Jamie Bamber, Katee Sackhoff, and James Callis in a promo for Battlestar Galactica Season 2
The Big Picture There are few better arguments for the merit of rebooting a television show than Ronald D. Moore’s acclaimed reimagining of the Battlestar Galactica franchise. While the original series of the same name from 1978 was certainly a fun, Star Wars-adjacent space adventure, it retained little more than a cult fan base after being canceled following its first season.
Battlestar Galactica TV-14 Sci-FiActionAdventureDrama When an old enemy, the Cylons, resurface and obliterate the 12 colonies, the crew of the aged Galactica protect a small civilian fleet - the last of humanity - as they journey toward the fabled 13th colony, Earth. Many characters from the original Battlestar Galactica were radically changed from the original series; while the 1978 shows featured John Colicos as an entirely malevolent version of Gaius Baltar, James Callis turned the character into a somewhat sympathetic, far less competent anti-hero. However, Sackhoff’s casting was met with backlash from those who opposed the gender swapping of Starbuck.
Starbuck Became a Fan-Favorite Hero in 'Battlestar Galactica' Starbuck was quickly established as one of Battlestar Galactica’s most complex characters. Like many of the Galactica’s pilots, Starbuck is brave to a fault; she’s willing to put herself in danger for the sake of her crew and consistently goes on risky missions in an attempt to cheat death.
