    The series, while starting good, quickly fell into a soap opera. It was like Voyager, but without the happiness or even rhythm. It just becomes tedious.

    Another boring sci fi soap opera, full of cheap drama and unlikable characters, of which, Starbuck is both, the most annoying and hilarious at the same time, as she is a military space pilot, who behaves like fifteen years old kid, and one of the dumbest kind. Since it aired, i tried to watch it for four times, but my god, this show is just so bad for a sci fi series.

    Perhaps the most refreshing thing about this re-imagined "Battlestar" is its darkness (and by that I don't just mean the show's dusky blue-and-brown visual palette). This new "Battlestar," which is creatively helmed by "Carnivale" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" veteran Ronald D. Moore, doesn't pretend that the aftermath of the mass destruction of most of humanity is anything but deeply scary. [14 Jan 2005, p.C3]

    The show could use a little more humor, and that may come as supporting players step into more prominent roles, but the first several episodes bode well for a series that should eventually win over fans, old and new. [14 Jan 2005, p.E33]

    The show stresses the sex a little too aggressively, the better to pull in teen boys. Nevertheless, this promising show is more the heir to Farscape than the old Battlestar, which is all for the best. [14 Jan 2005]
