I’m rather behind in my TV watching, and only saw the first half of the Battlestar Galactica miniseries yesterday. I was pretty impressed though. It reminded me a bit of the beginning of Star Trek: Generations, but way cooler. I like the grumpy old captain (who looks a bit like Tom from Joe Btfsplk’s if anyone’s seen both of them). I like the sexy evil chick, except when she’s killing babies. I like the pathetic, self-obsessed scientist. I like the Secretary of Education/President (played by Donnie Darko’s mum).

There was one particularly cool scene where a whole bunch of nuclear blasts went off and two people stood sillhouetted as the explosion rushed through their house and towards the camera. Awesome stuff.

Overall, a bit of corn, and maybe taking itself a bit too seriously, but pretty good and great fun.
