Back in 1978, this was just a big action sequence, but in a post-9/11 world, the scenes actually work better today than they ever could back then.Īnother reason I believe the original series has aged well is due to the fact that most of the main characters are very open about their religious beliefs, something that probably wouldn't fly on network television today, even though the religion on Battlestar Galactica is more Egyptian in nature than it is Christian. A promising civilization of humans on the other side of our galaxy are forced to form a wagon train across the stars after the majority of them are annihilated by a mechanical race of robots called Cylons. I think one of the reasons the original 'Battlestar Galactica' resonates just as much today as it did back in 1978 is because of the way the premise is set up. It's been somewhat forgotten due to the darker (and by all accounts superior) reboot series that aired on the SyFy Channel, but going back and viewing these shows again after all this time, I was amazed at how well many of them hold up.

With the release of a new remastered version of 'Battlestar Galactica' on Blu-ray, it may be time for science-fiction fans to finally admit that this series – often maligned as a rather campy Star Wars rip-off – was actually quite a fun and occasionally exciting piece of entertainment.
