New Galactica Series

[jeffel]

I have to say that I am very pleased to see that I am not the only one who enjoyed the episodes.

Many of the points brought up are spot on.

What I like.
The scene discussing military vrs police was a brilliant touch. I really like the way the writers are slowly building a partnership between Adama and the President.

I like the scene at the end of "33" where the President is told about the first birth. Sometimes it IS the little things that keep you going.

I like that the characters make tough decisions, but still have to live with the consequences.
. The President's decision to leave the non-ftl ships in the miniseries.
. The Decision by Adama/President/Lee to destroy the Carrier.
etc.

Not actually the pilot, but in the Miniseries, I like how they made you feel the plight/dispair. It was strangely engaging watching these people just do the best the could.

My big concern.
It really has to play out, but I just don't see how long the writers can plausibly draw out the Boomer/Chief thread. After one or two more events like in water, the Chief has to start getting suspicious. If not it will start to feel really forced.

All in all, we're off to a very promising start. This one is definately going into my watch list.

One other comment. B5 was (IMHO) the finest SciFi series in the Last 15 years. BSG has yet to earn mention in the same sentence. Given the rapid advances in CGI, it is no surprise that older shows look amatuer in comparison to what is coming out today.
