I'm so glad it's finally January so we can see the end to the midseason cliffhanger from months ago.

I love BSG. I never watched the original, so this was pretty much a brand new show to me, and I think if Richard Hatch gives it his seal of approval by being on the show, I think it's just another way to settle the gulf between the shows.
That said, I really really enjoy it and I love the drama and the amazing cast. It's about survival, and people making the best out of their situation, and finding other people around them in the same situation, and of course, finding them worth living and fighting for. I especially enjoy the father/son relationship (or lack of) between the Adamas.
BSG is one of the first real "series" to come along in a while, where you don't really get a standalone episode. Every episode has something very crucial to discover.

Like agentsun, I also never watched the original series, so I don't know what I missed. Recently got into Galactica, though, and have to say I think it's pretty cool! I went on a Galactica marathon over the weekend and finished the mini-series and the whole of Season 1. 
Of course, I like the world of Firefly better. But still ... Galactica wasn't as bad as I thought it was. Like I said, thought it was pretty cool. Love Dr. Baltar!
I'm waiting for Season 2 episodes from my friend so that I can catch up with the rest of the world.

Quote:A seventies cheesefest- if you're not a fan already, there's no reason to see it, other than for John Dykstra's impressive optical effects. The new one is hands down the better series.

I agree with the cerebral comment and the "cold" comment in regards to the new Battlestar G. I'm a fan of the old series in regards to the humor element involved in the stories. The new Battlestar is interesting--yet having watched a few episodes--I feel as I've been watching 'Days of Our Lives on Battlestar Gallactica'. Soaps leave me cold. I've had to make myself sit through the episodes I've watched. Sorry. Not a fan. *sheepish grin*

True, the new one does take itself pretty frakin' seriously most of the time, but a little humour creeps in here and there...
Chrisisall, lookin' for the funny

Oh, the show is so much better than the miniseries. By it! It's great.

Totally agree with you globlabsurdity.
I was bought the first series and while I enjoyed it to a certain extent I wont be bothering to buy the next season. Which is telling in itself.
The feeble way in which they keep the blonde lady coming back really irritated me. That's the cylon one not 'starbuck', she, starbuck, should be let out the airlock for starters!

Yes, absolutely! I can imagine that a holiday season, for instance, on Battlestar would last for at least 12 episodes. Slow. *snore*. Perhaps it's just my ADD comming into play. Ha!
Cheers!
