So we have binge watched our way through most of Battlestar Galactica and we must say we are highly impressed.
That is, the impression we took away from our last viewings in the late 1990's was incorrect.
First, we remembered a crisis of the week television show. Instead each episode was linked to the last, with references to past events like finding Kobol and Commander Kane.
Second we recalled the fleet travelling through unknown space so it could encounter said crisis of the week. Actually at least through half the season the fleet is still in known space or at least just over the other side of their known universe.
Third, the writers really got down some things about humanity. The scenes where the crew of the Galactica watches the TV reports of the destruction of the Colonies is spot on. Let's just say it looked real familiar. There's also a scene were Lt. Omega is showing Colonel Tye a damage report on what looks like a Tablet or kindle. Their robotics are about where our robotics are now. And of course the bridge relies upon computers, though we laugh at those green graphics.
Coming soon...thoughts on improvement.
