It has a nice opening sequence and some funny bits of dialogue, but it feels like a 10% solution of regular BSG.

Nothing like forming your own opinion. People always disagree on.. well, everything - the only way to have your own honest opinion is to see it for yourself. I said it before, how you see "the Plan" really depends on your expectations. Mine were a bit more realistic, I knew that after the dismantling of the sets and with the budgetary restrictions we can't expect a full on addition to the bsg 'verse on par with the mini series, or episodes like "the hand of god". It may not be the best of BSG, but I don't feel it's the worst either. If you're a BSG fan it's definitely worth a watch.
So, don't listen to the local philosophers / undiscovered film director and writer geniuses. Plenty of time to talk about how it sucks if you do end up not liking it :)

I don't think I've ever heard lepton say anything positive anyway.

Personally it's not that I thought the plan was bad it's just it wasn't what I was expecting. I was hoping for something that would fill in the blanks created by the finale
as in, once the final five came to the twelve colonies to end the first cylon war, and what's with this 13th cylon character

The 13th was explained in full in the same episode they mentioned him. The final five made another model, Cavil got jealous and wiped them all out. What more needs to be said?

I'll be honest and say that i didn't have any expectations for it as i wasn't sure it was still being made seeing as i hadn't heard anything about it until i saw this thread. When it was announced I did wonder about the sets being dismantled/sold off. Suppose I'll give it a shot then, tho I'll admit a lot of the feedback from ppl here has kinda put me off.

My expectations were really low too, but my ultimate impression was that the narrative cheapened the entire show.

You can see it and draw your own conclusions if you prefer; the music and the opening sequence are pretty good.

i think almost everything from about new caprica :ick: on was not really that good.
still watched it, and there were good parts, but i almost think it 'jumped the shark' when the ram pegasus into a basestar, and its flight pod manages to take out another one.
