I must admit that I wasn't particularly attracted to the idea of them remaking this series. I can't recall any good remakes. Better off just to continue it with a new generation. But if your going to change as much of the series as they did and start all over then what they should have done is called it something else.
I don't have a TV and only started watching the series though bit-torrents over the last couple months. I've also been able to catch up on all the previous episodes quite easily though bit-torrents. I must admit now to myself that I am indeed a fan of this new series. I wasn't really sure for quite a while. There weren't any characters I wanted to like, they all seemed to have too many faults. And everyone just seems all too ready to dehumanize the cylon human clones. The way soldiers in all human wars conceive of the enemy as animals as if that in some way justifies cruel treatment. But then one episode caught my attention.
And that episode is "Downloaded". In it we discover that "Caprica Six" is now being haunted by an imaginary Baltar. A counterpart for an imaginary "Caprica Six" that haunts Baltar. And it is possible to see now that there is indeed an invisible hand, for good or for bad, guiding destiny. I'm not sure if the humans are going to find earth. It seems far more likely that the cylons themselves will face an apocalyptic event and the children of both are destined to be the future.
I'll probably be buying the series on DVD now. Though I wish there were an official subscription service that allowed me to purchase the season in advance and legally watch the episodes as they air on the net. I just wish that this show unlike so many others of television history actually has a planned story arc for future years and that it comes to an elegant and complete finish.
