By todays standards it might look naive but this was a groundbraking series at it's time. If you only know the remake take the time to watch this. It's worth it. Whatever you do, do NOT watch the movies (Specials). They are basically put together from parts of the series. The first is a shortened Version of the three-part "Saga of a Star World" which starts the show. The second is made of parts from "The Living Legend" and "Fire in Space" which are put together rather clumsy and in a different order, in the end telling a different story through large parts.

It's the Æneid meets Chariots Of the Gods with a healthy dose of Mormon theology & anthropology set in a swinging '70s milieu.

I watched the pilot of the original Battlestar Galatica the other night [in 2012]. And then I removed the series from our Netflix queue immediately. Even the completist in me doesn’t care that I haven’t watched the original before I properly watch the reboot of the show. This stuff has not aged More
