Our dear Doctor Z has tried to convince me for months that the new Battlestar Galactica TV series is actually quite good. I usually trust his tips, but this time I remained sceptical. Today I watched the pilot episodes, and I have to admit I didn't regret it. It's interesting stuff, and the spaceship fights feel somewhat different to those seen on TV or in the movies yet. I still dislike fights with dozens of ships wildly scurrying around with a maximum gap of ten meters between them, but I guess there has to be some action. At least they put a little more emphasis on the laws of nature than most others. There's only important thing one might criticize: the new series doesn't have that wonderful seventies trash charme of the original. Some kind of parallel to the ToB history?!

P.S.: Does anyone (from the german guys) remember Galaktika vom fernen Stern Andromeda?? *gg*

Yes, I know *and sing*

"Ich rufe dich, Galaktika, vom fernen Stern Andromeda. Ich sitze hier und denke, und komme nicht auf rechte ToB-Gedenke *g*"...

"Von Norden bis Süden, von Osten bis Westen, hier bin ich wieder, Euer lieber guter alter SPENCER" *g*

"Hallo Spencer". That was the best series I have seen when I was very young. "Sesamstrasse" was boring ;-)

I have also seen the pilot episode of Battlestar Galactica. It was a very modern version of "Raumschiff Galaktika". But it was not a good idea, that the Cylons look like normal mans. I also think, that the action scences were too fast and too short...
