Battlestar Galactica Reviews

Was very young when the original series came out.  Though a little campy, it was ahead of its time.  The techology required to put on such a show just wasn't available.  Also TV networks required a lot more shows in a season in those days, and it wasn't easy putting quality work out in such a short time.  Don't feel it's really fair to compare the series in quality.  In this case it's apples and oranges, and the present series wouldn't have even been considered for television.  Everything on TV had to be rated G. — — The newer version has succeeded… read full review »

I borrowed the DVDs and just started watching.   I can't believe I haven't been watching this all along.   I saw the original growing up and it was silly and fun for its time so I enjoyed it for what it was.    The new show borrows names and basic concepts from the original and everything else is a world apart.    The characters, story-lines and visual effects are stunning, intelligent and some of the best TV I have ever seen.  — I just caught up to this season and although I'm sad to see it ending it is also fun to see the… read full review »

This series is definitely not for children, as several reviewers have stated (or complained), but I'm not sure anyone would mistake it for that, so why are people complaining? The writing is incredible. It's one of the top shows on tv as far as writing and production values go. The characters and their interactions never fail to interest me. I haven't seen Season 3 yet, but Seasons 1 & 2 were incredible.  I can't imagine even comparing it to the original because they are totally different. Fans of the old series can like this one if they just separate the two totally. It's… read full review »

I watched the original show when I was a child and I feel like this new version of the show grew up with all of us.  — The show is darker than the original in a very good way.   The story-lines are modern and parallel much of what is going on in the news today.    I've always loved Sci-Fi that tackles social and policital issues in comparison to what is happening in "their" world.   — It is too bad season 4 will be the last season, however, it gives the writers some great liberties of not having to worry about how this will fit with next… read full review »

I watched Battlestar Galactica the first time around. Yes, it was campy, but I liked it. When the new version came out, I did not watch it the first year because I was afraid they played around with the storyline too much. I wasn't ready for a female starbuck or having some of the characters being cylons in hiding. However, after my children, who are also sci-fi fans raved about the show, I started watching. I am glued to the set when Battlestar comes on now--even the reruns-- and can't wait for the new season to… read full review »

This is such a great series that I just started watching prior to season 4's airing. Can't wait to see how it all ends this last season. Edward James Olmos 4TW!!!!!!!!!!

I'm very pleased with the updated version of this old time favorite. The characters are much more realistic, and quirky. It certainly conveys the feeling of being a war-weary group of travelers, and the common ancestry with earth humans makes it mean more than just another alien saga. — I am enjoying the mini segments of the pre-quells they are showing now of Battlestar Razor. —… read full review »

Battlestar Galactica is an amazing show with great writing and acting. The characters are not the almost perfect cardboard cut-outs that you may remember from the original series. These characters have depth, faults, fears, and all of the other characteristics that make up great men and women. —  Watch this show. You won't be disappointed. —… read full review »

One of the best shows on TV in the sci-fi genre or any other. The characters are developed properly and you end up feeling a connection with each of them. The plot twists are extraordinary especially at the end of season 3 regarding the new Cylon models. If you enjoy action, drama and especially sci-fo you will love this show. Enjoy ! —… read full review »

I love this show, I am devistated that it will be ending. This remake is so much better than the original. The character's are so likeable, you can't help but feel like you know them. I can't wait to find out who the last cylon is, will they find earth, will starbuck finally be with apollo. Words can't describe how great this show… read full review »
