I have heard this show was worth watching from many sources, and I had been wanting to see it for a long time. Yesterday evening I picked up the three hour miniseries and watched the first hour and a half. I really liked it. My friend has the DVDs, I think I'll borrow them and work my way through the series. What I find funny is that the original BSG was considered a bit of a rip off of Star Wars, now the two are not even comparable. Star Wars is now infantile crap, and BSG is completely serious well done show (from what I have seen). Who would have thought that would happen. Both have gone a long ways since the late seventies.
