Positive Experience/Entertaining? This series is amazing. I really didn't want to like it, but it's so solid and seems to understand, even more than the original, why human survival is such a great story to explore. Yes, it's a little hard to take Starbuck being a woman, but give her time. She kicks ass.
Technically any good? While season 2 lags a little, season one is almost flawless and season 2.5 knocked me on my ass. The bad episodes only suffer because characters do things they wouldn't do (Starbuck falls in love reeeeally fast, for example) and so does the story (we go back to their home planet for some reason). Generally speaking however, the acting is spot on--everyone is absolutely brilliant and solid and believable. Edward James Olmos (Adama) should get a thousand Emmies and the wonderful duality James Callis brings to Baltar makes me want to be an actor. The writing is really strong and there's a great story arch that is easy to follow.
Final Rating? WEW - Watch Every Week. Currently it's running on the SciFi Channel, but the miniseries and seasons 1, 2 and 2.5 are all available on DVD (click the images to the left to get 'em from Amazon). not to over-hype this, but this show is really good.
