So I finally broke down and watched the new re-imagined Battlestar Galactica mini-series yesterday. I have been hearing people say nothing but good things about this show for a couple of years now, but had continued to refrain from checking it out due to my lingering memories of the original.

While this new version is definitely not the best thing on tv, I was surprisingly impressed with the new direction they have taken it. Well, at least the direction they have taken with the mini-series. I’m reserving judgment for the ongoing series until I have actually had a chance to sit down and  consume it.

I do love the notion of religious zealotry in an artificial life form. This alone makes the character of Number Six imediately the most interesting and fascinating of the bunch.
