Battlestar Galactica

Battlestar Galactica is an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning serial drama television program created by Ronald D. Moore that first aired in a three-hour miniseries in December 2003, on Sci Fi. The series features Emmy Award-winning and Oscar-nominated Edward James Olmos and Oscar-nominated Mary McDonnell and has garnered a wide range of critical acclaim, including Emmy nominations for its writing and directing.


Battlestar Galactica continues from the 2003 mini-series to chronicle the journey of the last surviving humans from the Twelve Colonies of Kobol after their nuclear annihilation by the Cylons. The survivors are led by President Laura Roslin and Commander William Adama in a ragtag fleet of ships with the Battlestar Galactica, an old but powerful warship, as its command ship. Pursued by Cylons intent on wiping out the remnants of the human race, the survivors travel across the galaxy looking for the fabled and long-lost thirteenth colony: Earth. (via Wikipedia)
