The show's premise is an space-faring, industrialized, polytheistic society are surprised-attacked (and devastated, only a small band of humans survive) by Cylons, a sentient, monotheistic 'terrorist' group.
- jacques_chester 14y agoAh, I see. I think it's a different premise though. The novel is about an uncontested superpower dealing with asymmetric conflict. BSG seems to be more of a classic symmetric war to me.
- jimktrains2 14y agoCaprica is more on the terrorist end of things where the BSG reboot is more of a normal war/in fighting/search and destroy premise.
