- CreatorGlen A. LarsonRonald D. MooreStarsEdward James OlmosMary McDonnellJamie BamberWhen an old enemy, the Cylons, resurface and obliterate the 12 colonies, the crew of the aged Galactica protect a small civilian fleet - the last of humanity - as they journey toward the fabled 13th colony, Earth.I'm a huge fan of Battlestar Galactica. I love the acting and the writing of it is so creative. So so many issues brought out in the open and tackled in such a brilliant way. I would recommend this to everyone and would even go as far to say i think this should be shown in every secondary school!

Something on British TV that makes you think! What an awful shame they don't have the gut to see it through to a second season!
