Whether you missed the re-invention of Galactica in the mini-series or never saw the original series, I've put together a little synopsis of each show.

• Battlestar Galactica --the classic series from 1978
• Galactica 1980 -- the often forgotten bastard child of the original series
• Battlestar Galactica 2003 -- the miniseries on the Sci-Fi Channel that relaunched the story
