Battlestar Galactica Through Several Years

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 under 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 during that brief series have given life to a large and complex universe that continues to expand and add depth to the original tale. There have been a number of notable changes and additions to the story of BGS through the years but it all came from the original concepts and characters that were created back in 1978.

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 story sticks to a small group of humans who are trying to avoid destruction by the powerful and unyielding Cylon race. The fans of the show were so devoted and hence upset about its cancellation after just one season that some protested at the TV studio where the decision to cancel was made.

A new 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. This was a re-imagining of the original series so it featured the same basic characters with some notable updates to make them feel more realistic for modern viewers. The reality that this later series was so much longer than the original meant that the producers could spend more time creating deep, intricate characters.

The story of Battlestar Galactica and its characters did not end with the final episode in 2009 because spin off series were already in the works. An example is Caprica, a prequel series which ran for one season in 2010 and gave additional information about what happened before the first episode of BGS.

The Battlestar Galactica franchise has fans all over the world who are ready to enjoy more adventures with the memorable characters of the series. One of the most recent additions to the BGS universe has been an online game that allows players to battle alongside the humans and the Cylons.
