Speaking of Olmos, it looked like he went to the Richard Pryor school of free-basing. What's with all of the pock-marks on his face? I don't remember those being there during his Miami Vice days. I almost found it distracting just watching his face. I'm curious. does anyone know anything about it?

First of all that's harsh by anyone's standards man. Especially considering someone can't help having a severe case of Pocks and then getting really nasty acne on top of that when they are kids.
He's always had them but as you get older Pock marks tend to show more and he's not one of those self absorbed pretty boys so I had no problem with this.

Okay now as to Galactica it's self I greatly enjoyed this series because it was much more realistic and had much more "people" presence instead of just a bunch of space ships flying around blowing each other up in the same repeated scenes every two minutes.

Now as to the effects and Galactica being too "grey" well I hate to tell you pal but it's a warship and warships tend to be grey or a dull white not that shiney "Hit me" color of the original Galactica. And like they so clearly stated "Form follows function" so in the Colonial's weren't interested in making her a pretty girl but more of a tough kick your *** up between your shoulder blades kind of ship that looked intimidating instead of the star trekky "shiney" ships.

And anyone notice that this Galactica is far "younger" then the one from the Original series, she's only 50 years old the original was well over 600 (also nice touch as I can't imagine anyone keeping a ship in service for over 600+ years unless it was in the warhammer 40k universe).
