Starbuck and Helo from Battlestar Galactica 

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The upcoming remake of Battlestar Galactica won't be able to recapture the unique element that made the 2004 series so revolutionary. The first Battlestar Galactica was firmly of its times, a solid if ultimately forgettable sci-fi series in an age where Star Trek was the industry standard. The remake of the show, which debuted in 2004, conversely became a critical smash-hit that changed the way sci-fi is presented on TV.

Battlestar Galactica 2004 Was One Of The First TV Shows To Properly Do Serious Sci-Fi TV Sci-Fi Became Something Different After Battlestar Galactica The Battlestar Galactica reboot needs to escape the shadow of the 2004 version of the franchise, which radically reinvented what sci-fi on television could mean. There were plenty of dramatic sci-fi shows on television long before Ron Moore's remake of Battlestar Galactica debuted.

Big sci-fi franchises like Star Wars and Star Trek have directly adapted to this change in tone, with shows like Star Trek: Discovery and Andor directly paralleling the more grounded elements of Battlestar Galactica. While some shows like the self-aware campy Doctor Who have retained their own unique approach to the genre, spin-offs like Torchwood show how even they've been influenced. The modern sci-fi landscape would be very different without Battlestar Galactica's influence.
