This series took the basic premise of the original 1-2 season show and expanded it. And what a job they DID! This is the best show by far that came out that year. Capt. Adama is played by Edward James Olmos differently than the late, great Lorne Green. He does an EXCELLENT job. As does James Callis as Baltar, and it was bold to cast Starbuck as a woman. She was great in the role. The whole cast was, in fact, very good.
The story got a little confusing as the Cylons' motives were revealed and it seemed like the ending (of the show) was rushed. It was unconvincing but otherwise the acting was top notch. The thing was that despite the sci-fi nature of the show, it was really a very good drama.
