Worth every 'Centon' spent watching Yes, there are some departures (many) from the original series, but when this series stands on it's own 2 feet, it is very enjoyable. Some nice hard Sci-fi touchs in the show - for instance - when a viper or ship zooms by in space, you don't hear the rush of jet engines (which of course would never happen in the vacuum of space). The new female 'Starbuck' is a bit much (she even chews on cheap cigars in deference to the Dirk Benedicts' original portrayal). but on the whole the characters seem to be believable and well developed. Edward James Olmos as Adama is excellent, and the XO is great as well (with some possible character flaws being exposed early on). The new incarnation of Baltar is especially interesting...is he well meaning or not? The DVD ads some deleted scenes that are roughly CGI animated, but interesting. Also, the new Cylons....Wow! One in particular is not hard to look at by any means :)
