Reviews:

The highest potential of any sci-fi series ever…
As remembering ‘Battlestar’ from the viewpoint of a youngster in the late 70s – early 80s, I would give it a 9/10.

Viewing ‘Battlestar’ from the viewpoint of a near 30 male in the year 2000, I give it 7/10. (I have all 24 episodes on tape)

The special effects were near the late 70’s level of “Star Wars”, and that is truly saying something considering this was a made for TV movie / weekly series. Sure, the stories were uneven. However, to put that in perspective, they rode the gambit from the morality plays of Star Trek (TOS) to the character stories of Star Trek (TNG).

The backstory involved the last known group of ‘humans’. After they were given a ‘Pearl Harbor’ job by the alien bad guys and nearly wiped out, they went in search of a long lost colony. This colony was located on a planet called ‘Earth’.

This was really a revolutionary show. It took the best ‘good vs evil’ elements of Star Wars and combined them with the ‘every show is a lesson’ elements of Star Trek (TOS). If you weren’t contemplating the human nature element of the story, you were involved in the characters.

Unfortunately, you were rarely concerned about both of those within the same episode. In my opinion, this is the only major flaw of the series, it was somewhat unbalanced from show to show. This is somewhat understandable from a series that was wrought with network politics and never made it past 25 episodes. Nevertheless, this is a series that would be very much enjoyed by any true sci-fi fan.

If you don’t know the history of the show by now… ABC canned it, despite well above average ratings. The brass felt the show was too expensive. What could have been one of the great sci-fi TV series of all time was done after 24 episodes.

I place ‘Battlestar’ behind only Star Trek (TOS) as the best sci-fi TV series of all time.

Guilty Pleasure
This is one of my favorite sci-fi shows, but I certainly recognize its flaws.

The Good:

* the concept

—> I liked the historical context of the 12 tribes of Kobol, the Pearl Harbor-like attack, the “ragtag fugitive fleet” seeking Earth. This really framed the series well.

—> The look of the Ceylon base ships and the bat-wing Ceylon fighters was terrific. I also liked the look of the battlestars and Colonial vipers. The command center of the battlestar seemed believable.

* the casting:

—> Lorne Greene as Adama brings a commanding screen presence

—> Richard Hatch as Apollo is well-cast and believable as a leader/captain of a fighter wing

—> Dirk Benedict as Starbuck the amiable sarcastic sidekick

—> John Colicos as Baltar oozed evil with perfection

—> other minor cast members like Herbert Jefferson Jr as Boomer and Terry Carter as Colonel Tigh were very well cast too

—> I thought the three most visible female characters were all good, though not standout. Maren Jensen, Laurette Spang, and Anne Lockhart just also happened to be beautiful too.

—> visiting cast members like:

——-> Lloyd Bridges as Commander Cain was truly memorable

——-> Patrick McNee as Count Iblis was also highly memorable

——-> Ray Milland and Fred Astaire were good guest stars too

* the costumes

—> I liked the Colonial Warrior uniforms – they still have a style to them today. I liked the Warrior helmets with their Egyptian-like motif.

—> The Ceylon warriors with their shiny armor, had a great look to them too. The red strobe they used for vision was a great menacing concept.

* some episodes with great plot lines

—> the return of Commander Cain and the Pegasus stands out

—> I thought the visit to the “home” planet of Kobol, with its Egyptian motifs, was terrific. This is part of the pilot’s introductory three episodes.

—> I also liked the encounter with the Ship of Lights and Count Iblis – this was especially well done.

* the music – I still like the theme song to Battlestar Galactica

* the behavior of the Ceylons was entertaining. “By your command” spoken in a tinny voice was a favorite.

The Bad:

* some cheesy special effects (by today’s standards)

—> …and reuse of the same special effects

—> why was Count Iblis’ crash site off-color in one moment, and clear blue the next?

* quite a lot of cheesy cringe-inducing dialogue

* the little kid Boxie and his robot dog

* some of the episodes had really horrible plot lines, especially later in the series

—> the Lost Warrior where the kids attack the Ceylon outpost

—> why did Baltar return to the human fleet again?

The Ugly:

* the original show was cancelled after one season

* Galactica 1980, the follow-on show in which the battlestar finds earth, was pretty horrible

All in all, I am willing to forgive Battlestar Galactica’s flaws and remember with fondness its strengths.
