Portal:Characters/Intro
From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
Characters make the story interesting in all three of the Battlestar Galactica series shows. Each series has no shortage of characters to make every show that has been produced interesting and dynamic. However, there are differences nowadays where certain characters from the Orginal Series were changed for the Re-imagined Series. Boomer in the original Battlestar Galactica was a black male, whereas Boomer in the Re-imagined Series is an Asian female (and a Cylon). Religion, sexuality, and even nationality are now part of each characters' motives, making Galactica a place that is influenced by real-life situations.
