I got a kid on the way, so maybe it was just me but there three kid related scenes I was fond of.
Spoiler:
In the mini series, where No 6 snaps a tiny babies neck for the hell of it, and when it shows a kid the fleet was forced to abandon a small child who then got vaporised by the Cylons. And the fake dead baby in season 2 did me no favours, either.
Also, the Sharon rape scene wasn't cool. Didn't like that at all.
However, those are things that I have trouble with in real life as well, so...
I grabbed seasons 1-3 plus the introductory mini series a little bit ago, and have been slowly watching my way through the box. It's a good series, and has a lot of cool scenes and impressive bits of story. It's brutal though...sometimes unnescerily so. There are moments where they do things and while they have a reason, while there is a point to it in the story, it's enough to make you a little uncomfortable.
Like most running series, it's had its ups and downs (think parts of Season 3 was the main down period in Galactica, if I remember correctly.)
Anyway, I think it's been pretty good. Had some pretty awesome episodes and scenes here and there and in general a pretty nice feel to it.
Could be a bit hard at times to keep track of a few things at times, as they like to time skip every now and then.
I think the ending was absolutely fantastic. I'm actually almost amazed by the fact that they even did the ending as a 3 part and not just a double. They really went all the way at the end (Though, I hope that a home release of Season 4 will contain some extended/new scenes. As there's a lot of things that happens rather quickly, but gotta love how some of it was done. Almost done so well that I don't think they could've pulled it off in any different ways... so maybe it's just my hunger for more that makes me... want more.)
I started watching after a friend of mine recommended it in early 2008. I bought the mini-series + Season 1 HD DVD set for pretty much nothing... and well... got hooked
There's supposedly some extra 2 hour prequel/sidequel movie called The Plan coming at the end of this year (not to be confused with the movie Razor or the upcoming Caprica prequel series thingy).
Im curious if we have any folks here who have watched the new series. I've been wanting to get into it myself, and now that its just finished up I was wondering if its worth my time.
