The premise of Battlestar Galactica has become an entire franchise due to the popularity of the concept. Beginning back in 1978, Glen A. Larson created an ongoing joy for sci fi lovers with his original Battlestar Galactica series that aired on TV screens everywhere. Spawning many sequels over the years, including Caprica and the latest series which began its run in 2004, humans now live on a group of distant planets called the Twelve Colonies. Wars have gone on for decades on these planets against the Cylons, a group of cybernatics who plan to wipe out the human race altogether. Cylons offer a haven of peace and security but their intentions turn out to be false and deadly. Colonial starships carry the humans away but when attacked by the Cylons, find they are not able to compete. Commander Adama (played by Edward James Olmos of Miami Vice, Stand and Deliver fame) is the leader who takes the fugitive fleet of human survivors on a hunt for the mysterious 13th colony better known as planet Earth. Fun and often exciting drama with some great special effects and a gigantic and great looking spaceship called the Battlestar Galactica.

Fringe

Sci-Fi & Fantasy

From the same folks who brought you "Lost," "Fringe TV show" looks and feels a lot like "The X-Files" with way better lab equipment, except when it looks and feels a whole lot like "Altered States" as it goes to the furthest frontiers of human consciousness and imagination, except when its realism makes the show look and feel every bit as creepy as "The Twilight Zone." Not surprisingly, "Fringe" is a major science fantasy hit. The stories show a team of FBI agents who use "fringe" technology to demystify a terrifying series of events that suggest the mysterious workings of a parallel universe. Stories focus on Special Agent Olivia Dunham, whose boyfriend suffered hideous wounds from an unidentifiable chemical compound. Agent Dunham joins forces with mad scientist Dr Walter Bishop and his estranged son, racing against the clock to save Olivia's lover and humankind. The New York Times aptly describes "Fringe" as a "sensational, "artful, suspenseful mix of horror, science fiction, layered conspiracies and extended car chases".

Visitors

Sci-Fi & Fantasy

"The Visitors" is a TV series that follows a police officer as he tries to solve strange occurrences in his town. While the plot has potential, the execution is inconsistent. The early episodes are slow and boring, but the show picks up near the end with better episodes. The use of foreshadowing and establishment of elements is done well, but attempts at juvenile humor in the early episodes fall flat. The main character has a character arc, but most of the supporting cast are empty stereotypes with little development. The acting is decent.
