Yeah its still just a two hour pilot at the moment though isnt it? Last I heard anyhow. Plus the story sounds awful. It sounds more like 'lost in space meets the Jetsons' than the gritty, wartorn settings of BSG. Although BSG is very character driven the war adds a suspense and an action element which compliments the settings and the universe, without it, you're pretty much left with what we have now, minus the fact they get about in spaceships. Until they get to the good stuff like the political rebellion on sagitaron (refer Zarek graphic novel) and the initial stages of the first cylon war it just sounds too 'every day'.just downloaded the first episode of season 4...cant wait to watch it.
BGS is without a doubt the best thing on tv for ages.
oh and when season 4 is over the spin off caprica is due to start not long after
