      It's the only thing I really look forward to on TV. Too bad it's the last season.

          I agree with John. Only thing I really look forward to on TV. :)

            You're totally right about that. They are supposedly working on a new show called 'Caprica' that will deal with the first Cylon war. Mostly, it's the people involved with the show now want to move on to other projects. Gonna miss them when this season ends. Especially Tricia Helfer :)

              I don't get to see it till it comes up on the torrents...I'm poor and can't make regular payments on cable or satellite, so don't worry :)

                  I was religious about the old show when it was going. If you start at the beginning of the new one though, it has orders of magnitude more depth than the old one. And you still have Richard Hatch to make you feel at home :)

                    I've seen both, and the 2nd one is better by such a wide margin that you would be hard-pressed to mention anything good about the original series that didn't include the phrase "they canceled the series".

                        That was a dog, and it's name was "Boxie". It was almost as if they were describing a Volvo rather than naming a fake dog...

                            'Boxie' was the kid...the dog was a 'daggit' and his name was 'muffit', I think :)

                              Agreed. I watched the original through most of the first season. The writing and the acting were so bad the special effects couldn't make up for it. While this one does have a tendency to worry too much about who's-screwing-who this week, it's still pretty cool.

                                    The season opener was terrible. The cliffhanger they left with was poorly resolved, the actors were definitely just going through the motions rather than being really engaged, which I chalk up to having a hiatus due to the idiotic writers strike, and the whole production/directoring of the opener was poorly done. The whole "ethos" of BSG was lacking, from the acting down to the camera jiggles and wierd angles and even the sound track. It reminds me of what happens when you pick up an incomplete software project a year after letting it gather dust. BSG definitely needs to vacuum off the cobwebs! Marc

                                      I bet I'm even older and I got a kick out of the original (even though Jimmy Carter interrupted the premiere with some nonsense about the Camp David Accords ;) ) but this show is knock your socks off good! It's 9:21 p.m. EDT right now which means I have 40 minutes to episode 3 - eat your hearts out, Brits. ;P

                                          The season opener was terrible. The cliffhanger they left with was poorly resolved, the actors were definitely just going through the motions rather than being really engaged, which I chalk up to having a hiatus due to the idiotic writers strike, and the whole production/directoring of the opener was poorly done. The whole "ethos" of BSG was lacking, from the acting down to the camera jiggles and wierd angles and even the sound track. It reminds me of what happens when you pick up an incomplete software project a year after letting it gather dust. BSG definitely needs to vacuum off the cobwebs! Marc

                                          You have some valid points. Maybe it's being in a BSG-starved state for so long that I'm happy with anything that they put out. A friend of mine knows Alessandro Juliani (the guy that plays Gaeta) ...he seems pretty down on the whole thing like he's glad it's ending. Update: note to self: stay away from the keyboard while drinking beer...
