I never watched the old Galactica systematically- just caught the odd episode here and there. I seem to remember reading or hearing that the original writer was a Mormon and that the series is full of coded Mormon theology.
The best thing about the new series is that they gave the Dirk Benedict role- the cigar chomping, super-macho fighter jock- to a girl. She's rather good in it too.
I'm hoping that the series may perk up as it progresses. They've got two things right; the sets and special effects are terrific and they've hired some good actors. All they need now are some writers.
