I'm generally not a big fan of prequels because you already know what happens at the end. In this prequel, you already know that young Adama is not going to die no matter how terrible a situation he's in. So that takes away some of the suspense. Young Adama doesn't look much like old Adama. He is taller and much thinner, and he doesn't have the acne scars. But he does display the same commitment to duty as old Adama.
This pilot episode is a little inconsistent. It starts off looking like another great space adventure, but about halfway into the episode (at about the 50-minute mark) it became more like a Resident Evil movie instead of a space adventure. That's what I thought. You might get the same feeling after you watch it.
It doesn't sound like they will get the thumbs up to film the series, but I would definitely be a viewer if they ever make this into a TV series.
