Bit more detailed...
I thought it was OK. I'm no fan-boy of the original, however, I do recognize the promise it had.
The new one seemed, I dunno, it still has the "polished" look of most sci-fi channel original series, which isn't
bad, it's just they could've made it a bit more "gritty".
The constant sex was so. dumb. She's complaing about a "gimbal", and five seconds later, as soon as they enter a closed door, shoosh, her clothes are off, and they're...doing some sort of funky monkey mating dance. I dunno, but it looks like they were trying eat each other's face, not kiss and make "passionate, sweet love"
Also, the space combat, while OK, was a little boring...the sound effects could've used a major boost, it sounded as if everything was coming through a pillow. Some bass added to the gun sounds would've REALLY helped things. The space combat itself was also merely OK, as mentioned above, however, it was missing...something. Everything just seemed to happen too slow. Hell, the whole episode was pretty slow.
Lastly, I never thought I'd say this, but this thing has
too much emotion in it. Every scene was "emotion-packed," and everybody in the scene seemed to be holding back some sort of tears, or anger, or whatever. Heck, through the entire show, no one ever smiled, and if they did, something bad happened to them, at most, 5-6 minutes afterwards.
All in all, though, it was acceptable, but can use some improvement.
Oh, P.S. Didn't the show say that the Galactica was the LAST battlestar (the tour guide said that). Where did the other 30 come from? Oh, and about the (is it Raptor or Rapier?) thingies: if the newer versions got screwed cause they're fly-by-wire, then what are the old ones using? They can't be using analog, cause, well, that would just be impossible, unless you want to have fragile control strings pull a little lever that fires each thruster when the stick is pulled.
