Well T.J.!!....let's see how I can put this in as few words as possible. I will give you the "short version"...very short. I would hate to give too much of the story away in case you decide to watch it on DVD.

The humans created the Cylons(remember, they looked like "toasters"). Eventually the Cylons "rebelled" against the humans and so began the human-cylon war. Eventually an armistice was agreed to and the Cylons and humans "parted ways". Once a year a representative of the humans and a representative of the Cylons were to meet at a specially constructed space station to discuss the treaty, deal with any concerns, etc. For forty years the humans sent someone....the Cylons sent no-one. Until...Tricia Helfer (#6) shows up, looking "spectacular" I might add! She is accompanied by two "bodyguards" who do not look human. Basically, for 40 years the Cylons have been very busy "tweeking" and "improving" their "race" (for lack of a better word). The Cylons have created 12 models that look human (I won't tell you any more than that) of which there are multiply copies of each model. And those "clunky" toasters that were in the old series? They are much improved!! So, there you have it, T.J.! If you love Sci-Fi, then I suggest you rent "The Battlestar Galactica Miniseries". It is the 3 hour debut. When I was writing the part about #6 (Tricia Helfer) arrival on the space station in the paragraph above, it gave me goosebumps!

That is the short form...very short!

Thanks for the info but i kinda liked the 'toaster version as you call em, Maybe it's due to when i was in highschool i use to play dungeons and dragons a lot and the DM put Cylons in the game as villians silly yes but we were like 13 and 14 at the time Jennifer

T-J, I will admit that the "Centurians" from the old show looked pretty cool. But the show as whole was horrible. Tacky, cheap, typical 70's hoky sci fi. Tha annoying kid! That annoying dog! But the Cylon Centurians looked great!

Okay, TJ, you asked for it! "[SIZE="4"]By your commandSIZE]"

I will "re-visit" the old Battlestar series (it must be on "Space" or in the local video store, or maybe online). On one condition....you watch the new BSG?!

ONCE AGAIN...SCIENCE FICTION TELEVISION IS DONE A "DIS-SERVICE" BY THE EMMY ACADEMY. FRINGE...NOT NOMINATED FOR BEST SHOW OR BEST ACTORS, ETC. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA...NOT NOMINTED FOR BEST SHOW OR BEST ACTORS, ETC. DON'T KNOW IF THE EMMY FOLKS GIVE AWARDS FOR SPECIAL EFFECTS, BUT NOW I DO NOT CARE! THE EMMY AWARDS (JUST LIKE THE ACADEMY AWARDS) REALLY HATE SCI-FI!!

Favorites in no particular order: Firefly, Fringe, The X-Files, The Prisoner (series), The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the cheapo BBC tv series is still amazing, which is more than I can say for the waste of time and money that was the film adaptation), Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, The Twilight Zone, and, of course, the awesome Futurama.

The new take on V is showing a lot of promise too. And this would be an incomplete post without mentioning Star Trek:TNG and ST:TNG.

True Boxy and his robot dog Muffit were annoying but the clyon and the ships were nice and the show had humor like Boltar talking to his second in command 'Mock my words' And the second in command replies back " Don't i always" Jennifer
