Battlestar Galactica (2004–2009)
9/10
First I was afraid... I was petrified... (very slight and minor spoilers)
26 July 2005
Warning: Spoilers
... how on Caprica could a remake of BSG EVER be any good... especially with Starbuck a girl... Tigh white... Boomer an Asian AND a girl... Oh boy... this will be the worst felgercarb ever and ever and ever!

But then I just had to see the downfall of BSG with my own eyes... and... everything turned out just well! I saw quite some episodes of the new series now, as well as the pilot. Well, boy oh boy!

What a magnificent show! I really hope they will release this masterpiece on Region 2 DVD with Dutch subtitles. No matter the price, I'll pay it! If this goes on like this, I'm afraid BSG:TOS won't be my favorite SciFi series anymore.

If you still aren't convinced: try it yourself... you WILL be!

Concerning the lack of humour in the series... watch Episode 1.09 "Tigh me up, Tigh me down"... there's quite some comic relief for this dark series. At some time there is a situation where everybody loses his head, provoked by the presence of the long lost wife of Tigh who suddenly shows up. At the very moment where all the main characters were together in one single room, fighting all over, accusing each other of bad behaviour and being a cylon... I just couldn't stop chuckling anymore. This was hilarious... in a dark, bitter, New BSG kind of feeling...
