H-A-D
Have a Cylon day.
The original Battlestar Galactica was terrible. Even for the 1970s, it was bad. However, the Sci Fi Channel's recent Battlestar Galactica miniseries was really quite good. Based on the strength of the miniseries (both ratings and dramatic), half a season of television episodes have been ordered. I am quite optimistic about their potential quality; this optimism is based upon the participation of miniseries writer and executive producer Ronald D. Moore. For over ten years, Ron Moore was one of the best writers on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; he was particularly responsible for the development of the Klingons beyond their original series status as stereotypical Soviet-clones to the honor-obsessed warrior race we know today. (The single biggest problem with Star Trek: Enterprise may be that guys like Ron Moore, the veterans of the golden age of the '90s, aren't on the writing staff.) So, I have high hopes for Moore's Battlestar Galactica, based both on his proven track record and the dramatic strength of his miniseries.
Plus, the new Cylons are way better than the original toastermen.
