After watching original 1978 series and then this... I can barely watch, struggling to finish season 1. Woke, genderized, random and crazy camera work, it's unbearable.

I can understand the initial backlash against Starbuck, it seemed like an unneeded change in a reboot that might be full of unneeded changes that could take away from the original in the same way that "V" would. Only the reboot turned out to be legendary and though I feel appropriately dirty saying it--for love of 1978--but 2004 Starbuck turned out to be so much better than the clean ladies man. She was tough and …

Probably my all time favourite Sci-fi show and right up there with Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy with my top 3 of all time. The show is just perfect, the casting is realistic, the story-lines are immense with some great exciting moments. It is full on thoughtful science fiction with enough "Pew Pew" moments to raise the hairs on the back of your neck. The progression of the show and its characters over all the …

The only problem this show ever had was that it ended. It's some of the best space-based sci-fi shows that has ever existed.

Rewatching Battlestar Galactica for the first time in over a decade and it’s wild how well it’s held up—and how relevant it still feels. Honestly wouldn’t mind a new series set in that universe, maybe something that goes back to before the fall.
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 251 public posts we collected about this series and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people. The split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Generated Oct 13, 2026. Method
Critics, per Wikipedia
Throughout its run, the series earned critical acclaim from Time, National Review, Rolling Stone, Newsday, The New York Times, The New Yorker, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Chicago Tribune, and Entertainment Weekly. Diane Werts of Newsday wrote: "You can look at this saga any way you want—as political drama, religious debate, psychological suspenser, sci-fi adventure, deep metaphor or just plain fun—and it's scintillating from every angle." Robert Bianco of USA Today commented: "Driven by violence and rage, Galactica is perhaps the darkest space opera American TV has ever produced. In Galactica's future, humans are on the run, and if external enemies don't get us, internal divisions…

positive · AI labelView post →Frank Frazetta concept art for 1979’s Battlestar Galactica, as later repurposed to serve as a print ad for the show. (One of four FF BSG paintings that are known of, it’s the one that’s closest to the look of the show as it aired. I’ll post the others later.)

neutral · AI labelView post →I don't think there's a single TV-Show that made me weep like Battlestar Galactica did. That ending of the show finale was the best wrap up a tv-show could have gotten given two writer's strikes, multiple actors backing out and car injuries. Writers did such an insane job constantly rolling hard six
positive · AI labelView post →Battlestar Galactica (2003-2009) Showrunner Ronald D. Moore: “That’s the big challenge for the show, to reach out and get the audience who are not used to watching Sci Fi Channel. The audience that rolls their eyes as soon as you say, Have you tried Battlestar Galactica? – those are the people...”

positive · AI labelView post →Many people disagree but I had no interest at all in Battlestar Galactica series until I accidentally spoiled the ending for myself and I absolutely love it
positive · AI labelView post →Having, over the course of five + years, watched every episode of Star Trek ever made, and having just finished rewatching Battlestar Galactica, my next scifi TV show will be... The Expanse! Also up for consideration were OG Battlestar, Babylon 5, Farscape, and Stargate SG1.
neutral · AI labelView post →Draconian copyright enforcement drove creators to actually commit copyright infringement. There are tons of people on YouTube reacting to songs and movies. Like Katee Sackhoff [watching her own Battlestar Galactica](https://youtu.be/HK4wgx8TbrU) for the first time. And one thing all these channels have in common is that they show really limited clips in their videos but offer the full uncensored version on Patreon. So they essentially sell the whole work and don't give the original copyright…

neutral · AI labelView post →Reminds me of Battlestar Galactica. How many humans are left alive and if that's enough for us to survive is central throughout the show. Unfortunately, the estimate they use as a minimum viable population is orders of magnitude too big based on research published since the show came out.
neutral · AI labelView post →Who is actually a Cylon in Battlestar Galactica (Spoilers). This post is full of spoilers about the 2003 reimagined series. Throughout the series, a common trope is finding out that a character has secretly been a Cylon the entire time. Most of the time, these secret Cylons are not even aware that they are Cylons. They are under the impression that they are actually a human. I would argue that every character we meet (except for the few "angels") are actually Cylons. We literally never meet…

Just of the ones I've watched, Lost did, Battlestar Galactica did, and Game of Thrones did. Weird that it happened three times, huh?
