On it's face, Battlestar Galactica is about the war between humans and Cylons, but on a deeper level it's also about humans' relationship to technology. In the original Battlestar Galactica, the Cylons were a reptilian race that was dying out. They had discovered humanity and determined that humans possessed the most efficient body plan, so they engineered sophisticated robots to serve them. Eventually the robots became fully sentient androids who destroyed their creators. They believed in the natural order of the universe. Battlestar Galactica's Cylons found that humans upset the balance of natural order and vowed to cleanse the universe of intelligent beings. To the humans, technology saved them, in that they were fleeing on a spaceship, but it also could spell their demise in the form of Cylon aggression. Interestingly, in a short-lived spinoff called Galactica 1980, set 30 years later, a team of experts was sent from Galactica to Earth to help those there advance their technology to protect them from the Cylons.

The rebooted Battlestar Galactica had a somewhat different problem. The Cylons were not an alien race but rather the creation of humans who also gained sentience and rebelled against their creators. To further complicate matters, the Cylons had created humanoid versions of themselves, making them indistinguishable from humans. In 2003 when Battlestar Galactica first premiered, sentient AI didn't seem as shockingly real a possibility as it does now. Movies such as The Terminator and Blade Runner explored this, but on Battlestar Galactica, the humans were stunned to learn that Cylons could look just like them. Technology had completely muddied the waters between "us" and "them," though in an interesting twist, the humans tried to use tech, in the form of Gaius Baltar's Cylon Detector, to tell the difference. Ironically, it was the absence of advanced tech that saved Galactica from immediate destruction. As an older battleship that had been decommissioned and was to serve as a military history museum at the time of the Cylon attack on the colonies, none of its systems were networked, thereby preventing the Cylons from launching a viral attack against it.
