Actualy, if you hated the original you may like this one.
Those of us who loved the original are a little lukewarm on it.
BTW: When the current BSG is plugged as "Best show on television" that must mean the rest of TV is pretty bad.
I loved the original and I love the new one. I think the new one is doing a better job of getting to the root of the story the old one couldn't (because ABC sucked... and still sucks). On the other side the new one isn't quite as outright fun as the old one.
