20 Years Later, Battlestar Galactica's Best Line Still Lives Rent-Free In Our Heads

It has been just over 20 years since Battlestar Galactica first dropped its most significant quote, but the words ring even louder today. The concept itself was introduced in the reimagined Battlestar Galactica series, which kicked off in 2004, and even this is rather significant. The 1978 series is largely the same on paper, but the tone and thematic focus of the 2004 reimagining shifted toward a darker, less optimistic look at the battles between good and evil, exploring moral ambiguity and humanity's cycles of destruction. That's where Battlestar Galactica's greatest quote comes in.
