I remember as an excited little kid tuning in on Saturday Nights to watch the original Battlestar Galactica...
When the remake came out, it was a little different for me having grown up on the original, . But I Did like the remake also

For me the best Robot voices of all sci fi are the cylons fromm the Classic series.

I was alive and a fan of the series in 1978 and 1980. The second attempt was not named "Galactica." It was named "Galactica 1980."

I preferred the Cylon origin story from original BSG. A reptile alien race that emulated human physiology and created a security force of machines based on it. An oversight in the programming of their creations lead to the downfall of the reptile Cylon race.

RIP Dean Stockwell, the Cylon with the coolest lines!

I loved watching this show while I was still a senior at the University of Alabama in 1978. I didn’t like the cost cutting sequel in 1980, but really enjoyed the reboot with Edward James Olmos.

You keep jumping between the classic series and the reboot which, I am sure, are entirely different stories, and it's giving me whiplash.

I was 9 when original came out. I had just watched Star Wars at the cinema, but to this 9 year old, Battlestar Galactica was so much better, lol

The 1978 Cylons DID NOT REBEL against their creators. You can see "The Imperious Leader", one of the last of the original biological creators of the Cylons, direct the attack against the 12 Human Colonies. He then meets with Baltar and he gives him a Baseship to pursue the remains of Humanity!! In the Part 2 episode of the Pegasus story, the biological, "Imperious Leader" is present on the planet of "Gamorrah" to inaugurate a new, second Cylon capital, and then the humans attack. In the book, Battlestar Gallactica, by Glen A. Larson and Robert Thurston, (1978), it explains that the Cylons were originally a biological race that was dying out, and their machines were sentient, but living with fewer and fewer commanders. Also, the dying, biological Cylons, were dominating other races and letting them live, but for some reason, were jealous of humanity and hated them and wanted all humans dead.

Really good production put you can't conflate the two timelines into one.
Would've been interesting to see a split and comparison of how the two shows explained the origins.
There's absolutely no way the two can be linked tho.

Cylons: We have made our ships the pinnacle of technology, with advanced computers and vast numbers of missiles to smite our enemies.

Colonies: We strapped some engines and more guns than should be allowed to exist onto a steel brick. Hack that, Toaster!

The Cylons. Best use of a Vocoder, ever.

[InternetGravedigger]

Mind you this is the origin that was retconned with the new stuff... in the original series, they were created by a race also known as Cylons (a lizard race, thus the appearance of the Imperious Leader) but eventually destroyed their creators and later went to war against the humans.

I remember in the 70s as a small child The original cylons scared the shit out of me .The newer cylons looked lame

[stephensmith]

My favorite Cylon model is #8, Gracie Park is a CUTIE!

[norton]

That Cylon voice was what made the Cylon a Cylon.

[DennisMoore]

Trying to put all the Cylons from both series into one video was a bad idea. It would be better to make a clear division between the ones from the original BSG and the ones from the rebooted series. It would be like trying to make a video about Lt. Starbuck - beyond both being cigar smoking viper pilots, they are very different characters between the original and the reboot.

[NecroViolator]

Cylons have that red light bouncing back and forth. Its reminds me of Kit from The Knight Rider !.

[stukahen]

Gotta love the iL-series Cylons (Lucifer and Spectre) from the original series.

[matthewserros]

Liked the show but I like the original cylon origin.
