Wayne & All,
> Sooo... Has anyone seen SciFi's new "Battlestar Galactica"?
I watched the 4 hour block last night, by accident. I just got home from work
and it just started. I saw the preview show a little while back. I have to say I
enjoyed it. I kept thinking the genius doctor was Alexander Siddig (Dr. Julian
Bashir from DS9) but I saw it wasn't him this morning. My wife and I kept going
back and forth on it. : )

Yes, I was impressed by the ships and the thrusters as well. The CG was slick,
and the space / battle shots were nifty. It somewhat reminded me of SW:EPII and
the big battle near the end, where the camera constantly shifted, and gittery to
some extent.

Right.

Well, I don't remember too much of the original series (I'm 28, so I am just
under the age bubble here) I saw a couple of episodes here and there, so I can't
really say too much about the changes that happened (Starbuck a woman, the
cycloids (SP), etc.)
But just as a fan of sci-fi in general, I thought it was rather interesting, and
am looking forward to seeing some more of it. I did do some reading on the old
series, some of the religious stuff, etc. this morning.
