『宇宙空母ギャラクティカ』（wikiではリ・イマジネーション版の新シリーズと区別してオリジナル・シリーズとも呼ぶ）は[[Glen A. Larson|グレン・Ａ・ラーソン]]による企画で、番組のコンセプトは当初は「アダマのアーク」（Adam's Ark）と呼ばれていた企画が発展したものである。ラ―ソンは1960年代に、この企画を立ち上げていたが、実現したのは1978年である。これは『[[Wikipedia:Star Wars (film)|スター・ウォーズ]]』の成功によるところが大きい。 | 『宇宙空母ギャラクティカ』（wikiではリ・イマジネーション版の新シリーズと区別してオリジナル・シリーズとも呼ぶ）は[[Glen A.

製作費を回収するべく、3時間のパイロット版を再編集して劇場公開することになった。アメリカでの初放送より数週間先に、2時間の劇場映画としてカナダ、ヨーロッパ、日本で公開された。1978年7月7日に封切され、まずまずの成績を収めた。 | 製作費を回収するべく、3時間のパイロット版を再編集して劇場公開することになった。アメリカでの初放送より数週間先に、2時間の劇場映画としてカナダ、ヨーロッパ、日本で公開された。1978年7月7日に封切され、まずまずの成績を収めた。 | ||

During its single season, the series went through a few phases, as the Fleet got farther away from the Colonies, and closer to Earth. | |||
After the initial series pilot, where the Fleet visited [[Carillon]], the next stop was the mythic planet [[Kobol (TOS)|Kobol]] where the ancient birthplace of humanity was found. Together, these two stories established the mythos of the series. | |||
Next, there were a series of episodes where the Colonials visited lost colonies such as [[Equellus]], [[Proteus]] and [[Antilla]]. | |||
In the middle of the season were some two part episodes that established foils for Commander Adama with the introduction of [[Commander Cain]] and [[Count Iblis]]. | |||
Then, there were some episodes that focused on the life of the Fleet, focusing on characters such as [[Chameleon]]. This was followed by a series of episodes based around the [[Terra]] arc. | |||
[[The Hand of God (TOS)| | Lastly, the Cylons, who had been absent for awhile, were reintroduced in the [[The Hand of God (TOS)|final episode]] of the series. | ||

There are two different opening narrations, both narrated by [[Patrick Macnee]], who portrayed Count [[Iblis]] and was the voice for the [[Imperious Leader]] during the series' run. | |||
The opening narration to "[[Saga of a Star World]]": | |||
: ''"There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with | : ''"There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with [[The Twelve Colonies (TOS)|tribes of humans]] who may have been the forefathers of the [[w:Ancient Egypt|Egyptians]], or the [[w:Toltec|Toltecs]], or the [[w:Maya civilization|Mayans]]. They may have been the architects of the great pyramids, or the lost civilizations of [[w:Lemuria (continent)|Lemuria]] or [[w:Atlantis|Atlantis]]. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive far, far away, amongst the stars.''" — {{video|/Intro Video|watch}} | ||

The closing narration was voiced by [[Lorne Greene]] and began in the episode "[[Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II]]": | |||
: ''"Fleeing from the Cylon tyranny, the last Battlestar, ''Galactica'', leads a ragtag, fugitive fleet, on a lonely quest—for a shining planet known as Earth."'' | : ''"Fleeing from the Cylon tyranny, the last Battlestar, ''Galactica'', leads a ragtag, fugitive fleet, on a lonely quest—for a shining planet known as Earth."'' | ||

In recent years, Glen Larson's son, Chris, discovered various memorabilia from his father's personal collection. In addition to packets for the official Battlestar Galactica Fan Club, he also came across [[Battlestar Galactica: Year Two proposal|a treatment]] for the second season of ''Battlestar Galactica''. In the treatment, many changes were proposed, including the reduction of the cast size, the addition of [[w:Issac Asimov|Issac Asimov]] as a story and science consultant, and massive character changes. | |||
While it is uncertain as to whether this document ever made it to Universal Studios, the document does shed light on the origin of various concepts introduced in ''[[Galactica 1980]]''. These concepts included the human android Cylons, the concept of Boomer being ''Galactica''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> executive officer, and the character of "Troy". | |||
== | ==Cancellation and Rebirths (of a sort)== | ||
Citing declining ratings and cost overruns, ABC canceled ''Battlestar Galactica'' in April 1979. Its last episode, "[[The Hand of God (TOS)|The Hand of God]]", was broadcast on April 29. Fans were generally shocked to find the series canceled as viewership was reasonably robust. However, after some years, some fans believe that ABC pulled the plug on the show after ratings began to drop after network executives ordered changes to storylines that resulted in a less appealing, "family oriented" format, as well as a distaste for the show and desire for more profitable fare. Some fans were more philosophical, believing that a [[continuation]] series or revival was possible, as it was for shows such as ''Star Trek'' and ''Night Gallery''.<ref>[http://www.cylon.org/bsg/bsg-article-01.htm ''Who Killed Battlestar?'', Editorial, by William J. Adams, ''Fantastic Films'' magazine (defunct), issue #29, June 1982.]</ref> | |||
After the series's cancellation, the pilot was edited together into a new theatrical release, with certain scenes trimmed or edited out completely. This release is notable for the incorporation of the [[w:Sensurround|Sensurround]] enhancement system first introduced in the film [[Wikipedia:Earthquake (film)|''Earthquake'']] in 1974, and is considered by most critics as perhaps the only film where the technology was used properly. It was, in fact, the last of only four films ever released in the US to feature Sensurround. | |||
Special effects shots from the series were reused in the low-budget 1988 film ''Space Mutiny'', which later had the dubious honor of being mocked on ''[[w:Mystery Science Theater 3000|Mystery Science Theater 3000]]''. | |||
A news story in fandom was reported on the suicide of a 15-year-old boy named Eddie Seidel, Jr., who jumped 200 feet from a bridge out of despair of the series' cancellation.<ref>[http://www.kobol.com/archives/suicide.html "TV Death", Associated Press, August 25, 1979. Reprinted on website Kobol.com.]</ref> | |||
A series [[spin-off]] did appear some months later in the form of ''[[Galactica 1980]]''. Despite initially promising ratings, the show became victim to questionable writing that was heavily influenced by science fiction clichés. The show was generally panned by critics and fans alike (with the exception of its [[The Return of Starbuck|last episode]]). ''Galactica 1980'' was canceled after only 10 episodes. | |||
Despite three attempts over the years to launch a [[continuation]] motion picture or series (the ''[[Battlestar Atlantis]]'' project from [[Glen Larson]], the ''[[Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming]]'' project by [[Richard Hatch]], and the studio-endorsed [[Battlestar Galactica (SDS)|Singer-DeSanto project]]), it would be approximately 23 years later before ''Battlestar'' fans would see a [[Re-imagined Series|new series]], but as a [[w:reboot (continuity)|reboot, or "re-imagined"]] version where the central theme remained, but a far darker storyline and significant character changes that would introduce a new facet in the ''Battlestar'' universe. | |||
Original Series fans also enjoyed new stories (which generally ignored ''Galactica 1980'' plotlines) in several novels and comic books. As of 2007, [[Dynamite Comics]] publishes an [[List_of_Comics#Dynamite_Comics|Original Series comic]] as well as several comics based in the [[Re-imagined Series]] continuity. | |||
