Each Battlestar Galactica Is A Product Of Its Time
The original Battlestar Galactica premiered in 1978, roughly one year after Star Wars hit the movie theaters. Battlestar Galactica received a great deal of criticism and was harshly labeled a knockoff of Star Wars, to the extent that 20th Century Fox filed a copyright infringement suit against Universal. In the long term, however, the show proved to be a stand-alone. In the '70s, there was great excitement about Americans having landed on the moon, provoking a hunger for movies and programing that dealt with outer space. Battlestar Galactica depicted The Quorum as corrupt and buffoonish, this drawn from the distrust of politicians post-Vietnam and Nixon's resignation. The machine-like nature of the Cylons evoked a fear of technology fueled by the nuclear proliferation of the Cold War.
The Battlestar Galactica reboot came on the heels of 9/11 and the War on Terror, both of which heavily influenced the tone and recurring themes of the show. In Battlestar Galactica, as in America, there was a massive, devastating attack followed by an extreme vigilance against "the enemy." The Cylons committed acts of terrorism and genocide. There was reminiscent imagery with Six protecting Baltar from the horizontal nuclear blast through a paned-glass window, and the Wall of Commemoration on Galactica with pictures of lost loved ones. President Roslin said, "The interesting thing about being president is that you don't have to explain yourself to anyone," which harkened to the unilateral powers of an American president during wartime. Battlestar Galactica tackled issues of terrorism, torture, and extralegal activities by turning those debates on their heads. In season 1, Starbuck tortured Leoban because he said he knew the location of a nuclear warhead hidden in the fleet that will soon explode. In season 3, under the Cylon occupation of New Caprica, the humans decided to use suicide bombing in an attempt to overthrow the vicious authority of the Cylons. Serious realities of the post-9/11 world were put into an entirely different context, rendering them morally gray.
