As a classic work of science fiction American TV series, Battlestar Galactica has been filmed for 4 seasons and a total of 73 episodes. From the beginning to the end, the story revolves around the search for the 13th, and perhaps the only remaining "colony" of human beings, the earth. In this process, after countless confrontations and battles of wits with the Cylons, the two sides finally reached a reconciliation at the last minute, and together they found the only hope for the survival and reproduction of the two races - to survive together. The Cylons and Hera, the daughter of humans, also became the ancestors of today's humans.

There’s no denying that Galactica’s story feels familiar, with familiar film and television elements such as robot rebellion, discussion of human nature, and the concept of life and death. However, this did not affect our expectations for him at all and the shock and unavoidable thinking after watching it. From the destruction of human beings due to their own carelessness and arrogance, they had to abandon their homes and wander in space; to the Cylons who made the same mistakes as their creators on the ancient earth and went to decline; we must admit that this is not only a problem for today's human society The true projection of the book is to question the minds of contemporary people. Galactica traveled all the way through the vast starry sky, and people experienced the torture of the most primitive and elusive weaknesses of human nature. A questioning of the irredeemable sin in the depths of human nature.

When almost desperate human beings made the last choice to run to their homeland at the last minute, they finally succeeded. At the moment when the spacecraft passed the moon, the earth appeared in front of the scarred human beings in the most beautiful and pure manner. This is a place of hope and the last home of the once glorious race. Everything starts from scratch, and everything is so again. Familiar with. Maybe one day we can explore Hengyu like our ancestors, but, are we repeating yesterday's tragedy and are we really worth saving.
