New Galactica Series

Yeah funny thing is my Ma and Sis watch BSG and they feel soooo sorry for poor Boomer because she is so sweet and nice and is now a cylon but doesn't seem to want to be.

I rented the movie and so far have watched the doco and the first 30 minutes. I think cigars and ties are anachronistic, but overall I find the realistic space fighting intriguing. That sort of highly realistic fighting, representing the flow of battle, is slightly confusing as you can't really make out everything at once, but I realise that it is a more realistic method. It appears to be like B5 though, where the set design is low key to save money for the effects (though the sets are at least believable), but I have no problem with it. I wait in anticipation for a BSG mod and the new shipsets.

Starhawk, I think you just hit on part of why the show is so compelling, you not only feel for the heroes but the villians too, or at least some of them.

I'm not sure if anyone has expressed this or not but, for any fans of the original who are not wanting to watch the new one even Richard Hatch has come to like it, and he fought it tooth and nail before production.

Richard Hatch is getting a guest starring role. From the sounds of the chacater it might be a reoccuring role.
