my updated thoughts on both series:
the new series was excellent in the first half/hour of the miniseries and completely lost my interest twenty minutes into part two several weeks back. I am thankful I got to see it from the start and form my own opinion finally, but it may be sometime before I even see the end of the pilot.
On the other hand, I was just watching the original pilot courtesy of Hulu.com (finally looked at the site) and want to spend hours now tonight watching those episodes. I DEFINITELY want to buy that on DVD and see what I missed watching as a young kid. That Baltar guy is truly scum in both takes though, he must do some seriously foul shit in the new series. Not going to do the "check wikipedia for full details" in case I ever do get past the full pilot or first season though. I still have no clue what happens in the new series and not going to spoil that.
*offtopic* HD DVDs are damn sharp looking */offtopic*
edit: the nukes and defense grid loophole in the new series are good and certainly better than the massive wave of fighters, and that scene with the little girl certain she is going to see her parents at the spaceport is sad and powerful.
I think it was the new Baltar halucinating/whatever else the blonde that finally lost me, but it was rapidly losing my interest for mostly intangible reasons (at least right now they are) from the start.
