Battlestar Galactica
So say we all!
Created by Ronald D. Moore, Glen A. Larson
On Syfy
A serialized military space opera that treats the survival of humanity as both a tactical and existential crisis, grounded in character relationships and moral ambiguity.
When an old enemy, the Cylons, resurface and obliterate the 12 colonies, the crew of the aged Galactica protect a small civilian fleet - the last of humanity - as they journey toward the fabled 13th colony, Earth.
