I really did'nt care for any of the comedic undertones of the show however. I would love to see an updated remake but a little more dark and serious. The show did however deal with serious issues such as crime, immigration, teen sex and prejudice. I think I would like the show alot more if it had a more relistic feel. I plan on watching and I hope it will be good. I was a fan of the 80’s show. I really did’nt care for any of the comedic undertones of the show however.

Glen Larson's "Battlestar Galactica" was a romp, plain and simple. As great as it was, it had about as much emotional weight as Larson's Knight Rider, Manimal, Buck Rogers... Minnear's got his work cut out for him - but then, at least he won't have Joss Whedon's juvenilia mucking up his work here, so there might be hope yet. Lots of opportunities for cameos also - maybe someone could even dig up Sean Six, see what he's up to nowadays.
