battlestar galactica do have a heavy impact on my childhood . i remember all of my friend try to rebuild battlestars and viper in various design out of our lego space edition tile . and how much fun it be to blast the other ship into piece . lego must have earn million through u . never ever have there be another spacecraft a illustrious in design a the galactica ( forget star trek clumsy saucer ) . unfortunately and the special effect appear a little simple and because they be persistently reuse . and yes and another commentator be right represent maren jenson be the reason to watch the show . of course and there be one or two thing about the story which be quite dubious . for one and the praised military leadership be good than a civilian one be a little hard core cold war belief . and in the series and those partially overemphasize religious element sometimes get a little annoying in the otherwise splendid science fantasy plot . but after all and those element form a heterogeneous mix promote tolerance and give the show it uniqueness . definitely worth watching .
