Battlestar Galactica fan sites are as diverse as its fans, and some even pay homage to both the original Battlestar Galactica from the late 1970s, the current series running on Sci-Fi, and even the Battlestar Galactica incarnations between the old and the new Galactica.
While each version of Battlestar Galactica has its compelling features and story lines, for some there is no reason to wage war to determine which one is better. The current Battlestar Galactica is so much darker than the original, that they almost seem beyond comparison.
Either way, there are some amazing Battlestar Galctica fan sites on the web. Fans of both the old Battlestar Galactica and the new should find something to love about these fan sites.
