Battlestar Galactica (2004) is a re-make of a 1978 post-apocalyptic science fiction TV series. The pilot episode, originally a mini-series, aired on the Sci-Fi channel in December 2003 and the series ran until March 2009.The series takes place in a universe where humanity creates a race of self-aware, artificially intelligent automatons known as Cylons, who are capable of mimicing the appearance of humans. After a devastating assault on the human worlds, the last vestiges of humanity flee into space searching for a haven from the Cylon attacks, protected solely by a warship, or Battlestar, known as the "Galactica". Throughout the series, complex issues such as religion, politics, and the meaning of what it is to live are explored.
