This “Friends-Style” Battle Star Galactica Intro Will Make You Rethink the Entire Series

If you were a fan of the rebooted version of “Battlestar Galactica” that ran on SyFy from 2004-2009, you know it was a much darker show than its predecessor from the 1970s. No more clean, bright, spaceships. No more of the entire crew always getting along. The Galactica was a grim, dark vessel built for practicality instead of comfort. Conflicts between crew members were common place, and the flaws of each character could fill three pages. But the Cylons were still out there, and still wanted to kill them. All in all, it was a much more serious take on a classic sci-fi show.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t inject a little fun into it. Enter a trailer on Youtube of “Battlestar Galactica,” though done to the theme of the “Friends” TV show. Several scenes showing the crew members in some of their lighter and humorous moods are shown as the song made famous by The Rembrandts plays, and it blends together brilliantly to make “Galactica” appear like a space comedy instead of the dark space opera we all watched and enjoyed back in the day.
