An Analytical Guide to Television's Battlestar Galactica

When the space drama Battlestar Galactica debuted on ABC in 1978, it was expected to be the most popular new program of the year. Instead, it was attacked as a Star Wars rip-off and canceled after a mere 17 stories. The author acknowledges the show was full of dramatic clich�s and scientific inaccuracies, but despite these shortcomings, Battlestar Galactica was a dramatically resonant series full of unique and individual characters, such as Commander Adama (Lorne Greene) and ace warrior Captain Apollo (Richard Hatch).

The author contends that Battlestar Galactica was a memorable attempt to make science fiction accessible to mainstream television audiences. The brilliant work of artist John Dykstra brought a new world of special effects to network television. Battlestar Galactica also skillfully exploited legends and names from both the Bible and ancient mythology, which added a layer of depth and maturity to the weekly drama.
Customer Review: Thoughtful, objective commentary
The author impressed me with his knowledge of the history of the show including the legal milieu surrounding BG and Star Wars. While I thoroughly enjoyed BG series as a very young man, I am now adult enough to accept the obvious production flaws the author exposes in his superb objective analysis of the series.

I recommend this book for those who would wish to recapture the essence of the series and further understand the importance of the SF TV genre. Buy It Now At Amazon!

Battlestar Galactica: Saga of a Star World (Battlestar Galactica (Paperback))

Before Star Trek: The Next Generation, Farscape and Stargate SG-1, there was 1980s cult TV series Battlestar Galactica: the smash-hit sci-fi show that rocked the spaceways with its legendary stories, memorable villains and awesome hair styles!

This classic comic-strip adaptation tells the story of the very first episodes of the hit TV series. After a surprise attack by battle droids, the Cylons, the human race faces extinction. Now the last remaining warship, the Battlestar Galactica, leads a ragtag refugee fleet across a savage galaxy in a desperate search for that one glimmer of hope amongst the stars — the planet Earth!
Customer Review: A Very Cool Comic for a Very Cool Show!
RE: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: SAGA OF A STAR WORLD

This is a Titan Books (UK) collection reprinting several issues of the seventies Marvel Comics adaption and continuation of the original BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. First of all, let me talk about the talents involved herein. The art for the theatrical movie/series pilot adaption is by Ernie Colon, a very talented artist who isn't quite a perfect fit for BSG, but he did a yeoman's job anyway. The highlight, though, is the later issues with art by the great WALTER SIMONSON, who later went on to do a absolutely legendary revamp of Marvel's THOR and later still, an ORION series for DC Comics that remains a critically acclaimed cult favorite. These stories aren't at that level, certainly, but they are a lot of fun!

The reproduction leaves a bit to be desired, however. The movie adaption seems to be reproduced from a clean source, probably from the Marvel Treasury Edition in the seventies, but the Simonson issues (which are the cream anyway) come from lesser sources. They could have looked much better. Not that this lessens the enjoyment of reading the stories, of course, but I kind of expect better from Titan after the bang-up job they did on their ALIEN LEGION collections.

But, I'll be there when the second volume, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: THE MEMORY MACHINE, comes out soon!

RECOMMENDED! Buy It Now At Amazon!

Customer Review: A Good Book for a General Introduction - Serious Fans May Be Disappointed
Overall this is a decent little guidebook into the world of the new Battlestar Galactica series. Most people will find a lot of good general information.

However, for serious fans, there is very little we don't already know contained in this book. Also, apparently this guide was thrown together quite hastily, and by people not that closely associated with production, because it contains many pieces of information which are in direct contradiction to statements/info/events in the show and on RDM's weekly podcasts.

Overall, meh, it could use some work. Thankfully the quality of the guide does not reflect the quality of the show. Buy It Now At Amazon!
