rfmcdonaldLast night was the second time that I caught this show with the boyfriend. I suppose these two data-points might trace the beginning of a trend.
Anyway, I rather liked last night's episode. I was somewhat surprised, since I'd watched the original Battlestar Galactica on reruns at SPACE and was impressed by the cheesiness of the plotlines. The remake is better all around: plotting, dialogue, acting, special effects, science.
The thing that I like most of all is that the remake is much darker. That is the thing that befuddled me the most about the Glen Larson series: Why, after androids committed genocide against a 12-planet civilization, would the survivors (all refugees, grouped together in a bedraggled fleet formation desperately fleeing said androids) be in good psychological shape?
I think I'll catch the next episode. Multiple reasons, granted, but when are motives entirely pure?
