I'm dismayed by the number of unfavourable comments I've read here. This new miniseries was smart, well-crafted sci-fi.
It's a dramatic re-working of the original with just the right number of clever hints of the original. A lot of thought went into creating a believable military/space setting. It shows us a much more realistic and detailed cross section of a starship crew than Star Trek.
The acting was overall pretty good too. Characters had intelligent lines and delivered them pretty naturally for the most part. Especially good were Adama, the ex.o. and the new president.
Technically, it looks like a really efficient production that spent its budget on the right things and didn't try to do things they couldn't.
I can't wait to see more episodes.
