Battlestar Galactica

Last night I watched Battlestar Galactica for the first time. It was the first Battlestar Galactica experience for me. I haven't even seen the original movie, although I did know of its existence. Odd, since I'm a sci fi fan from way back.

I really enjoyed most of the episode (105: You can't go home again). I was put off a little by some of the camerawork, which reminded me of some of the worst of NYPD Blue's indulgence in deliberate camera wiggling for no reason. Being a huge fan of Blade Runner I was fascinated seeing Edward James Omos in a sci fi role again. His performance was good. I liked Starbuck a lot. Celebrity crush ahoy. Apollo seemed a little nancy-boyish for my liking (sorry if that offends anyone, it's just a feeling I had).

I think I'm going to be watching more often from now on -- I might even try to track down the series on DVD because I think it's moving to a 10.30pm timeslot which could get a little late.
