I would again like to speak about the new Battlestar Galactica:

It was awesome.

Adama:"We have no choice. Colonel Tigh, please plot a hyperlight jump from our position to the orbit of Ragnar."

Tigh:"Yes sir."

Tigh:"Engineering! spin up FTL drives one and two."

Intercom:"Spinning up FTL drives one and two, sir!"

Tigh:"Lieutenant Dida, break out the FTL tables and warm up the computers. We are making a jump!"

FTL tables? Spin up? That's what I'm talking about. When Adama calls to speak with Apollo about the president, the comm officer announces him as 'Galactica actual'.

Sweeeet..... It's like a real aircraft carrier in space. None of this 'Make it so' crap, it's real style navy.

FTL actually stands for Finite Termination Logic, which is the Linux based software that is the interface to the infinte improbability drive, whereby small amounts of finite improbability are generated by simply hooking the logic circuits of a BW 57 sub-meson accumulator to an atomic vector plotter suspended in a strong Brownian Motion producer in accordance with the Theory of Indeterminacy in order to create an infitite improbabability field.

There was only a part 1 and 2. According to their website, they're hoping to treat it as a pilot to a series, but there's no official word yet.

was ther any cameo apperances from the original tv cast?

I doubt any of the orginal cast will lower themselves to be associated with the garbage that Ron Moore put together.

Swager, did you even watch it?

It was a good bit better than the original. Was looking forward to another episode after they showed the 5th Cylon type

Really, it wasn't too bad. Give it a chance. If they do do a series, I wonder if it will be as well done though...

It was interesting.. the production was well done.. but they strayed too far from the original with some things.

Jesus christ, its a TV show, not a religion. It was better. The effects were better, the story much more modern and what's more, it wasn't nearly as blatant with the mormon crap.

lol, my wife and I kept wondering when they were going to go on and on about the whoopeeed "Book of the Word"

I loved the Original... when I was five, and I still love watching it, cheesy as it may be (I even coughted up the cash for the full DVD set). But I liked this show as well. Mostly for the reasons mentioned. I even liked the Uterized Starbuck.
