The Battlestar Galactica (Re-imagined Series) Portal

If you're old enough, you might have seen the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica and Galactica 1980 way back when. But did you know there is a new series out there?

The new Battlestar Galactica created and produced by Ronald D. Moore, has been the talk of the town on science fiction websites and entertainment magazines alike. It is a reboot of the two previous series, but maintains its own story line with a darker tone and rich characterizations, intrigue and action.

As the series prepares for its fourth and final season, the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica has captivated us and inspired us to think outside of the box.

Did you know...

Number Six beats up Sharon Valerii on Caprica.

...that the name "Number Six" is, according to Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion (Titan Books, 2005), written by David Bassom, an indirect tribute to Patrick McGoohan's cult 1967 television series The Prisoner - a series that addressed topics such as personal freedom and identity, mind control, illusionary experiences and the infiltration of society's supposed guardians (secret agents) by a nefarious force (those behind The Village)?

...that when Anders calls humanoid Cylons "Skin Jobs" in the episode "Downloaded", it is a referrence to the classic scifi film Blade Runner, also starring Edward James Olmos?

...that according to series creator Ron Moore, the Twelve Colonies are actually 12 planets circling one star in the same solar system?

...that Gage and Vireem's beating of Chief Tyrol and Helo with bars of soap inside of socks in "Resurrection Ship, Part II" is a direct homage to a similar scene from the film Full Metal Jacket?

...a Verizon Wireless ringtone is the theme from the "Final Cut" documentary?
