However, this bleak concept ultimately proved untrue.
The discovery of the “destroyed Earth” was almost the series finale forBattlestar Galactica, as reported byInverse.
Their arrival on a remote and primitive world led to the birth of the modern human race.
Battlestar Galactica is a science fiction television series that premiered in 2004. The plot follows the crew of the aging Battlestar Galactica as they protect a small fleet of human survivors from the renewed threat of the Cylons, in a quest to find the mythical 13th colony, Earth.
Speculation about how this would play out in season 4 ended up being for naught, however.
Cally was killed off in season 4 ofBattlestar Galacticaafter discovering the truth about Tyrol being a Cylon.
This resulted in plenty of speculation about which other characters could secretly be Cylons.
One of the more interesting of these ideas focused on the idea that Commander Adama was actually a Cylon.
In theory, this could have given the entire show a far more complex set-up.
Adama’s efforts to protect humanity may have just been programmed to ensure a true Cylon victory.
Ultimately, however, Adama wasn’t revealed to be a Cylon.
This theory was debunked in a few ways, especially once the Final Five were confirmed.

However,Battlestar Galacticaalso avoided ever introducing aliensin the series.

This could justify their deep connections to the stars.
This could even justify his eventual redemption arc as an internal hope for a happy ending.
In one fan theory,the God ofBattlestar Galacticawas an evil deity that enjoyed playing games with its creations.
