia commented: 'Star Wars was fun and I enjoyed it. But Battlestar Galactica was Star Wars all over again and I couldn't enjoy it without amnesia.' In 1978, sued (producers of Battlestar Galactica) for, and claims, claiming it had stolen 34 distinct ideas from. Universal promptly countersued, claiming Star Wars had stolen ideas from their 1972 film, notably the robot 'drones', and the of the 1930s.

20th Century Fox's copyright claims were initially dismissed by the trial court in 1980, but the remanded the case for trial in 1983. It was later 'resolved without trial'. Ratings Battlestar Galactica initially was a ratings success. CBS counter programmed by moving its Sunday block of and an hour earlier, to compete with Galactica in the 8:00 timeslot.

From October 1978 to March 1979, All in the Family averaged more than 40 percent of the 8:00 audience, against Galactica's 27 or 28 percent. In mid-April 1979, ABC executives canceled the show. An AP article reported 'The decision to bump the expensive Battlestar Galactica was not surprising.

Had been broadcast irregularly in recent weeks, attracting slightly over a quarter of the audience in its Sunday night time slot.' Larson claimed that it was a failed attempt by ABC to reposition its number one program into a more lucrative timeslot. The cancellation led to viewer outrage and protests outside ABC studios, and it even contributed to the suicide of Edward Seidel, a 15-year-old boy in who was obsessed with the program. Language While primarily English, the Colonial language was written to include several fictional words that differentiated its culture from those of Earth, most notably time units and expletives.

The words were roughly equivalent to their English counterparts, and the minor technical differences in meaning were suggestive to the viewer. Colonial distance and time units were incompletely explained, but appear to have been primarily in a decimal format.

Time units included millicenton (approximately equivalent to one second), centon (minute), centar (hour), cycle (day), secton (week), sectar (month), quatron (unknown, perhaps 1/4 yahren), yahren (Colonial year), centuron (Colonial century). Distance units were metron (meter) and micron (second of time when used in a countdown, but also a distance unit, possibly a.) Expletives included ', also spelled 'frak' (interjection), 'felgercarb' (noun), and 'golmogging', also spelled 'gall-mogging' (adjective). These words avoided guidelines on the use of profanities and the associated fines. Other terms included daggit (a canine–like animal indigenous to one of the colonies), ducat (ticket), pyramid (card game), (unit of currency represented by rectangular coins), triad (a full contact ball and goal game similar to basketball), lupus (a wolf-like animal indigenous to another of the colonies), and sociolator (prostitute). Figures of speech There were a number of these used in the series, such as 'daggit dribble', a term used to condemn falsehood, and 'daggit-meat', used as an expression of contempt.

Music The show's original music was composed and conducted by Stu Phillips, with the pilot score performed by the. Ironically, it was recorded at 20th Century Fox which later sued Universal over the series.

Released a soundtrack album on LP and cassette with Phillips as the music producer; the album was later reissued on compact disc by Edel in 1993, and in 2003. For the series, Phillips used a studio orchestra at Universal, although the theme and end credits music as recorded by the LAPO were retained. In 2011-2012 released four albums featuring Phillips's music for the series, representing the first commercial release of music other than that of the pilot. (Phillips previously produced a four CD promotional set.) Except the first, all are two disc sets. 2011: Battlestar Galactica Volume 1: 'Saga of a Star World'. 2011: Battlestar Galactica Volume 2: 'Lost Planet of the Gods' parts 1 and 2, and 'Gun on Ice Planet Zero' parts 1 and 2. 2012: Battlestar Galactica Volume 3: 'The Long Patrol', 'The Lost Warrior', 'The Magnificent Warriors', 'The Young Lords', 'Murder on the Rising Star', 'Take the Celestra', 'The Hand of God', and 's 'The Return of Starbuck'.

2012: Battlestar Galactica Volume 4: 'The Living Legend' parts 1 and 2, and 'War of the Gods' parts 1 and 2, plus music recorded for Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack and Galactica 1980. 'Fire in Space', 'The Man with Nine Lives', 'Greetings from Earth', 'Baltar's Escape', and 'Experiment in Terra' were entirely tracked with preexisting material. Follow on projects The series was remade with a three–hour in 2003 and followed by a that ran from 2004 to 2009. In 2009 was tapped to direct a feature film remake with production input from original series creator Glen A. Larson's 2014 death caused a delay, but in 2016 was assigned to be the screenwriter and the studio was considering to replace Singer as director. See also. Ellen Leventry (May 2005).
