Battlestar Galactica’s Haunting Mantra Is a Chilling Reflection of Our Times

A recurring line in Battlestar Galactica is, “All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.” Often spoken by the Cylons, this phrase highlights a major theme of the show: the idea that humanity is doomed to repeat its mistakes, endlessly cycling through war, destruction, and attempts to survive. The line feels especially relevant today, even 22 years after the show originally aired, as we see similar patterns playing out in the real world.
