Finally got a chance to see the Battlestar Galactica miniseries this week. I though it was very good, as did this recent reviewer in the UK. It reminded me of the best gritty space opera reads with its multiple story lines and surprise plot twists. It was very dark. I particularly liked the space battle scenes with their muted blasts and missile tracers.

I had only a casual acquaintance with the original series, maybe that's why I don't really see this as a name-hijack so much as the well-advertised "re-imagining" label. At any rate, this is good stuff. I'll be looking forward to this in January. (Although, the reviewer points out that it premieres Oct. 18 on Sky One.
