Wow, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised then. Its nothing like Star Trek Next Gen. The new Battlestar Galactica is much, much grittier than the original. The first three series were outstanding. They've borrowed alot of the feel of Battlestar fighter ops from RL American aircraft carrier ops.

Unfortunately, like so many quality American sci fi series, BSG lost its way towards the end. It never ceases to amaze me how the original writers and creators of a series can produce an outstanding product only to have it completely destroyed a couple of series in by someone high up in a network who think they know what's best for the viewing public. Sometimes this is due to the "lowest common denominator" effect (dumbing down a program so that even the most retarded of viewers can understand what's going on), other times it seems to be inexplicable.
