Battlestar Galactica's influence on modern Star Trek, like Discovery, shows acceptance of Moore's ideas.

Kill Ronald D. Moore. Oh, hang on...

The most notable callback to Battlestar Galactica in Discovery season 1 was the revelation that Commander Ash Tyler (Shazad Latif) was actually a Klingon-Human hybrid sleeper agent.

Also, the charming, villainous Captain Gabriel Lorca (Jason Isaacs) was not unlike the vainglorious Gaius Baltar (James Callis) in Battlestar Galactica. Baltar and Lorca were both complex villains that dreamed of attaining powerful positions, regardless of the human cost.

So the entire argument is that Galactica and STD both happen to share a couple of standard fiction tropes?

Good God, ScreenRant is trash.
