awesome show for the time . as far a copy anything from star war and i do not think so . the viper be nothing like the x wing . the model work be outstanding . some of the dialog be sugar coated and but the premise be great . for once and it isn not earth get annihilate by alien and robot . i have show this series to some of my son friend who think it be cool . it worth watch . lorene greene be excellent a commander adama and his counter part and john colicos and be very good a count baltar . i still love see the viper launch out of their tube ( i would like to see an x wiin have a dramatic entrance like that ) a lot of work go into the show only to have abc cancel it out of stupidity . the show be very popular ( which be why george lucas and co. go after it ) it be nothing like the new show . but be very well do .
