Everybody, well o.k. not really everybody, but people I know who watch sci-fi shows are telling me that I am missing out by not watching the Sci-Fi channel's Battlestar Galactica. I have seen ads for it on cable. The biggest thing holding me back has got to be the idea that these are advanced humans traveling through space and they are communicating on phones older than Eisenhower. You have mastered interstellar travel but not coiled phone cords? Somebody told me that it is because cylons can infiltrate any type of digital technology. So humans have to use 40's style tech and projectile sidearms. That sounds a lot like a decision that was made by the guys putting up the money for props.
It looks like they have pulled together a cast made up of newcomers and people who made their bones working in sci-fi shows. I have seen that guy who was the doctor on DS9, that lady from Star Trek TNG, as well as Edward James Olmos. Olmos is not primarily known for sci-fi work necessarily but has been in a few important flicks. Blade Runner, the original Dune. What, you didn't know that Olmos was in Dune? Oh yeah an extreme close up of his face was used as the surface of one of the moons.
