Looks like the next series on my to-watch list (after Twin Peaks) will be the original BSG.

I can't tell you if you'll like it but I'm having a good time so far. I'm about halfway through [Pegasus FTW] and it's fun comparing what's different, what's similar, etc..

One thing i can say is that if i'd watched it a few years back I'd probably have thought it was crap and trailed off. I have more appreciation for it now than i would have in the past. And it makes me appreciate the 2003 series even more, so there's that.

One thing I find really distracting at the moment is that they use the same music theme for just about everything. - someone is brushing their teeth - Cue dramatic theme tune!!

Oh yeah - and the dialogue - they have their own terms for units of measure but this isn't just going imperial to metric - almost all the units have similar extremely sounding words - it's really hard to follow sometimes.

aside from that the dialogue is pretty contemporary and jarring - people say things like "oh my god!" but elsewhere we are led to believe they are polythiest - little things like that.

I'm divided on whether I should watch Galactica 1980. I might for completion sake but it looks godawful - more like a M*A*S*H* spin-off than BSG series 2!
