Forty years after the end of the Cylon War, the artificially-created Cylons declare war on humanity by attacking and destroying the twelve colonies. The military crumbles after their newly updated ships shut down in the face of a new unknown Cylon weapon. A lone battlestar known as Galactica, due to be decommissioned and converted into a museum, turns out to be the only thing standing between the Cylons and the total destruction of the human race.

Notes

The Astral Queen

The Astral Queen is a prison ship that survived the Cylon attack on the Colonial homeworlds. According to the DVD commentary, the ship was named for a passenger vessel in the episode "The Conscience of the King" from the original Star Trek series. (edit)
Part 2.0 and Part 2.5 aired on the same night, forming the second part of the 4-hour miniseries.

The miniseries has been divided into Parts 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 in this guide because iTunes divided the miniseries into four (unequal) parts. (edit)

Doral: I don't suppose it matters to you that I am not a Cylon?
Tigh: The smartest thing you can do right now would be to shut your mouth. (edit)
Doral: No, I'm begging you! Please don't do this! I'm not a Cylon!
Tigh: Maybe, but we just can't take that chance.
Doral: I'm not a Cylon! What kind of people are you? Don't leave me! (edit)
Adama: They have to start making babies.
Tigh: (confused) Is that an order? (edit)

The Battlestar Galactica prepares a final standoff with a cylon fleet before attempting escape with a band of human refugees. Terrific visuals on the action-packed conclusion to this character rich exploration of human morality.
