Top 25 Sci-Fi TV Shows Countdown: # 2 Battlestar Gallactica

Number 2  Battlestar Gallactica  2004-2009

The Cylons are back to take out the 12 Colonies.  A small group of humans head off in search of the last 13 colony of Earth.   We have heard and seen this story before.   I remember watching the premiere episode and just being upset for the first hour and a half.  How dare they make Starbuck and Boomer girls..  this wasn't  the Battlestar Gallactica I grew up with.  How dare they mess with this great show from my past.   Then it turned the corner.  I went from being upset that it wasn't the show I grew up loving to realizing that it might be something better.  Once fully immersed into this new version it grew and developed into one of the best shows on TV. Battlestar Gallactica delved into many modern day issues in the coolest of Sci-Fi settings.  The cylons were much more than just a bunch of tin-cans they were much more complex.  The show had cool twists and great characters and storylines and a conclusion that satisfied.   The cast was excellent.  James Edward Olmos as Adama and James Callis as Baltar especially.  I could go on and on about everything that made Battlestar so damn good.......but the fact that it is number 2 on my list says it all.      "So say we all"

Battlestar Gallactica: Blood and Chrome  2013  9 out of 10

This prequel to the excellent re-envisioned epic TV Series was exactly what the sci-fi gods ordered.  Begin the Cylon  War Has!..

It follows the first mission for William Adama in the war against the Cylons that predates the  ground breaking TV series.   It was Fracking excellent!!   A great and well written movie that had a great and compelling story. The visuals were beautiful the soundtrack compelling.     Some of the Viper scenes were as good as something out of a Star Wars movie.   The movie had emotion and thrills and was worthy of the big screen.    I really wish this was being turned into a series --because I could watch this level of quality Battlestar action for years to come.   Again there will be dozens of bad sci-fi and action movies that come out in 2013 that will not even hold a candle to what this direct to TV movie achieved.   I hope that if a Star Wars TV is ever done the producers and writers from Battlestar will be hired to helm it and Sheppard it to the level of Fracking excellence that Battlestar has become.   Definitely a most see for sci-fi fans and fans of the show. To  think that this was originally a 10 part online series just blows me away.
