I didn't watch the miniseries and the first few episodes because I really wanted to see the Richard Hatch series produced. I gave in because of the buzz it was getting, and I've been enjoying it. Oddly enough, because I joined late, I didn't know that both Boomers were Cylons. When they said in the opening "There are many copies." I thought they meant that they were copies of regular people. I mean, really, it's one thing to make Starbuck and Boomer into women, but to make one into a Cylon, too? Sheesh!

Btw, I doubt it's shown any more, but if you can catch the Galactica: the Next Generation (or whatever they called it) at a SF con, get there an hour early so you'll have a seat. Finest four minute trailer for a movie that'll never be made that you'll ever see. Jon Calicos is even in it (filmed against a green screen, so they can edit it if they needed to). Lorne Green even appears as a hologram historical recording. Kicks ass.

Well, the whole "who's a Cylon" bit makes the show have some extra appeal in my book. What surprises me is that in the middle of all this recasting there isn't a significant role for an African-American male. That said, the recasting of Colonel Tigh was brilliant - I think he's the best character on the show by a wide margin.

I wasn't aware of the existence of the trailer you mention. I'll look for it!
