I'd give it a 9/10 myself. And I'm hoping they will bring back the foreshadowing stuff in the beginning credits. I think that's a throwback to the original series -- they did a 'tonight on Battlestar Galactica' before every episode.
Some random thoughts...
So what are your theories of the 'ambush' on Kobol? Was it Cylons mowing them down? Was it humans? Was it just an automated defence system?
It really set the stage for things to come... IMHO.
Once that funky cyclon ship hit Gallactica and there was no explosion, I was thinking -- um, er, ya better check the hangar bay. Seeing all those red eyes in the end was freaky!
I liked Starbuck's comments when her ship was lifted: "That b*&ch stole my ride." That's what you get when you park your spaceship on the bad side of town and start arguing with a pregnant cylon...
Can't wait till next Friday!
