haiku review: battlestar galactica, miniseries and season 1

I've come late to Battlestar Galactica. I must confess I was exceedingly skeptical about the prospect, dismissing it as yet another attempt to uncreatively remake something old rather than bothering to think up something new.



But I finally got around to renting the miniseries and the first season, discovering that as is usually the case, on those rare occasions when I'm wrong about something, I tend to be spectacularly wrong.

Darkness. Pain. Loss. Hope.
Worlds end, humans struggle on.
Best show since Buffy.
