I watched the originals all the time as a kid as well, but I have to say, so far I like the remake. I was a little upset be the last half an hour, commercials were 10 min long betwwen every 5 minutes of show. The ships look good and the idea is good (to me). Didn't care much for apollo, liked starbuck, and thought adama was really good. Still don't see how hey are going to work baltar in with the cylons (unless it's through banishment). Did NOT like the chick cylon or the moving red lights in the new cylon ships. As with any science fiction, you have to have suspension of disbelief for it to work, and that said...I really liked the whole idea of disabling the ship electronics in order to wipe out entire squadrons with only two ships. Also as another poster said, the lack of sound in space (most of the time) is somewhat realistic and well done , nice use of the drum soundtrack....I'd give it a B+
