Characters make the story interesting in all three of the
Battlestar Galactica series shows. Each series has no shortage of characters to make every show that has been produced interesting and dynamic. Dramatic changes have been made to the characters of the
Original Series for the
Re-imagined Series.
Boomer in the original
Battlestar Galactica was a black man, whereas
Boomer in the Re-imagined Series is an Asian woman (and a
Cylon).
Religion, sexuality, and even
nationality are now part of each characters' motives, making
Galactica a place that is influenced by real-life situations.
