I started rewatching the early 2000’s remake show and just realized something…

The original late 70’s show had Lorne Green as the commander. He was also in Bonanza. And as the movie Toy Story reminded us - general interest in cowboys & indians changed over to space adventures. But here’s the thing, Battlestar Galactica is the same western story of settlers heading into the wild looking for a new home while being harassed by indians. Except the Indians are cylons in this case.

I can’t be first to this party. Tell me someone had already made this (now seemingly obvious) connection.

[please excuse the use of the term “indians” as I was using it contextual and not trying to offend anyone]
