Trivia:

The large scopes used on the Marines' rifles is an Elcan M145 optical sight. They're in current use by the US military, but they're designed to be used with machine guns, and not rifles. They're commonly mounted on the M240 Medium Machine Gun.

Quotes:

Number Six: Life has a melody, Gaius. A rhythm of notes which become your existence once played in harmony with God's plan.

Loses its way

After a pretty good start Battlestar Galactica settles into a comfy crevice somewhere between Star Trek and a serious TV spin-off of Starship Troopers.

I managed season one, before which I saw the 3 hour miniseries (which is pretty much necessary). The end of the world is desperate and exciting place to be and the distended feature-prequel makes the most of it. One can also see the seed of the show's descent to complacency though: the scene in which the human finally meets a long-awaited Cylon diplomat has dramatic potential but is over-cooked with melodrama... and sex.

I think this is my biggest worry about Battelstar. As the newly incumbent president points out in an early episode, with only 50,000 humans still alive the species should be 'making babies'. How on earth there is so little actual sex in the close confines of a fleet of space ships under the emancipating trauma of near-collective death and the euphoria of (temporary) survival is something I found difficult to process, especially given the fertile ground of the explicit dramatic thread, the military vs the civil.

It has mixed production, although the space sequences are very up to date, with interesting camera post-production and sound design. The rest of the designs stick roughly to the original: materials are updated a little, although beloved, signature impracticalities, like the ubiquitous octagonalisation of everything from paper to picture frames is maintained. The acting is only average, I'm afraid. Mary McDonnell is a convincing emergency president and Edward James Olmos a stoic Admiral Adama. Tricia Helfer's half-Cylon no.6 is an interesting character in an under-exploited relationship with James Callis' equally interesting is excessively rendered doctor Gaiaus. Of course, naming Helfer's infiltrating harpie-ego after the principal character of TV show The Prisoner probably sets its own bar too high. Watchable but deeply imperfect. 5/10
