'''''Battlestar Galactica''''' is a [[Media franchise|franchise]] of [[science fiction]] [[film]]s and [[television program|television series]], the [[Battlestar Galactica (1978 TV series)|first of which]] was produced in 1978. A series of book adaptations, original novels, comic books and video games have also been based on the concept. A [[Battlestar Galactica (TV miniseries)|reimagined miniseries]] aired in 2003, and a [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|regular television series]] started in 2004. |
|||
All of the ''Battlestar Galactica'' productions share the same premise: In a distant part of the universe, a civilization of humans live on a series of planets known as the [[Twelve Colonies]]. In the past, the Colonies have been at war with a cybernetic race known as the [[Cylon (Battlestar Galactica)|Cylon]]s. With the help of a human named [[Baltar (Battlestar Galactica)|Baltar]] (intentional in the original series, unintentional in the reimagined series), the Cylons launch a sudden [[sneak attack|ambush]] on the Colonies, laying waste to the planets and devastating their populations. The handful of human survivors flee into space aboard any spacecraft they can reach. Of all the Colonial Fleet, the [[Battlestar Galactica (ship)|Battlestar ''Galactica'']] appears to be the only military capital ship that survived the attack. Under the leadership of famed military leader [[Commander Adama (Battlestar Galactica)|Commander Adama]], the Battlestar ''Galactica'' and its crew take up the task of leading the small fugitive fleet of survivors into space in search of a fabled refuge known as Earth. |

==Original series (1978 and 1980)== |
|||
===Battlestar Galactica (1978)=== |
|||
{{main|Battlestar Galactica (1978 TV series)}} |
|||
[[Glen A. Larson]], the Executive Producer of ''Battlestar Galactica'', has stated in many interviews that he originally conceived of the ''Galactica'' premise, which he originally called ''Adam's Ark,'' in the late 1960s. However, he was unable to get the project [[greenlight|greenlit]] for many years. |
|||
''Battlestar Galactica'' was finally produced in the wake of the success of the 1977 film ''[[Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope|Star Wars]]''. In fact, [[20th Century Fox]] sued [[Universal Studios]] (the studio behind ''Battlestar Galactica'') for [[copyright infringement]], claiming that it had stolen 34 distinct ideas from ''Star Wars''. Universal promptly countersued, claiming ''Star Wars'' had stolen ideas from the 1972 film ''[[Silent Running]]'' (notably the robot "drones") and the ''[[Buck Rogers]]'' serials of the 1940s {{Fact|February 2009|date=February 2009}}. |
|||
Initially, Larson envisioned ''Battlestar Galactica'' as a series of [[made-for-TV movies]] (a three-hour [[television pilot|pilot]] and two two-hour episodes) for the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] television network. A shortened version of the three-hour pilot, ''[[Saga of a Star World]]'', was released in Canadian theaters (before the series aired) and American theaters (after the series aired), and instead of two additional movies, a weekly television series followed. |
|||
In 1979 at the 6th Annual [[People's Choice Awards]], the series won for Best New TV Drama Series. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pcavote.com/pca/history.jsp?year=1979 |title=People's Choice Awards Past Winners:1979 - pcavote.com |publisher=pcavote.com |date= |accessdate=2009-02-25}}</ref> |
|||
The initial episode of the series was broadcast on September 17, 1978. However, approximately 60 minutes into the first episode, the broadcast was interrupted for a significant period--almost an hour--by the announcement of the signing of the Egyptian-Israeli [[Camp David Accords]], deeply marring the broadcast as much of the initial episode was not seen. During the eight months after pilot was broadcast, 17 original episodes of the series were aired (five of them two-part shows), totaling 24 hours of broadcasting. Citing declining ratings and cost overruns, ABC cancelled Battlestar Galactica in April, its last episode "[[The Hand of God (1978 Battlestar Galactica)|The Hand of God"]] premiering on April 29, 1979. |

===Galactica 1980=== |
|||
{{main|Galactica 1980}} |
|||
During the autumn of 1979, ABC executives met with Galactica's creator [[Glen A. Larson]] to consider a relaunch of the series. A suitable concept was needed to draw viewers, and it was decided that the arrival of the Colonial Fleet at contemporary Earth would be the storyline. A new television movie entitled ''[[Galactica 1980]]'' was rushed into production. Again, it was decided this new version of Galactica would be made into a weekly series. Despite the early success of the première, the show failed to achieve the popularity of the original series and was canceled after only ten episodes. |
|||
In this 1980 sequel series, the fleet finds Earth and covertly protects it from the Cylons. This series was a quick failure due to its low budget (e.g., recycling footage from the 1974 [[Universal Studios]] film ''[[Earthquake (film)|Earthquake]]'' during a [[Cylon (Battlestar Galactica)|Cylon]] attack sequence), widely-panned writing, and ill-placed time slot (Sundays at 7:00 p.m., a time slot generally reserved for family-oriented programming and, more specifically, ''[[60 Minutes]]''). The show also had to adhere to strict content restrictions such as limiting acts of violence and being required to shoehorn educational content into the script and dialogue. To cut costs, the show was set mostly on contemporary Earth, to the great dismay of fans. |
|||
Another factor for fan apathy was the nearly complete recasting of the original series: [[Lorne Greene]] reprised his role as Adama (and worked ''pro bono''), [[Herb Jefferson, Jr.|Herb Jefferson Jr.]] played (now Colonel) Boomer in only half of the episodes (with almost no screentime), and [[Dirk Benedict]] as Starbuck for only one (the abrupt final episode), which was mostly unused footage from the original series. Richard Hatch (Apollo in the original series) was sent a script for Galactica 1980 but turned it down since he wasn't sure what his part in the series would be now that all the characters had changed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.galactica.tv/battlestar-galactica-1978---interviews/richard-hatch-galactica.tv-interview.html|title=Richard Hatch GALACTICA.TV interview|author=Mike Egnor|publisher=www.galactica.tv|date=December 30, 2008|accessdate=2008-12-30}}</ref> |
|||
Some [[television syndication|syndication]] packages for ''Battlestar Galactica'' incorporate the episodes of this series. |
|||
===Cinema releases=== |
|||
Besides a re-edited version of the [[Saga of a Star World|pilot]], released originally in Canada, Europe and parts of Latin America and, following the broadcast of the series, in the U.S., two other ''Battlestar Galactica'' feature films were released in cinemas. Both ''Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack'' and ''Conquest of the Earth'' were made up of various episodes of the original series and ''Galactica 1980'' respectively. (See: [[List of Battlestar Galactica (1978, 1980) episodes#Feature length films|List of ''Battlestar Galactica'' feature films]]) |
|||
==Attempted revivals== |
|||
The original series maintained a [[cult television|cult]] fandom, which has supported efforts by [[Glen A. Larson]], [[Richard Hatch (actor)|Richard Hatch]], and [[Bryan Singer]] (independent of one another) to revive the premise. |
|||
Richard Hatch produced a demonstration video in 1998–1999 which featured several actors from the original series combined with state-of-the-art special effects. This video, titled ''[[Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming]]'', was displayed at [[science fiction convention]]s, but did not lead to a new series. |
|||
In 1999, ''[[Wing Commander (film)|Wing Commander]]'' producer Todd Moyer and original series producer [[Glen A. Larson]] revealed plans to produce a motion picture based on the television series.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=3247|title=GALACTICA Reborn ((Todd Moyer talks to Glen about the new movie, Richard Hatch press release, etc. !!!))|author=Glen Oliver|publisher=aintitcoolnews.com|date=March 16, 1999|accessdate=2006-06-14}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scifi.com/sfw/issue117/news.html |title=Science Fiction News of the Week |publisher=Scifi.com |date= |accessdate=2009-02-25}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.battlestargalactica.com/outside_docs/bg_outdoc0016.htm |title='Battlestar Atlantis - The Glen Larson / Todd Moyer partnership' |publisher=BattlestarGalactica.com |date= |accessdate=2009-02-25}}</ref> It would have featured [[Battlestar Pegasus]]. |
|||
In 2000, the director and an executive producer of the ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'' film, [[Bryan Singer]] and [[Tom DeSanto]], began developing a ''Galactica'' television miniseries with [[Studios USA]] for [[Fox Broadcasting Company|FOX]]. Intended to air as a [[Television pilot#Backdoor pilots|backdoor pilot]] in May 2002, filming was scheduled to begin in November 2001.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=8230|title=A New BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Series Is Coming!|author=El Cosmico|publisher=aintitcoolnews.com|date=February 22, 2001|accessdate=2006-06-14}}</ref> However, production delays caused by the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]] meant Bryan Singer had to drop out, due to his directing commitment on ''[[X2 (film)|X-Men 2]]''. This led Fox to lose interest in the project. |
|||
On 20 February 2009, [[IGN]] announced that they had information regarding a proposed revival of the 1970s version of the series as a feature film, with Glen A. Larson as writer and producer.<ref>{{cite web|title=Battlestar Galactica Movie Exclusive|url=http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/953/953459p1.html|date=|accessdate= 2009-02-20}}</ref> Universal Pictures has denied the rumours. |
|||
==2003 reimagining== |
|||
{{main|Battlestar Galactica (reimagining)}} |
|||
{{see also|List of Battlestar Galactica (reimagined series) episodes}} |
|||
Despite attempts to revive the series over the years, none came to fruition until it was [[reboot (continuity)|reimagined]] in 2003 by Universal Television as a miniseries. [[Sky1]] and the [[Sci-Fi Channel (United States)|Sci-Fi Channel]], with [[Ronald D. Moore]] and [[David Eick]], were the creative forces behind it. [[Edward James Olmos]] stepped into the role of [[Commander Adama]]. A weekly [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|new ''Galactica'' series]] followed, premiering on [[Sky1]] in the [[UK]] and [[Ireland]] in October 2004, and on Sci-Fi in the U.S. in January 2005. |
|||
===Miniseries=== |
|||
{{main|Battlestar Galactica (TV miniseries)}} |
|||
In December 2003, the American [[Sci-Fi Channel (United States)|Sci-Fi Channel]] broadcast a three-hour [[miniseries]] that [[reboot (continuity)|reimagined]] ''[[Battlestar Galactica (TV miniseries)|Battlestar Galactica]]''. This miniseries was so successful that Sci-Fi opted to develop this new version of ''Galactica'' into a television series. |
|||
===Television Series=== |
|||
{{main|Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)}} |
|||
The new series first aired in the UK and Ireland on [[Sky1]] in October 2004. The series debuted in North America on the [[Sci Fi Channel (United States)|Sci-Fi Channel]] in January 2005. Featuring most of the original cast from the mini-series, [[Edward James Olmos]] returns as Commander William Adama and [[Mary McDonnell]] as President Laura Roslin. Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Grace Park and Tricia Helfer round out the original cast.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407362/ "Battlestar Galactica" (2004)]</ref> |
|||
An edited version of the "pilot" [[Battlestar Galactica (TV miniseries)|miniseries]] was broadcast on [[NBC]]—a corporate sibling of the Sci-Fi Channel—on [[January 9]], [[2005]], five days before the Sci-Fi series premiere.{{Fact|date=May 2007}} NBC also aired three selected first-season episodes to promote the show in advance of the second-season premiere in July 2005. Three and a half seasons aired on Sci-Fi and Sky One between 2005 and 2008. Owing to production delays caused by the [[2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike|2007-2008 Writers Guild strike]], the fourth season was split into two parts, with a 7 month hiatus in between. The second half of the season began airing January 16, 2009. The fourth season will also air on [[Universal HD]] beginning in July 2009. A two-hour film (set during the show's second season), ''[[Battlestar Galactica: Razor]]'', aired on Sci-Fi on Saturday [[November 24]], [[2007]], as a prelude to the fourth season. |
|||
The series has won widespread acclaim among many mainstream non-genre publications. [[Time (magazine)|''Time'' magazine]],<ref>[http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1141640,00.html ''Time Magazine Dec. 16, 2005 issue'']</ref> [[Rolling Stone (magazine)|''Rolling Stone'' magazine]]<ref>[http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/9183391/intergalactic_terror/ ''Rolling Stone Magazine Jan. 27, 2006'']</ref> and ''[[New York Newsday]]''<ref>[http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/ny-fftv4561321dec25,0,795582.story ''New York Newsday Dec. 25, 2005'']</ref> named it the best show on television in 2005. Other publications like ''[[The New York Times]]'',<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/17/magazine/17GALACTICA.html?ex=1279252800&en=59af86a6d662986b&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss ''"Ron Moore's Deep Space Journey," The New York Times July 17, 2005'']</ref> ''[[The New Yorker]]''<ref>[http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2006/01/23/060123crte_television ''"Across the Universe," The New Yorker Jan. 23, 2006'']</ref> and ''[[National Review]]''<ref>[http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/suderman200601200838.asp ''"Starborn Society," The National Review Jan. 20, 2006'']</ref> also gave the show positive reviews. |
|||
The show has received a [[Peabody Award]] for overall excellence, several [[Emmy Award]]s for Visual Effects, and Emmy nominations for Writing and Directing. ''Time'' magazine has named it one of the 100 Best TV Shows of All Time.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/completelist/0,,1651341,00.html |title=Complete List - The 100 Best TV Shows of All |publisher=TIME |date= |accessdate=2009-02-25}}</ref> |

===Webisodes: ''The Resistance''=== |
|||
{{main|Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance}} |
|||
The first set of [[webisode]]s were a series of shorts produced to promote the third season of the show. They filled in some of the events between the second and third seasons and featured some of the main cast. These webisodes were made so as not to reveal what would happen in the beginning of season three. Season 3 was also set up so that missing the webisodes would not leave a viewer confused about the story. |
|||
Each of the ten webisodes was approximately three minutes in length, and they were released two times a week leading up to the U.S. Season 3 premiere. |
|||
===Webisodes: ''Razor Flashbacks''=== |
|||
{{main|Battlestar Galactica: Razor Flashbacks}} |
|||
The ''Razor Flashbacks'' were a small series of seven webisodes set during William Adama's fighter pilot days during the later stages of the First Cylon War. They were released on the Internet as "webisodes" leading up to ''Razor'''s release. They are now available on the DVD of ''Battlestar Galactica: Razor'' and some are inserted into the extended cut of the movie on the DVD (as opposed to none on the shorter version which aired on television). The installments that didn't make the final cut include 1, 2, & the latter half of 7. |
|||
===''Razor'' (TV Movie)=== |
|||
{{main|Battlestar Galactica: Razor}} |
|||
''Battlestar Galactica: Razor'' is a [[television movie]] produced and broadcast in the gap between Seasons 3 and 4. ''Razor'' is also technically the first 2 episodes of Season 4 though it chronicles events on [[Battlestar Pegasus|Battlestar ''Pegasus'']] in two time periods, both of which are "in the past" with respect to the Season 4 continuity. The "present day" framing scenes are set during Lee Adama's command, in the latter half of Season 2, while "flashback" scenes depict [[Helena Cain]]'s command in the period between the Cylon attack and the reunion with Galactica in the second season episode [[Pegasus (Battlestar Galactica)|''Pegasus'']]. Also during the extended episode the ''Razor Flashbacks'', which were previously released as webisodes, were integrated into the movie but only several were inserted into the shortened television cut. It aired in the United States and Canada on November 24 and in Britain and Ireland on December 18, 2007. An expanded version of the movie was released on DVD on December 4, 2007. |
|||
===Webisodes: ''The Face of the Enemy''=== |
|||
{{main|Battlestar Galactica: The Face of the Enemy}} |
|||
In late May 2008, a set of 10 webisodes were announced to be in the works which will be released during the 7 month hiatus between episodes 12 and 13.<ref>[http://www.comicmix.com/news/2008/05/29/battlestar-galactica-webisodes-and-tv-movie-update/ Battlestar Galactica Webisodes and TV Movie Update]</ref> The web series premiered on December 12, 2008 on SciFi.com.

On [[August 7]], [[2008]] Sci-Fi Channel officially announced the production of a two-hour TV movie which will air after the final episode of Season 4. Written by [[Jane Espenson]] and directed by [[Edward James Olmos]], ''The Plan'' storyline begins before the attack on the 12 colonies and will show events mainly from the perspective of two Cylon agents.<ref>[http://au.tv.ign.com/articles/908/908477p1.html "Battlestar Galactica TV-Movie Cast Additions" [[September 9]], 2008.]</ref> Confirmed cast members include Olmos, [[Michael Trucco]], [[Aaron Douglas (actor)|Aaron Douglas]] and [[Dean Stockwell]].<ref name="tvmovie">[http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2008/08/sci-fi-confirms.html "Sci Fi confirms details of 'Battlestar Galactica' movie" ''chicagotribune.com'' [[August 7]], 2008.]</ref> [[Tricia Helfer]], [[Grace Park (actress)|Grace Park]], [[Rick Worthy]], [[Matthew Bennett]], [[Callum Keith Rennie]], [[Michael Hogan (actor)|Michael Hogan]] and [[Rekha Sharma]] will also feature.<ref name="morecast">[http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2008/09/battlestar-gala.html "'Battlestar Galactica' movie snares Tricia Helfer, Grace Park and lots more Cylons" ''chicagotribune.com'' [[September 4]], 2008.]</ref> The movie began production on [[September 8]], [[2008]].<ref name="morecast"/> |

===''Caprica''=== |
|||
{{main|Caprica (TV series)}} |
|||
''Caprica'' is a television series, set to premiere on Sci-Fi in 2010, described as "television's first science fiction family saga". It was originally a 2-hour back door pilot for a possible weekly television series but on December 2, 2008 Sci-Fi gave the go-ahead to expand the project into a full series. ''Caprica'' will be set on the fictional planet Caprica around fifty years before the events depicted in the 2004 reimagined series. The show will revolve around two families, the Adamas and the Graystones, the building of the Cylons, and the beginnings of the first Cylon War. The pilot is directed by Jeffrey Reiner (''[[Friday Night Lights]]''), and stars [[Eric Stoltz]], [[Esai Morales]], [[Paula Malcomson]] and [[Polly Walker]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nothingbutsoftware.com/blog/2008/12/battlestar-prequel-given-greenlight-geeks-rejoice/|title=Caprica Greenlight}}</ref> Sci-Fi has ordered 20 hours of ''Caprica'' including a 2-hour pilot.

Creator [[Glen A. Larson]] is currently in talks with [[Universal Pictures]] to bring ''Battlestar Galactica'' to the big screen. The film will not be based on the [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Sci Fi Channel series of the same title]]; it will be based on the [[Battlestar Galactica (1978 TV series)|original series]] which starred [[Richard Hatch (actor)|Richard Hatch]], [[Dirk Benedict]] and the late [[Lorne Greene]].<ref>[http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b101019_old-school_creator_in_talks_big-screen.html Old-School Creator in Talks for Big-Screen "Battlestar Galactica"], ''E!

==Comic books== |
|||
{{main|Battlestar Galactica (comics)}} |
|||
A series of comic book publishers have adapted Battlestar Galactica since its inception. |
|||
[[Marvel Comics]] published a 23-issue comic book series based upon the show between 1978 and 1981. Other comics have since been published by [[Maximum Press]], Grandreams, [[Look-in]] Magazine, [[Realm Press]] and, currently, [[Dynamite Comics]]. Of all these series, only those by Marvel, Grandreams and Look-In actually completed their storylines and brought the story to a conclusion. All the other series were cancelled at various points during their run, with no resolutions. |
|||
Both the Grandreams and Look-In comic strips take place early in the series. The other comic series based on the 1978 series have been set after the final episode of the series and ignored ''[[Galactica 1980]]''. |
|||
The Maximum Press series began with the discovery of a completely unpopulated Earth some fifteen years after the conclusion of the TV show. The look and the feel of the comics had been changed considerably from the series, to give the stories a "more nineties" feel. |
|||
The Realm Press series picked up immediately after the conclusion of the final episode of the original series in an attempt to present what they called "Season Two" of the original show. |
|||
Dynamite Entertainment is currently publishing comic books featuring both the classic and reimagined ''Battlestar Galactica'' series. |
|||
[[TOKYOPOP]] will publish the manga ''Battlestar Galactica: Echoes of New Caprica'' in April 2009. |
|||
