I used to watch the original series way back in the day and it was a good show Dirt Benidict was suave and Richard Hatch captured the idiolistic pioneer and Laurne Greene had great presence. So when i heard a new reinvention of the seires was coming i was not looking forward to it.
Especially since they turned Starbuck into a girl...
But a year ago someone lent me the dvds of the mini seires and the first season, i was floored. The show was not only good it was great. The writing was gritty, gone was the flowery 70's show and here was a tough militralistic vision. Each of the characters were there but there was so many more levels to each of them.
The story evolved from where the old one did, the cylones destroyed the colonies and the Battlestar Galactica was the only one to get out. But they did so many good changes, Baltar was a helping the cylones from within the ranks of the Battlestar, tortured by an inner demon of a humanoid cylone. Yes that humanoid cylones, the big evoloution for the race of machines to become more human. So many good plot lines and depth that it has kept me hooked till present. I hope you can catch it too:)
