Battlestar Galactica Episodes

Watch Battlestar Galactica - Battlestar Galactica Streaming

Battlestar Galactica was television series broadcast on the SciFi or SyFy channel. It was based on a television series of the same name from the early 1980s. The first Battlestar Galactica series helped launch the acting career of Dirk Benedict who portrayed Starbuck, a colonial viper pilot. It also starred Lorne Greene.

The Battlestar Galactica premise of human beings (or human like beings) fighting against machines comes from the Beserker series of science fiction stories. In the Beserker series, the beserkers are space faring, artificially intelligent machines that seek out organic life and destroy it. In the books, it is assumed that machines were built by long dead organic life for the purpose of waging war, but no one has direct knowledge of their origin.

Galactica Battlestar Series

The new 2nd Galactica Battlestar series clearly states that the cylons were built by the humans of the twelve colonies. Approximately 50 years before the start of the Battlestar Galactica series the machines waged a war against the humans. That war saw the construction of the Battlestar Galactica. It ended with the cylons migrating to a world of their own. Every year since the end of the war, the twelve colonies sent an ambassador to a remote station to open diplomatic talks with the cylons. The cylons send no one.

The first Galactica Battlestar TV series has cylon machines which behave and have similar origins as the beserkers. The original cylons were reptilian creatures. They created the cylons machines. The organic cylons died out long ago, leaving behind the machines.

The opening mini series begins with an attack by the cylons 40 years after the end of the first war. Gaius Baltar and the colonies have begun using computer networks, no longer thinking the cylons are a threat. The cylons exploit these networks and destroy the 12 colonies, leaving only 50,000 survivors assembled in a fleet with the Galactica in the lead. It is also revealed that there a human looking cylons as well as the tin can or toaster cylons.

Battlestar Galactica Top Five Episodes

5. Kobol's Last Gleaming part 2
What? Boomer shots Adama? She finally seems to gone over to the cylons at the end of this one, and the fleet is in turmoil.

4. Maelstrom
Did anyone real see the death of Starbuck coming. Come on, Starbuck? At first I was apprehensive of a female Starbuck. But the series soon had me rooting for her, Between this episode and "Scar" we see all the Starbuck you can handle.

3. Blood on the Scales
Felix Gaeta makes this episode. He was constant presence of the Galactica. At this point in the series, he is a beloved character. Felix is the villian, perhaps not so much as Tom Zarak but still a villian. What makes it great is that you understand where Felix is coming from. He's a bad guy with motive, reasons and a code of honor. In the end I hated to see him go.

2. 33
Right from the beginning of the series, you have cylons attacking every 33 minutes. Do you know what makes a good Battlestar Galactica episode? Cylons attacking. The series came out throwing good punches in round one.

1. Pegasus
Easily my favorite episode from the original series with the legendary Commander Cain. This one had me drooling from the teasers. This time around, Galactica is thrilled to find another surviving Battlestar at first. But things rapidly unravel and it becomes clear that finding the Pegasus was not necessarily a good thing.

Did you like the way Battlestar Galactica ended?

Overall the Galactica Battlestar series was good, but there is a lot of debate abut the end. Did you like the resolution for Starbucks character? Was it realistic for the fleet to forego technology? Were the 12 colonies cylon too, just so evolved they didn't know it? What were Baltar and Six at the end, angels talking about God?
