What’s better to help me forget about that stolen iPhone other than a new big budget prime time sci fi show to watch. Gosh V, that’s a big TV…
I watched, hoping for a BSG-style re-imagined remake of the 80’s original and I got the feeling that’s what they were going after. For some reason I can’t quite tell yet if they succeeded. I didn’t watch much of the original miniseries (or any iterations thereafter) but remember enough know a few spoilers. So I was glad that the pilot covered a lot of ground and I think it got us far enough along the story to hopefully be able to kick into full swing next week. In comparison I felt both BSG and Sarah Conner Chronicles had excellent pilots and got things rolling right away. I think it might take a few more episodes to see how well I’m going to like this. But at least they got me willing to give it a try for a few more weeks. For now we’ve got a season pass. What did you think?

I enjoyed the pilot. It gave me strange dreams. I don’t remember them now but woke up a few times and had funky racing thoughts. I’m really curious to see next week’s episode. I think it will give a better sense of the feel and balance of the show. I definitely don’t want a show that is largely stressful for my weeknight viewing. Last night’s episode was well balanced from that standpoint.
