What helped make the remake of Battlestar Galactica stand out from similar series like Star Trek is the depth of all the main characters. Most characters are not identifiable as all evil bad guys or stiff upper lip good guys. They all had real problems to deal with, be it drinking problems, cancer, death of loved ones, addictions to sex, religious beliefs, and problems with rules and authority.

When Steve Rogers resumed the identity of Captain America, Battlestar left federal employment and returned to his native Chicago. He became a member of Silver Sable's Wild Pack for some time,[10] even serving as the Wild Pack's field leader during Silver's absence.[11] He eventually returns to the United States.

This is not your father's "Battlestar Galactica." It's not your children's, either. With its sex scenes and violence, this revisionist version of the 1970s show earns its late time slot on the Sci-Fi Channel. In fact, the only reminders of the old series are some of the spaceship designs and the plot about a fleet of humans fleeing their destroyed worlds with their aggressors, the Cylons, in hot pursuit. By shunning the "Star Trek" model (no alien monsters here), creator Ronald D. Moore has fashioned a space drama rather than a space opera. This thoughtful allegory about 9/11 is one of the best sci-fi shows ever. Extras: Moore's erudite commentary on each episode will add mileage to these discs.

The ships that Mattel produced for Battlestar Galactica were miniature versions. You couldn't use any of the action figures with these ships, but that didn't make them any less cool. Each ship had a miniature, articulted pilot to put in the cockpit and some great detailing. The first series of ships came with spring based missile launchers. After a choking incident involving one of the missiles Mattel recalled the products and released peace bonded versions of the toys. There were two sets of peace bonded ships.

As originally conceived, the series was to be set on the planet Caprica about 50 to 70 years before the events that take place in Battlestar Galactica. The show was going to follow the family life of Joseph Adama, father of William Adama, who is played by Edward James Olmos in the current series. The spin-off would deal with the creation of the Cylon race and the events leading into the First Cylon War.
