New Battlestar Galactica

[deralte]

I just watched episodes 2 and 3 of the new Battlestar Galactica and damn is this show great! The miniseries was okay, but they really hit their stride with these first three episodes so far. They've got the right mix of everything, and are really treating the idea of the remains of a civilization on the run seriously (it's very realistic, not like other shows *cough*Lost*cough*). Episode 3 was particularly good as a wonderful expansion of Apollo's character (he seemed somewhat lost in earlier episodes, but three is when he really hits his stride), made all the more ironic by the old Apollo playing opposite him. (Okay, yes, also Jamie Bamber is extremely hot in that episode *bg*).

Hopefully, they'll keep their standards up since I haven't seen such a good scifi series since, hmm, Farscape (not that they're anything alike, just that they're both good).

Need a BG icon now.
