==Summary==
[[File:Image lg bgcast.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Some of the central cast of the new "Battlestar Galactica" series.]]
The 2003 [[Miniseries]] debut of '''''Battlestar Galactica''''' was a "[[Wikipedia:Reboot (continuity)|re-imagining]]," or updated version of [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|the 1970s "Battlestar Galactica"]] made [[Naturalistic science fiction|more suitable]] to the modern sensibilities of the 21st Century.  Aiming to tacle issues of civil rights, survival, terrorism, and religion, "Battlestar Galactica" is an sci-fi drama following the survivors of the human race&mdash;which number under 50,000.  A familiar but different [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar]] ''{{RDM|Galactica}}'' finds herself leading a refugee [[The Fleet (RDM)|fleet]] on a lonely (and [[Home, Part II|initially fictitious]]) quest for [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]], with turmoil from within and danger from without.

On the "Battlestar Wiki," the show's most common abbreviations are "the Re-imagined Series," or "RDM" for the initials of its executive co-producer and chief writer, [[Ronald D. Moore]] (as "Star Trek: The Next Generation" is often referred to as "TNG").  It was also initially disambiguated as "TNS" (for "The New Series"), or "BSG," but this has become rarer over time as it distinguished itself more from the {{TOS|Battlestar Galactica|1978 series}}, or the "Original Series" as it is commonly called on Battlestar Wiki.

"Battlestar Galactica" began (or, "re-began") as a four-hour [[Miniseries]] pilot that showed the destruction of the [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|Twelve Colonies]], but in a style more familiar and disturbing to today's viewers, making its events eerily reminiscent of feelings felt by many viewers to the sporadic and inconsistent news and chaos shown during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States.

While the ship was probably the most familar element derived from the Original Series, many elements of the new show were very, very different. The commander, [[William Adama]], is a battle-hardened, secularly-minded commander on the eve of retirement for himself and his combat-decorated old battlestar. The names of Original Series characters are now the pilot call signs for his son, {{callsign|Apollo}} and the crack-pilot, [[Kara Thrace|Kara "Starbuck" Thrace]]. Starbuck's change into a female character initially became a torrid issue to Original Series fans who feared this and other changes would render an inferior series.

However, some fans became pleasently suprised when the series aired. Unlike its Original Series counterpart, this new series has not only survived, preparing episodes for its third season beginning in in October, 2006, but has received many awards and nominations, including several Emmy nominations and one award, a Hugo Award, and even its own spin-off series, [[Caprica (series)|currently in development.]] However, it has recieved some critiscm from fans who feel it bastardized the original series, and some critics disliked it for various reasons.

2006年のTVシーズンの終わりには''バトルスター・ギャラクティカ''は"[[Wikipedia:Stargate SG-1|スターゲイトSG-1(Stargate SG-1)]]"やそのスピン・オフ"[[Wikipedia:Stargate Atlantis|スターゲイト・アトランティス(Stargate Atlantis)]]"を抜いてSci-Fi Channelの最高視聴率を獲得しました。 

== [[Original Series|オリジナル・シリーズ]]との変更点 ==
The basic story is still present: robotic [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] surprisingly attack the Colonies resulting in a holocaust, thus forcing a "rag-tag, fugitive fleet" to coalesce around the last surviving [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar]], ''{{RDM|Galactica}}'', to seek a mythical [[Earth (RDM)|Thirteenth Colony]] where refugees hope to find shelter from the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]].

However, many of the fine details are changed, such as:

* The Cylons were created by Humanity, not by a reptilian race (also called {{TOS|Cylons}}) who hated Humanity. This makes their origins similar to those of the machines of the [[Wikipedia:The Terminator|Terminator]] or the [[Wikipedia:The Matrix|The Matrix]].
* Battlestar ''Galactica'' is a 50 year old relic on the verge of decommission. 
* The names of "Apollo," "Boomer," and "Starbuck" are changed to call signs.  Most characters have standard first and last names; some first names were not given until later in the series, such as [[Felix Gaeta|Felix Gaeta's]] or [[Anastasia Dualla|Anastasia Dualla's]]. 
* The futuristic (and often confusing) terminology used to denote units of measurement, such as distance and time, in the original series has been replaced with understandable terminology. For instance, "year" was replaced with "yahren" in the original. 
* The ship designs, save for some revisions to the [[Viper (RDM)|Mk. II Viper]] and ''{{RDM|Galactica}}'' and a few noteworthy background ships (such as the [[Astral Queen]] and the [[Botanical Cruiser]]), have been redone.
* The [[Quorum of Twelve]] is not mentioned in the miniseries, and is apparently supplemented by a government body similar to the United States [[WikiPedia:executive branch|executive branch]].  There is a president, vice president, and secretaries. The [[Quorum of Twelve|Quorum]] does not make an appearance until episode 1.11 {{TRS|Colonial Day}}.
* Instead of the other-worldly, Egyptian-esque clothing and city designs (i.e. pyramids) seen in the original, the clothing and cities are more contemporary in design and function.  

キャラクターとその人間関係もオリジナル・シリーズとは大きく異なる。

* [[Boomer (TOS)|ブーマー(Boomer)]]はオリジナル・シリーズでは[[Herb Jefferson Jr.]]演じる男性キャラクターの名前だが、新シリーズでは女性中尉[[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|シャロン・ヴァレリー(Sharon Valerii)]] ([[Grace Park]])のコール・サインに変更されている。
* [[Starbuck (TOS)|スターバック(Starbuck)]]はオリジナル・シリーズでは[[Dirk Benedict]]演じる男性キャラクターの名前だが、女性大尉[[Kara Thrace|カラ・トレイス(Kara Thrace)]] ([[Katee Sackhoff]])のコール・サインに変更されている。
* "アダマ"、"タイ"、"バルター"は姓名に変更されている。  
* The character of {{TOS|Adama}}, portrayed by [[Lorne Greene]] in the Original Series, becomes [[William Adama|William "Husker" Adama]] ([[Edward James Olmos]]). Adama's beliefs are far more secular than his TOS counterpart.
* {{TOS|Apollo}}, portrayed by [[Original Series]] star and continuation activist [[Richard Hatch]], is the call sign of {{callsign|Lee Adama}} ([[Jamie Bamber]]).  
* {{TOS|Baltar}}, who was willingly complicit in the destruction of the Colonies due to his thirst for power, is now a scientific genius named [[Gaius Baltar]]. 
* The character of Colonel [[Tigh (TOS)|Tigh]], portrayed by [[Terry Carter]], is now separated from his wife and seeing out the rest of his career from inside a bottle in the form of Colonel [[Saul Tigh]] ([[Michael Hogan]]) who hasn't seen military action in a long while.

The show has taken a more realistic turn.  [[Science in the Re-imagined Series|Realistic science]], which was painfully absent in the Original Series, is applied in this series.

Certain models of Cylons [[Humanoid Cylon|appear human, right down to the blood]]&mdash;it takes complex tests just to screen for these [[Humanoid Cylon|Humanoid Cylons]].  This generates some very disturbing questions.  For one, the Cylons have now managed to merge in with human society, making it easier to manipulate from within.  This mirrors terrorist methods of infiltration and delivering destructive results to heavy population centers (a la suicide bombers).
