The truth is that I am a bit heavy with the series / movies / bands I like. When I think that people should find something, I want to let them request to discover. Come on, give the pain in the ass more than anyone.
bad I do not understand much considered science fiction is among the common people. I know there are horrible things floating around between Mars, bugs, webs, plasterboard and effects of 3D Studio. But for that very reason, when I try to explain that there is something different all the gaudy horror, people do not believe me. Well, maybe I do believe, but gives no credence to what they hear.
"Drama? Politics?" Religion? "Plot? interesting? one hand I understand. Before discovering Reimagined Battlestar Galactica 2003 (hereafter BSG), had only a vague recollection of others for the first series, Galactic Star Fight "(from now GEC), which was a series that was born out of science fiction boom with the arrival of Star Wars. There was even a complaint with one another, but that you can look on wikipedia for GEC
. And really, it was tacky. Very entertaining, but fairly cutronga today's standards. Now living a golden age series and have very high budgets, BSG without going any further. But time has not helped GEC and it shows both the argument of the filler episodes and in the setting of these, coming to have nothing to do with the Egyptian tone of the series.
The main cast ...
So I felt I was not tempted to take a look at BSG, taking into account the background. But summer is a traitor and no TV and no beer, Sam loses his head. So I gave him the opportunity for the miniseries (which is what precedes itself BSG), 2 3-hour chapters that give shape to the series, showing that the tone of the "reimagined" has nothing to do with the phenomenon scifi 30 years ago: darker, convoluted, dramatic ... human. In any case, I must say that the first two seasons other component typically handle action, usually in the form of space battles. 
However, rather than being spectacular operas full of lights and lightning, more reminiscent of combat aircraft of World War II, since BSG combines pure science fiction (like ships, the "jumps" and the Cylons) with details reminiscent of a past pre-computer, such as the environment inside the vessel resembling a submarine giant old phones (yes, those with cable), the floodgates ... both to refer to elements of the original series, such as jagged edges of the sheets of paper, the game of the pyramid and many of the arcs of it, reshaped to fit the context of the new series.

must also talk about the role of women in the series. In the original series, several main characters like Starbuck and Boomer were men. In BSG, the two main characters and some more are women. Apart from the gender reassignment, the importance of these female characters grows exponentially with respect to the old series, which gives a new approach to relations between the crew and the original argument of the new series. Besides the characters mentioned, I have to refer to the President of the Colonies by chance (the number 42 in succession), Laura Roslin, because for me it is one of the best characters next to Starbuck. On the other hand, one of the most notable changes in BSG is the inclusion of the humanoid Cylon. In GEC, the Cylon robots are a civilization created by a civilization of lizards, which decides to exterminate humans as a threat. A human, Count Baltar, Cylon will partner with and help to destroy the 12 human colonies, leaving only the Galactica, a ship with a special shell, and the civilian fleet as the only survivors, pursued and frustrated, looking for Earth . In BSG, the Cylon are robots created by humans that once they have reached a certain degree of intelligence, decide to rebel against humanity for the slave trade they receive. After a first human-Cylon bloody war, the latter are removed for no apparent reason. 40 years later, and have evolved enough from the outside look completely human. Besides, we know Gaius Baltar, renowned scientist who unwittingly provides access to a Cylon named Number 6, the defense system of the colonies. From here begins the miniseries with the same starting point: the destruction of the 12 colonies, survival in extremis by a group of ships, with the Galactic star fighter as the only warship (though about to be withdrawn from service, the date from the First Cylon War and be obsolete), and the search for the mythical thirteenth colony, Earth.
of mythic because I emphasize what I mean just a myth. In the world of BSG, humans professing a polytheistic religion where the gods are named after the ancient Greek deities. However, the Cylon (which no longer an enemy just as in GEC, but will make a genuine civilization) have a vision of the religion monotheistic, believing in one God and the plan it for them. In the beginning, we assume that it is for that belief in its manifest destiny as the undertake again Cylon war against humans, but I will not pass details. They deserve to be viewed.
Religion theme of the series. Does it sound this picture?
result? A series of science fiction for adults, intense, political, religious, social, growing season to season in quality and interest, with some performances as the top of a pine (if you have just loving Saul Tigh, Cylon Centurions ye are) , persistent mysteries that engage and final round. I cried at 6 am watching it live, go. All that said, I implore you to do an exercise in good taste and you see BSG. I have omitted certain important issues that can only be properly appreciated seeing. Has already completed (there are 4 seasons) and all that ye put at fault or not, is what many have suffered (I less) and made them love and think about this series: the stoppages. So I'm running to the mule, ciborium. The spacecraft must look like idiots and they get scared.
