I just watched the first episode of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA... kicked ass
I think that this will be the first good sci-fi series in a long time... any fans around?

1. My verdict's still out. Besides, with new Blake's 7 and Dr Who coming,
there are two more chances for something decent to be made. and B7 and DW have something in common: They're British. They know how to do intelligent sci-fi. Usually, but more often than the US, which is so steeped in petty effects than characterization and plot and shoved to the side. (Now you try sitting through Star Wars ep 2 and tell me otherwise!)

10. I tried watching it. Too depressing. I loved the first edition. The second
edition didn't have much science fiction in it. The third edition I missed and #4 just doesn't have the sizzle #1 did.

11. Oh, when you say sizzle, you mean that it's not LAME as the 1st one?.... l

12. I liked the first one. Sorry. It had humor, and a great cast. Also the
religious theories I found intriguing. The special effects were great.

18. Yes. I was floored. Better than my wildest expectations.
The whole conversation about God and procreation between Baltar and Six has me intrigued.

Very clever writing and dialog.

19. The only downside is that maybe it's gonna scare off the Nerds crowd
and rating will suffer... but let's enjoy it while it last
