2003 was a dark and bitter time. 50 Cent and Evanescence were on the radio, sometimes back-to-back. Bruce Willis guest hosted The Late Show. And we were all genuinely excited to see The Matrix Reloaded.
Firefly was fading from memory like a dream so wonderful, you mourn waking. Farscape was clawing desperately and futilely for one more season. Buffy and Angel were coming to merciful, it’s-okay-if-it’s-anti-climactic ends.
A barren sci-fi wasteland awaited us. But what’s this? Could it be an oasis for our nerdy hearts? A new show that maybe just maybe could slake our thirst for geek TV? (Remember, oh my sons, that being a nerd wasn’t cool, yet.)
Lo, there, on the horizon: a reboot of Battlestar Galactica; a certified sci-fi classic that ran its concept so far up its own ass that everyone decided to forget that Galactica 1980 ever existed. But this wasn’t going to be your daddy’s Battlestar! This was a sci-fi series that fuuuuuuuuucked.
But not really, hahaha, this is basic cable.
Battlestar Galactica launched as a mini-series because no one was sure anyone would actually watch hard sci-fi, anymore. But the nerds were still jonesing and this was all we had. The miniseries didn’t suck, either. It was a thoughtful origin story that teased a tense and paranoid drama to come.
