I taped it and am looking forward to watching it tonight.
I for one don't really care that some characters were modified/reimagined/made into women. That said, there is one thing about the new series that does bother me. My recollection is that, in the original series, the war was between humans and an alien race, the cyclons being a creation of the enemy race. Now the cylons are creations of humanity come back to destroy us? I saw a preview of the miniseries where Ronald Moore claims this represents a 'fresh' retelling of the original. This is 'fresh'?? Haven't we, just this year, had two movie sequels to film franchises where the central theme is humanity threatened by its own creations?
I thought part of the appeal of the original was the overwhelming power and largely unknown nature of the hostile race. The nature of the new cylons seems all too familiar: 'We have met the enemy and they are us.'
