Are you new to Battlestar Galactica? {#1}
Humanity has reached for the stars and populated twelve planets as colonies of their home planet Kobol in a distant part of the galaxy. Scientific advancement has created robots with artificial intelligence, the Cylons, that rebel against humanity and after a war agree to go their own way. But, 50 years later, the Cylons return with 12 advanced models capable of appearing human and quickly dominate humanity wiping out most and forcing some 50,000 humans to flee in ragtag fleet through space. The Cylons are confident that they are superior to the humans supposedly lacking many emotional flaws and possessing an abliity to be reborn into new bodies with memories of their past lives as well as an ability to share memories with replicate models. However, Cylons are unable to reproduce and unable to communicate with their one god that they believe replaces the human belief in Gods, so they are keen to gain these abilities from their human creators. Unable to reproduce among themselves, they attempt to reproduce with humans and insist that reproduction can only be successful if the humans fall in love with them, which is challenging to accomplish in part because the Cylons cannot shut up about how superior they are to humans. The Cylons avoid wiping out the remaining 50,000 humans preferring to chase them back to Earth in hopes of forcing a meeting with their god. The humans initially allow the remaining military to lead their flight but eventually accept that they need to cooperate and put aside past colony specific prejudices in order to survive as a species as their populationo dwindles. Civilian leadership chooses to abandon the quest for Earth and settle on another planet where the Cylons find them and enslave them. This causes a rift among the advanced Cylon models and a rift among the humans forcing new alliances, a civil war among the Cylons and a continuation of the flight to Earth. Out of hope, the humans despair but the one god sends angels to guide them to a new planet where the Cylons and humans can co-exist peacefully. __________________

It is an interesting idea cause I know A LOT of people were saying that they wanted to start or finish the series. So why not have this here for newbies; safe place for 1st timers to post without being spoiled on the board

I am completely new to it! Never seen it before but my best friend (and he is signed up to the board so hopefully will post) is a massive fan, so I said before I got allocated this board that I would watch it at some point, so I guess now is as good a time as any!

I'm sure that it will a board that has been closed for 5 years and having the show over for 6 years had to get us a board again, it was my mission and I did it
Wasting no time starting new Friday, we are starting a watch with the mini-series where it all began __________________

That's why I decided to have this thread I think many are interested in starting for the first time, had someone pop into the campaign saying had never seen it but had been interested. Also some others that had told me that they were interested, so getting the board back will maybe push some more to watch the series
PS fan-made trailer in the OP, great non-spoiler {not much either way} way to get a glimpse of the series __________________
