okay so I've started watching the 1978 Battlestar Galactica - from the start. There are some things I like but it's pretty clear that the '03 reboot took the better elements and forged something much more interesting.
One thing that stands out though is just how bad the effects are - not merely in terms of quality but the way they are done - i mean, you can see the rods holding up the ship models and the camera often moves in a way that when composited it looks as though the ships are panning sideways - that alone is really distracting.
3 episodes down - 21 to go.
has anyone seen Galactica 1980?
