Last night I finally finished watching Battlestar Galactica, the 1978 original series.
I have to admit, it doesn’t hold up as well as I remembered. When I was a kid I thought it was awesome. And there are a handful of pretty good episodes. The final episode of the series, which wasn’t intended as a finale as such, was nicely done.
But overall, there are dropped story arcs, strange relationship trajectories, bad acting, cheesy plots etc. The Cylons are slow plodding adversaries. They don’t really inspire fear.
I do like the ship design and sets. There was a lot of potential there. It was a fun dumb watch. I think I like Buck Rogers better.
