Anyone else just watched this on Sky One?

I tried to hate it, I really did. I mean, Starbuck and Boomer are now girls, the Cylons are crap cgi and they have human looking cylons, but I actually really enjoyed it. First Sci-fi I've enjoyed in a while (got bored of Star Trek spin-offs about 5 years ago).

Note to self: look in loft and see if you can find your old Viper model

Nowhere near as good as the original series IMO.

The mini-series is just the film split into two bits and shown on two days, (I saw it in it's complete form on sky movies a few weeks ago). Unfortunately, the second part isn't any better than the first

I saw Stargate Atlantis - if you are a Stargate fan then you will like it. If you arent already a fan it wont convert you. More of the same stuff with new people. The attractive one this time is a bloke unfortunately - but alot of crossover appearances from main SG1.

It was much better than I thought it was going to be.

Seemed to be a fair amount of clothes off action until the Cylons turned up. And yeah, robot or not I'd go for the Cylon bird every time.

"Cos its been turned into a gift shop!"

One thing I did miss was how come the Cylons were able to disable the new Vipers but not the old?

I saw Lee Adarma's Viper shut down and thought it was becuase of the cylons but then I had to soo to the nipper so when I returned the old Vipers were fighting the Cylons.

Something to do with old tech I presume?

PMSL Funniest comment I have seen on here for a while!!

The stargate atlantis was ok, but I second the comments earlier, if you don't like the original then you probably won't like the spin-off!!

I missed BG as well, but it should be repeated on mix at some point!

Gaius Baltar designed the comp systems for the new ships and was seduce into to giving the codes for the ships comps to the cylons by no6, as the old vipers were older tech they wern't affected.
