如果这个中文名字让你立刻联想到小时候流行全国的日本动画,请打住! 这完全是两码事.
讲空战的电影/故事有很多,美国拍,日本拍;真人,动画; 好看的美剧也有很多, Lost, PB, Heroes…
即便是这样，种类繁多，数目惊人的电视剧中，BSG还是很值得推荐的。
The world ended with no warning, and all that was left … was hope.
The Cylons were created by the people of the Twelve Colonies. Intelligent robots, they were used as slaves and soldiers to fight humanity’s wars. But the Cylons became sentient and they rebelled. Man and machine fought to a bloody stalemate, then the Cylons withdrew to a remote region of space.
A truce between the Twelve Colonies and the Cylons lasted for 40 tense and silent years. Each year, on the anniversary of the treaty-signing, humanity sent an envoy to the neutral ground of Armistice Station to meet with a Cylon envoy. For 39 years, no Cylon envoy came.
Then, on the 40th anniversary, a stunning blonde — a Cylon in human form — met the human envoy … moments before the Cylons vaporized the station and launched a genocidal attack on the Twelve Colonies.
In one devastating day, billions of human lives were consumed by nuclear fires. Only those souls fortunate enough to be aboard starships were able to band together and escape and flee into deep space, led by the sole surviving Colonial warship, the battlestar Galactica.
The Galactica and its crew seemed to be unlikely saviors for humanity’s fewer than 50,000 desperate survivors. The ship was old and had been about to be decommissioned and turned into a museum when the Cylon attack occurred. In the aftermath its commanding officer, William Adama, found himself responsible for safeguarding the last remnants of the human race.
Meanwhile, the annihilation of the Colonial government on Caprica resulted in the succession of Laura Roslin, the Secretary of Education, to the presidency. Driven by prophetic visions and political necessity, she set the fleet upon a quest that will take it into the farthest reaches of unexplored space … in search of the mythical, lost “13th colony” — Earth.
BSG历史: 可以看出BSG的历史很悠久阿，而且相关的产品也很多，电影，电视，游戏，漫画．．．
我推荐的是Reimagining的版本：到目前为止，包括一个TV miniseries，一个Webisodes，以及4个Season。Season4还在制作中，据传言，Season4将是final season．
刚刚看完TV miniseries，还有Season1的Episode1，2。TV miniseries长达3小时，真彪悍！摘一段话在这里：
Apollo: I can’t stop thinking about the Olympic Carrier
Commander: That was three days ago.It’s ancient history under these circumstances. Leave the second-guessing to the historians.
Apollo: But don’t we have a responsibility? I mean, as leaders, don’t we have an obligation to question our actions to…
Commander: I don’t know. To make sure the decisions we make are the right decisions. We did what we had to do, Son. A man takes responsibility for his actions, right or wrong. He accepts the consequences and lives with them… every day.
