The advanced cyborg race of Cylons living secretly embedded among humans has a plot to wipe out the human race with a series of nuclear attacks, but things don't necessarily go as planned. Led by Brother Cavil (Dean Stockwell), the Cylons keep hitting obstacles in their genocidal conspiracy, not the least of which is the botched assassination attempt by Boomer (Grace Park) on human Commander Adama (Edward James Olmos), a shot led astray by Boomer's guilty conscience.

The project might all be an exploitative departure from the ''Battlestar Galactica'' brand name, but it's hard not to like where the spacemen (and spacewomen) are going.

It's a type of world-building best-suited to endless franchises-the multi-book series, the film trilogy, the serialized television show. The detail is there for richness, not for third-act plot expediency.

Rated: A-

And what is "Galactica," old or new? A high-flying trifle. Choice, cheesy adventure. Sci Fi pulp. So stop squeezing your thermoses, turn off your brain, and enjoy.

...the picture improves immeasurably once the aforementioned conflict kicks into high gear...

The new "Battlestar Galactica" is joyless, somber and a little boring.

The strength of this series is the way its characters each choose to react to this untenable situation.

Battle Star Gallactica is one of the best shows to have come out. Miss it so much. I haven't seen anything like it since.

Possibly the best sci-fi made so far. Has the darkness of The Walking Dead, the drama of Dexter, and the intrigue of The West Wing

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
