W bliżej nieokreślonym czasie ludzkość zamieszkuje dwanaście Kolonii Kobolu, na które składają się planety Aquaria, Aerelon, Canceron, Caprica, Gemenon, Leonis, Libran, Picon, Sagittaron, Scorpia, Tauron oraz Virgon, których nazwy pochodzą od starożytnych nazw konstelacji, w których się znajdują. Mieszkańcy kolonii żyją w dobrobycie i spokoju oraz tworzą Cylonów - maszyny, które mają wykonywać najcięższe prace i ułatwiać ludziom życie. Bajka ta trwa aż do momentu, gdy maszyny buntują się przeciw swym stwórcom w wyniku, czego wybucha wojna...
Serial zaczyna się 40 lat po Wojnie Cylońskiej, gdy jeden z ostatnich jej reliktów, okręt "Galactica" typu Battlestar ma się stać muzeum owego konfliktu. Życie jednak nigdy nie jest usłane różami, toteż w momencie, gdy po latach pokoju kolonie są osłabione, powracają żądne zemsty na swych stwórcach "dzieci ludzkości". Komandor William Adama pod wpływem nowo wybranej prezydent, Laury Roslin postanawia opuścić przestrzeń kolonii i wyruszyć z ocalałymi w poszukiwaniu nowego domu, legendarnej trzynastej kolonii - Ziemi.
Lets get straight to the point: bar none, Battlestar Galacticais the best science fiction television programme currently showing. In fact, lets go further. Its the best of the last decade. And truthfully? Youd find very few sci-fi fans whod disagree.
Whats more, plenty of people must be busy eating their words, too. Back when it was announced that Battlestar Galacticawas being revived, feelings were mixed, not helped by the divided reaction to the mini-series that kickstarted this iteration of the show. Yet over the past couple of years, its cleverly proven to be a tense, gripping mix of action and drama, with a tightly-woven plot.
This third season? Its arguably the best so far. A delicious soup of mystery, relevations, actions, striking characters and winding narrative, Battlestar Galacticais also served superbly well by a quality cast, some quality special effects, and a real focus on what matters from behind the camera.
As usual, there are no spoilers in this review, although its not giving much away to say that the deadly cylons have to share the screen time with some intriguing and revealing character development this time round. And with word that season four of the revived Battlestar Galacticawill be the last, things are set up for a terrific final act.
Season three of the show though is extraordinarily good, a real, genuine sci-fi classic thats going to have one mighty shelf life once this particularly iteration of the programme has gone. And with umpteen surprises to go back and check out, its never likely to be one to gather dust on the shelf, either. --Jon Foster
