The miniseries was awesome. I've watched it several times. I don't have cable so a friend tapes the series for me occasionally. I haven't seen that many episodes, the last one was the recent one where the Cylons boarded the Galactica. These Cylons are *scary*. You do not want to get close to one, you do not one to see you, if they do you die. Compare this with the laughable Cylons from the original series.
My favorite line: The war is over and we *lost*. It's time to start making lots and lots of babies.
But so far I'm not enjoying the episodes as much as the miniseries. There's too many characters to keep straight in my head (also my complaint with "Lost"). All the characters are kind of the same and it's really hard to tell them apart. The "gritty" dark atmosphere kind of genericizes everyone. And the ones you *do* get to know are really pretty unlikable. I absolutely LOVE Madam President and her rosy-cheeked assistant (it'll be interesting to see how he develops), but everybody else is pretty unlikable. Baltar is complex in an interesting way, but the latest episodes seem to imply he's going completely crazy and psychotic. Much less interesting in my opinion.
Also, currently, the sub-plots are kind of boring: Kobol, what's going on there? Caprica, enough already.
But I've only seen a few episodes, maybe that's par for the course. You can't really get to know the characters unless you watch them enough. I'm looking forward to getting the Season 1 DVDs.
