Maybe as the years go by the political allegories presented here might get lost.

The two most important developments in this episode. The cylons have infiltrated the human population, they might be in the Galactica already and implemented devices.

Adama tells the crew and survivors that they need to leave their solar system and find a way to the mythical planet Earth.

The relationship between Gaius and Number Six seems to developing a life of its own.

A good strong second episode. After seeing the various human Cylons. You can sense why after this two parter, a full series was launched.

Welcome to the conclusion to the introduction that we got, to what is perhaps the most game-changing science fiction ever produced.

This mini series is the equivalent of four regular series episodes, and they launch the basic ideas: that a totally separate human society can resemble us so deeply and believably, that the Cylons can pull off the ultimate tactic i.e. Perfect ruthless infiltration by remaking themselves into humans, and the most controversial one - that a Supreme Being guides or regards our mere mortal fates. I can't remember another science fiction premiere, where the characters and conflicts and the world they inhabit arrived so fully formed and launch into the big story.

Even on the seventh time, this miniseries retains its power to move one deeply. I choked up yet again on the moments we love, involving Roslin, the Adamas, Boomer and Helo; and at the best moments underscored by Richard Gibbs' soaring swelling themes, as Galactica drives forward into its dark uncertain future.

Every time I return to the BSG 2003 miniseries, I feel like I have been reborn. I hope this feeling never goes away. If this is your first time, enjoy it.
