True how BSG has evolved. Amazing how many collectors are snapping up stuff now that it's possibly ending.

Oh I agree about the remake caution … there are a plethora of bad examples to point to, so caution seems to be the first instinct these days (especially for scifi fans). I know I am already nervous about the amount of attention the Watchmen is getting, because it seems like the more attention a project gets in preproduction the more likely a “bad” decision will be made that could mess up the whole deal.

I also agree with your comments above about how odd it is to watch the miniseries after knowing more about what is to come. They all look so young and energetic, especially compared to the end of season three when you can really feel the exhaustion permeating the fleet.

Nice. I'm looking forward to this string of posts.

I need to revisit the miniseries as well – I watched it on DVD during season 2 and remember loving it, it would be interesting to look at now though to note as you did where the characters were versus where they are now.

Podophile that is a good suggestion. Generally all my reviews are kind of spoiler leaning so I suppose I need a blanket statement.

Margie I do remember being a little taken aback by the casting decisions when the BSG reimagining was announced, but looking back at the 70s TV series the new one is light years ahead. I think the past history of strange movie remakes leaves me all skeptical anytime someone threatens to revisit childhood entertainment.

Definitely looking forward to season 4!

It is odd now, after all of the acclaim the modern version of BSG has accumulated, to think back on the furor that it sparked when it first aired … but the things we take for granted now were pretty revolutionary at the time.

It is always nice to have more BSG commentaries floating around, the series is so complicated that individuals tend to pick up on so many different things. Good luck with your episode project, I look forward to reading more summaries in the future!

You might want to add a spoiler alert to this article. Even though the pilot may seem like ancient history, there are still plenty of people who haven't gotten around to watching it yet.
