This new version of the older TV series has been rather impressive so far.
The acting is very good. The characters are complex and interesting. The visuals are also quite good.
This is a much more adult version with no room for humor.
It is a straight drama with a good deal of action and underlying plots.
If you missed it, you may get a chance to catch up this summer or on DVD.

Battlestar Galactica is now in Season Two.
You can purchase the Movies, called Ministries, for about $16. They are about 3 1/2 hours long.
Season One is also available at Best Buy. From what I have heard, Best Buy is the ONLY place you can get Season One. This is the UK version, but redone to work on USA equipment.
The first 13 episodes are on 4 DVD's. About $48.
So, for you diehard buffs, start shopping.

SEASON 2 will be out. You can Pre-Order it NOW. Price seems to be around $39 for 10 episodes at Best Buy, and $35 at Overstock. This 3 disk set is being referred to as "Season 2". The next group of shows starts on January 6, 2006. Don't know if this will be called Season 3 or not. Anyway, if you are a fan of "Battlestar Galactica", don't miss out.  |

Yea it has kept me interested so far. A lot darker theme than the original one. I wasn't around for when the original was on but seen the reruns and it seems "ok". I just like the new one better.  |

The next two episodes finish off Season 2. (First two Fridays in March). I purchased the original mini-series then Season 1. Season 2 (the first half came out and I got it for Christmas). Last weeks episode took several twists. Even though some things were explained, other questions were raised. That is why I like it. As a viewer, you really cannot be certain where the plot will go. It is far more complex (and adult) than the "original" series was. And FAR BETTER. |

Lets just hope it stays good enough to get the ratings scifi wants so much. I don't want it to end up like Farscape.  I think the original only made it 1 season? So doing much better than it did. |

Well, the reviews are good and there is a lot of interest, so I think it will go at least one more season. I don't mind so much that the series ends, but that if it does it should end PROPERLY. Not like "Dark Angel", in the middle of a two part presentation. And NOT like "FarScape", where fans had to force the network to bring back a better ending. They then condensed season 5 down into a 3 hour mini-series (that is after commercials were figured in). The same also happened with "FireFly". I went out and got the "FireFly" DVD's, which had 3 additional episodes on them, for a total of 13. I got "Serenity" as soon as it was released. The movie answered a lot of questions the series did not have time to explain. |
