I am a fan of the older series Battlestar Galactica. I have heard all the arguments about the story writing being lame from the original series, but the truth behind the story of how the show was produced would help anyone to understand why the older show had its weakpoints. Suffice it to say, had there been any real quality preparation, the older series would have been tons better. Still, I liked that the heros in the show were someone that I could look up to.
That being said, I still like the new series, even though it is not something that I can share with my 7 year old son. I have shared the old series with him but the new series is to adult for him. I have gotten tired of the 'Six' character, but the cliffhanger with the 'Boomer' character was outstanding. I wondered about the female Starbuck in the beginning, but I grew to like her more as the series went on.
I like Olmos character a lot, but then I've liked all the Olmos TV/Movie parts I've seen so far. (Stand and Deliver, and Miami Vice) I hope his character develops as the series goes on. Olmos is quoted as saying though that if they brought any wierd looking aliens on set that he would not want to stay with the production. In my opinion, this is Sci-Fi, and there is always potential for Aliens. I am curious what the baby lookes like that Baltar and Six were looking at in the end of the Season Finale. Besides, having her close to any babies weirded me out considering what happened the last time she was close to a baby. . . .
Hey, in the normal guy type of tradition, the scene with 10 naked Grace Parks was way, way, too short.
Can't wait for season two even though I am the only one in my family to be watching it. (Wife is not into Sci-Fi)
