LYCOS RETRIEVER
Battlestar Galactica: Cylons Landed
built 665 days ago
Helmed by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine scribe Ronald D. Moore, this "re-imagining" of the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica is similarly based around the aftermath of the massacre of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol by the Cylons. The battlestar Galactica, an aging Colonial military vessel, leads the remnants of humanity on a desperate pilgrimage to the fabled thirteenth colony of Earth. The Cylons, having "evolved" from their mechanical/robotic forms into humanoid models, pursue the human fleet tirelessly. Some (allegedly, eight) of the human survivors are in fact Cylon spies, creating a constant threat from within as well as without.

Battlestar Galactica continues from the 2003 mini-series to chronicle the journey of the last surviving humans from the Twelve Colonies of Kobol after their nuclear annihilation by the Cylons. The survivors are led by President Laura Roslin and Commander William Adama in a ragtag fleet of ships with the Battlestar Galactica, a powerful but out-dated warship, at its head. Pursued by Cylons intent on wiping out the remnants of the human race, the survivors travel across the galaxy looking for the fabled and long-lost [T]hirteenth colony: Earth.

After a thrilling start, tonight’s episode of Battlestar Galactica gums up the works and stalls faster than a car with a gas tank full of sugar. It’s yet another gritty glimpse into the seedy underbelly of daily Colonial life that would have been perfect for Mike Rowe on Dirty Jobs, but likely left some viewers pining for the return of the Cylons.

Galactica was the only surviving battlestar after an attack by the evil Cylons had destroyed interplanetary peace. Now they were chasing the Galactica and her fleet of 220 smaller spacecraft as they sped through space toward a last refuge - a distant, unknown planet called Earth.
