You don’t know what you’re missing. It really is the best show on television, actually the only thing I care to watch. The old show was terrible in comparison. THe new show is quite dark, morbid, has very good acting and the bad guys are flat out freaky bad, but some quite foxy...
You can buy the new version pilot movie, and 3 previous seasons on DVD. The pilot movie was very good, start there. You’ll be hooked.
I’m downloading the MiniSeries from iTunes as I type...
Yeah but I LOVE the old Cylons - cold and mechanical. I think I still have one of the toy Cylon fighters somewhere (ok it’s under my bed :) ). They were recalled because the red missiles actually launched.
It jumped the shark by season three and we stopped.
Too many asinine or ridiculous plot changes, retarded twists, and downright bad episodes. They should have made it a tight two or three seasons and ended it. Instead, it is now a soap opera a with all the accompaning baggage like loose plot threads, gaping holes, duex ex machinas etc.
It WAS the best show on TV.
