The best sci-fi show you could ask for. Probably the best show on TV.

May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.

Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:

* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic
"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

The title of a show that was produced in 1978, and again in 2004 as a remake of the original series. The plot follows the crew of the Battlestar Galactica and a fleet of ships as they search for Earth, while all the while being chased by the Cylons, a group of sentient robots that want to destroy humanity.

Remarkable drama/sci-fi TV series that virtually renders any other form of TV entertainment completely obsolete.
"I've heard 'Television' is going to be renamed to 'Battlestar Galactica', since scientists have concluded that logically, it is the only program worth seeing. As of 00:00 tonight, all other programs are going to be abolished and daily programming will consist solely on Battlestar Galactica runs and re-runs for the next hundred years.
-Shit man."

The best fraking show ever! About a group of humans who have fled their home worlds due to destruction from group of sentient robots( aka Cylons) they then engage in a search for a new plant (Earth) then, temporarily forget about the planet due to the discovery of Cylons living within the fleet, and eventually end the story by finding out interesting things about some main character's species. Throughout the coarse of the show there is a lot of chaos, killing off main characters, sex, running out of supplies and Bob Dylan songs. Much better than it sounds.... However, the ending is highly disappointing, so after season 2.5, just stop watching and make up your own ending. The show has a prestory that is now airing on syfy called Caprica.
Sara: Hey, did you watch BSG like I told you to?
Jess: Yeah...
Sara:Didn't you frakn' LOVE IT?
Jess: Um...
Sara: Oh... Next time watch the 2003 remake.
The original Battlestar Galactica is NOT what I'm talking about, people!

Geek porn. Science fiction drama which has seen unprecedented mainstream appeal, featuring the acting of Mary McDonnell, Edward James Olmos, Jamie Bamber, Tricia Helfer, and other surprisingly solid but unheard of actors. Referred to as "BSG."
Day after new episode of Battlestar Galactica airs:
Friend 1:"Hey man, did you catch the new episode of BSG last night?"
Friend 2:"No, I was having sex with my girlfriend. Sorry!"
Friend 1:"Jesus man, you fail at life."
