Battlestar Galactica

Battlestar Galactica is an American science fiction franchise centered on humanity's flight from robotic enemies called Cylons.

The original 1978 television series depicted survivors aboard massive warships called battlestars searching for Earth.

A 2004 reimagining became critically acclaimed for its darker tone and political allegory.

We're doing a Battlestar Galactica marathon this weekend.
