Battlestar Galactica

Battlestar Galactica

An event hosted by , RHUL Science Fiction and Fantasy society.

The three hour miniseries that re-booted Battlestar Galactica from a slightly embarrassing, very low budget series to an Emmy award-winning masterpiece that the Guardian described as "a series that's as passionate and intelligent as The West Wing when debating war and terrorism, or as emotionally articulate about death, loss and love as Six Feet Under, or as trippy, mystical and deliciously baffling as Twin Peaks."

But they still changed Starbuck's gender, so what do the critics know?

To set the scene:

"The Cylons were created by Man.
They were created to make life easier on the Twelve Colonies.
And then the day came when the Cylons decided to kill their masters.
After a long and bloody struggle, an armistice was declared.
The Cylons left for another world to call their own.
A remote space station was built...
...where Cylon and Human could meet and maintain diplomatic relations.
Every year, the Colonials send an officer.
The Cylons send no one.
No one has seen or heard from the Cylons in over forty years..."
