Twilight: Battlestar Galactica Inspired?

Twilight seemed to have a HELL of a lot of Battlestar Galactica inspired plots. A survivor fleet, Human Flagship among the survivors, etc. Did the creators watch BSG for that episode?

Don't remember this one.

The brilliant What If scenario where the Xindi DO destroy Earth.

No, not ringing any bells. Then again, I did exorcise most of ENT from my brain, so it's not surprising I don't remember it.

Really? It was one of the best episodes of the show...

As much as that means.

Hey ENT is my favorite series. Yeah I really liked that episode but that story is not BSG origional. The Aeneid anyone?

Last survivors of the humans, 50,000 and all, flee the Cylons in a makeshift survivor fleet with only one warship, the aging battlestar Galactica is the basic premise.

That does sound similar.

I noticed that too. Ironic isn't it. Ceti Alpha VI should blow up right about the time the human race is back on it's feet.

But I don't think it was too BSG inspired. They had more then one warship left, and they weren't looking for the '13th colony' or something.

Just add a trip to the underworld, and an engagement party, and you're there.

Yeah, the lack of space mormanism is a big clue. I'm sure there's a few other series that have this premise or episodes with it.

It's actually a fairly common theme in all of literature, not just sci-fi, as Monroe pointed out with the Aeneid, or even the Old Testament. I'd be surprised to not have seen the idea of questing for a lost or promised home/family/colony as often as I have.
