(We only get four channels, two of which are owned by Canada. There is Sky--our version of cable--but it's very expensive and doesn't have anything worth watching. The movies they release are either way behind the States or old stuff I didn't bother watching when I was in the States.) But after reading some of the posts in here, I can see that perhaps I haven't missed much... I never really got into BSG when I was a kid--the special effects really bugged me. Of course, I played with the toys (until they were recalled because kids were choking on the missles when they fired them into their mouths--like duh) and the Cylon voices were cool... but the costumes sucked, the stories were lame, the special effects were lame (the same explosion clip) and I *hated* the damn joystick operated ships. The actual Battlestar looked like a bad Lego™ project, and it was really hard for me to get into it. So if they stick more sex appeal and violence into the new miniseries, then maybe it might perk it up a bit. The concept is nothing new--I'd prefer to watch Star Blazers though./johnny <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
