I came across a post at the Insane's World blog that frames the BSG story within an allegorical tale of the Nazi's during WWII. It is an interesting way to convince people to check out the show!
Date: December 29th, 1986, Time 0948 hours, a sub that was stationed in the Indian Ocean
gets a contact, its a group of ships the likes of witch they have never seen before. The crew is nervous as expected when form a far distance, the captain makes periscope depth and there in the cross hairs is a NAZI flag.
They have destroyed every city in America, the Soviet Union, just about every place possible and they were never noticed. How did it happen? How many ships are are there? Is there any one left on the planet to fight? Am I all that is left in the world to fight this new-old threat besides me?
Just remember that this was just the first 30 minutes of Battlestar Galactica. Substitute the Allied powers for the 12 colonies, the Germans for the Cylons, the lone Sub for the Battlestar Galactica and you got a start to an interesting new series.
