About Battlestar Galactica
Battlestar Galactica is the gripping drama of human survival against unimaginable odds. When the Cylon robots rose against their human creators, they launched a devastating nuclear attack that left less than 50,000 survivors. On the run and in search of a new home, the last remnants of humanity struggle against waning supplies, weapons and hope. Redefining the space opera with its gritty realism, Galactica's intensity, issues-driven topicality, and command performances have garnered it unprecedented critical acclaim. The show has also been honored with the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award, an Emmy, and been lauded by the American Film Institue (AFI) as one of the most outstanding programs on television for two years running. Battlestar Galactica returns to SCI FI in early 2008 for its fourth and final season.
