Battlestar Galactica

The Cylons look like US now, they could be anywhere, and they seem to have developed a monotheistic religion that is in contrast to the human polytheistic religion. The Cylons begin by wiping out the twelve colonies and sending the survivors… all 47,000 (approx) of them on a desperate search for the fabled 13th colony…. Earth.

The Cylons declared war on humanity wiping out billions in an unprovoked first strike. The Colonial fleet is all but eliminated leaving just a handful of ships including the soon to be decommissioned Battlestar Galactica. Galactica is crewed by the misfits of the military and a crew that never expected to be involved in real duty. With the president gone, and the government all but eliminated Laura Roslin, the Education Minister takes on the mantle of President of the 12 Colonies.

Gaius Baltar, the leader in Artificial Intelligence, has inadvertently betrayed humanity by allowing a Cylon agent into the defence network rendering it, and all of their military forces impotent in the face of the Cylon attacks. During his time with this agent, it has implanted a chip into his brain allowing it to speak to him, and continue to torment him. Over the season Baltar falls in love with the Cylon eventually betraying humanity again and again.

A lone soldier is trapped on Caprica, having given up his seat on a transport for a child. He struggles against the odds trying to stay alive surrounded on all sides by hostile Cylons when he encounters another Galactica crew member who seems to have returned to him. The crew member however is actually another human form Cylon. Boomer and Helo spend the season trying to escape Caprica, and Boomer finds herself falling in love with her human target. Meanwhile, the Boomer on board Galactica has set off several bombs and subconsciously created dozens of other problems on board the ship.
