Growing up as a boy I used to religiously watch Battle Star Galatica. Now the Scifi channel has bought the rights and produced two stellar mini movies to kick off the series. I’ve always looked at remakes with a wary eye, but I can honestly say this version is far better and not just because of computer graphics. They show the how and why things went bad, how the Cylons came to be, and the pains and joys of survival. It’s dark writting to me captures what the show’s origional intention was that turned campy in the 70’s.
The Scifi channel has redone Dune previously, that to me was actually better than the movie. I think that they answer the questions that werent defined and only hinted at for a greater understanding. I look forward to more classic tv remakes from them that could easily replace this silly “reality tv”. To me it’s refreshing to see a quality show back on tv, hopefully the series will actually remain for a long run but wonder how they will be able to post a profit when the original series costed 1 mill a show. If you saw it what did you think? If not I suggest to give it a go.
