Better than most.  The new Battlestar Galactica is far, far better than the
original, and better than most SF on television or in the movies (which
isn't saying a whole lot, I realize).  It is following the original story
line, more or less, but has taken it a whole bunch of notches up the
quality ladder.  The production values and acting are also of far higher
quality than the original series.  It's well worth a look.
