The premise: The crew of an aged Galactica carry what’s left of humanity toward a fabled Earth colony following a devastating attack by a sentient robotic race known as Cylons.
Syfy had done space operas in the past — 1999’s Farscape comes to mind — but in 2004 we got the reimagined Battlestar Galactica, which essentially changed the entire TV game for the network. The show is beyond addictive: the Cylons are both sympathetic and incredibly frightening, and a number of actors play dual (or triple or more) roles, making it one of those properties that continually keeps you guessing.
