Battlestar Galactica's final season introduces a shocking twist: two planets named Earth. This article explores the reasons behind this naming convention and delves into the lore surrounding the two Earths.
The reason two different planets share the name ' Earth ' in Battlestar Galactica is not as straightforward as it might seem. From the beginning of Ronald D. Moore's 2004 Battlestar Galactica reboot, the titular ship's primary mission is leading the evacuated Colonial Fleet to Earth . The Galactica succeeds in that mission - and then succeeds all over again. The first Earth is sighted partway through season 4, then Battlestar Galactica 's ending introduces a different Earth entirely.
The sci-fi series does provide a broad explanation for why this second planet is also named Earth, but like many aspects of Battlestar Galactica's controversial finale, a cloud of ambiguity remains. Placing Battlestar Galactica's two-Earths twist under scrutiny, questions arise over exactly how these totally separate planets come to bear a single name. Intriguing inferences can be made by digging deeper, but as was often the case across Battlestar Galactica's four seasons, the answers tend to yield more questions. What Happened To Battlestar Galactica's Original Earth Thought Our Earth Was Bad? Try Living Here Close In Battlestar Galactica lore, humanity traces back to a planet called Kobol, but a faction of inhabitants struck out into space alone and settled on a planet they called Earth - the first Earth in Battlestar Galactica. These colonists were not human in the traditional sense, but rather early Cylons built on Kobol. Oddly, the colonists being mechanical themselves didn't stop them from creating a new army of machines as a personal workforce. These machines inevitably attained sentience, rose up against their masters, and started a conflict that resulted in the original Earth's devastation.
