With the boyfriend being an old BSG fan from way back we of course had to give the new version a try. I didn't watch much tv as a kid, so the whole concept was pretty new to me. I have since watched a couple of the old episodes as well as parts of the film(s). I can see why he liked it.
I enjoyed the mini-series, but it didn't make me a huge fan. We watched the first season of BSG and I wasn't too impressed. I know I'm in the minority with that opinion, but it just didn't click with me. There were two or three good episodes, but I felt that some of it was too formulaic for me. Heroes with a traumatic past that they have to overcome first don't excite me much.
Can't tell you anything about the second season, because we gave it a miss (too much tv on our schedule already....).
Oh, and a word to the wise: Don't look too closely at the credits (we 'stilled' the picture), because they contain snippets from the episode which can spoil the viewing pleasure quite a bit.
