Abandoned Battlestar Galactica Story Would've Resolved A Cylon Question

Although Battlestar Galactica and its various webisodes and spinoffs have not aired for several years, one particular abandoned story would’ve resolved an impactful Cylon question. The harrowing space epic, whose first iteration was developed in the late 1970s, undertook a journey of decades as the last webisodes/TV movie aired in 2012. However, one of the later spinoffs would have provided answers about the show’s infamous antagonists, the Cylons.

Battlestar Galactica’s last full TV series was the prequel series Caprica, which chronicled the first development of the Cylons in one of the Twelve Colonies. Set 58 years before the events of the 2004 show, Caprica detailed the story of Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz) and Joseph Adama (Esai Morales), as they struggle in the wake of the deaths of their daughters, Tamara Adama (Genevieve Buechner) and Zoe Graystone (Alessandra Torresani), and their fault in creating the Second Cylon War. The show also establishes the early basis for the Cylons’ monotheistic religion from the cult of the Soldiers of the One (STO), how the Cylons became sentient and began to form a unique society in the first place, and the original tensions between humans and the machine race. Additionally, the show deeply portrays the ancestry of Commander William (Bill) Adama (Edward James Olmos in the 2003-2009 installments), particularly concerning both his dead siblings, including the brother he was named for, William (Sina Najafi).
