The 12 Colonies of Man are all but wiped out by a cybernetic race called the Cylons(who are now hot clones as well as evil robots). Commander Adama and the Battlestar Galactica lead a ragtag human fleet of survivors in search of a mythical planet called Earth(it's like greek mythology but better). These first three episodes were originally presented as a three-hour premiere subtitled Saga of a Star World. (Original airdate: Sept. 17, 1978) The new series is awesome (2005)!
