Plot Summary

Forty years ago the Cylons, androids, rose up and tried to destroy their human creators, the people of the Twelve Colonies of Cobol, resulting in a bitter war. After a peace treaty, the Cylons were not heard from again. Until now. They're back and more determined than ever to wipe out the human race. At the forefront of humankind's defence against the Cylons is the aging battlestar, Galactica. Written by grantss

Quotes [his decommissioning speech]
Adama: The Cylon War is long over, yet we must not forget the reasons why so many sacrificed so much in the cause of freedom. The cost of wearing the uniform can be high, but...
[very long pause]
Adama: sometimes it's too high. You know, when we fought the Cylons, we did it to save ourselves from extinction. But we never answered the question "Why?" Why are we as a people worth saving? We still commit murder because of greed and spite, jealousy, and we still visit all of our sins upon our children. We refuse to accept the responsibility for anything that we've done, like we did with the Cylons. We decided to play God, create life. And when that life turned against us, we comforted ourselves in the knowledge that it really wasn't our fault, not really. You cannot play God then wash your hands of the things that you've created. Sooner or later, the day comes when you can't hide from the things that you've done anymore.
