Just finished watching this SF series until it's season 2 finale. I have not watched the old original series before, so I cannot make any comparisons how this new one fares compared to the old one.
But just based on this new series alone, I have to put it up there right next to 'Lost', cos seriously this show is some great frakking show.
It's a very different show from 'Lost', cos this is a very classical SF space opera setting, something akin to 'Babylon 5', which is another all-time favourite. However this show, in my opinion, is even better than 'Babylon 5', cos it has so many things done right - the drama, the action, the story, the acting, the special effects, the good looking actors/actresses (yummy indeed)..
It is so good in every way that it has now become one of my favourite show. Drama, which it is has in bundles, really fleshes out the characters.
What I like best about the show though, is that it tells of a story that shows many facets and qualities of humanity, be they good ones or bad ones. At the end of the journey, I find myself thinking..
Thinking of this life I am living, thinking of the purpose we go through in this life, thinking of the many little things.. The show is also somewhat philosophical in nature, with themes that touch on our system of belief, like the existence of God.
And I must mention the soundtrack, not only does it fit the show nicely, it is also very atmospheric. Absolutely great stuff.
There are so many things in this show I could brag on and on about which will probably bore any reader of this 'diary' to death sooner than he/she can click on the nearest hyperlink. So I'll just spare you my BSG fanboy enthusiasm and let you decide for yourself whether you would like to venture into this highly-recommended-and-one-hell-of-a-remarkable-SF series.
And from me to the BSG Gods (read: Producers): Please deliver me soon from the agony of waiting for season 3! :-P
