can understand that and agree that his action bits can be a bit boring. Blame it on re-cutting and such… As Nic says Galactica is very minimalistic and some parts work best in the TV series itself (which I loved btw although always being critical regarding such reboots). Btw, you actually even get Stu Phillips in the series because his theme as re-use as the anthem of the Twelve Colonies 😉

Yes, the Stu Phillips theme was the anthem, that was a nice touch. I remember when BATTLESTAR GALACTICA started, I was quite pleasantly surprised. Even though from the very beginning some things in the series were WTF and made no sense or were highly questionable, it went off to a promising start and had some tight and very smart writing. Alas, it really fell apart in season 3 and 4, and the revelation of the final 5 put a nail in the coffin. I’m willing to forgive and go along with lots of things if a series is good, but… nope, not there. The series left a bitter aftertaste for me, because it started so good and ended so poorly. But the music was top notch.
