Battlestar Galactica

Battlestar Galactica was a television show originally produced for ABC in 1978.
In 2003, BSG was reimagined as a 3-hour mini-series, followed by a television series airing on Sci-Fi Channel from 2004 until 2009.
BSG has become the darling of television critics and sports a hardcore fanbase, despite regular snubs by the Emmys and low ratings.
Caprica, a prequel to the reimagined series, is scheduled to begin airing on Sci-Fi Channel in early 2010.

Attempts to reduce sexual tension in the reimagining with creative recasting are generally regarded as successful.

The story of Battlestar Galactica begins a long time, uh, before now, in a galaxy far, far... from here. Humanity lives on 12 planets, called the Colonies of Kobol, until they are promptly wiped out by evil robots, called Cylons (featured in the Cracked article 6 Evil Henchmen Who Sucked at Their Job).

Luckily, there's some spaceships left, among them the titular Battlestar, with about 50,000 chronic alcoholics on board. Rather than risk the survival of the human race in a badass space fight, they puss out and hightail it for Earth. Their search for this mythical planet and the hope that it represents for a steady supply of tobacco and grain alcohol is the driving premise of the show.

WTF, what's up with the stub page? I mean, I understand that writing a decent BSG topic page is a serious undertaking, and the author should feel some pressure to make it good, but what's the point of this? Just so they could claim the topic as their own?

Plus, I can see that the first comment was made in June. It's now October. So I'm guessing this topic will NOT, in all likelihood, ever be finished.

Weak.
