Dirk did a lot of promo work for the new BSG and appeared in the making-of special scifi had for the miniseries. He's aged a lot better than Hatch.

I must have watched a different making-of special, because the one I saw Dirk didn't look like Dirk. Of the two, I say Hatch looked better, although he looks more rugged.

I'm liking this show. It's more realistic and military oriented than the original. Also, it keeps you in suspense. and the religious overtures are missing. The only thing I can't figure out right now is why they're keeping "Helo" alive. Is it just for experimental purposes, or is something more sinister afoot? Maybe they're observing him so they can make another Cylon model. Can't wait to find out.

Yeah, otherwise you've just got a bunch of people on some ships.

Latest episode - "You Can't Go Home Again" was another good episode, I thought. I liked Adama and Apollo's moment at the end - "We'd never leave."

Quite good. And the continuing military/political turf war is great.

I've watched the last few episodes, and it's been decent overall with some good ship scenes. However I can't seem to shake the feeling of Starship Troopers when it comes to the various pilots' storylines etc.

Other than the fact that everybodies hometowns got obliterated, I see absolutly no common themes with Starship Troopers. What are you refering to?
