The theological dimension of the pilot mini-series (2003) of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica (Ron D.

| description | The theological dimension of the pilot mini-series (2003) of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica (Ron D. Moore, Sci-Fi, 2003-2009) sharply contrasts with that of the original series (Glen Larson, ABC, 1978-1979). In the original BSG, the last humans are in Exodus, and cross the desert-that-is-space in search of the promised land of Earth. In the reimagined series, the pilot mini-series is more clearly apocalyptic and points to contemporary forms of dispensionalism, and especially, belief in the Rapture. |
