Finding Battlestar Galactica

In 1978, when Battlestar Galactica first appeared on ABC, it seemed little more than a pleasant Sunday evening science fiction program. When it reappeared in its "reimagined" form in 2003, it redefined what television science fiction should be all about, becoming one of the most acclaimed shows of the decade.
