Not enough conflict with the cylons. The cyclon chick that haunts Baltar can be done away with. If we wanted to watch a show about mental disease we'd be watching the lifetime movie network.
Needs more space battles.
The storyline on Caprica may end up worthwhile but the fleet is moving very slowly.
Even a remake of a cheesy first series has to have resemblence to the first one. While the galactica design is good, similar but improved, the crew leaves much to be desired. Starbuck shouldn't be a girl. Starbuck is a womanizer not a woman.
Of course I still watch it but that's just because the Star Treks and Babylon five don't appear to be in reruns on any channels I get.
oh BTW, Hardcore SF fan here, both hard science and fantasy, and definitely conservative.
