Does Anna remind anyone else of Servalan from Blakes 7?

I hadn't thought of that, but crikey - you've definitely got a point.

Jane Badler is definitely looking her age when she appears. Season 2 is looking extremely interesting, hopefully it'll keep up the pace in subsequent episodes.

Anna is a true politician, even she uses global warming to scare the populace

Can anyone remember which side the journo is on as I forgot from series 1?
(just watched ep1 s2)

[Doniger]

I don't think even he really knows.

I think he started off promoting the Vs, then spied on 5th column for Anna and caused them trouble, and at the end of series 1 he came across the human testing which is why I guess he does what he does in the 1st episode of series 2 and 'switches sides'.

I thought so, then wondered if I had forgotten another switch (as it has been months since I watched it)

I do hope Season 2 does well as they struggled to get another as the Studio were thinking of cancelling it.

For those 'watching in the USA' the last episode is tomorrow.

Sadly no sign of a third series as the ratings have been low.

All the good scifi gets cancelled

[Tsippy]

I hope they get a 3rd season, it has really built up nicely and I guess it was always planned as a 3 season series? Much better than most of the st that has money thrown at it nowadays

To be honest, I’m not surprised. I think it’s been below par.

[KrazyIvan]

Anyone confirm is this is worth a watch?

Just finihsed all four season of Battlestar Galactica (as well as the 1978 one, which really was as good as I remember), dont like the look of Caprica, so looking for something sci-fi to watch in the background as I play games.

[poprock]

It’ll probably do you as background. It’s been tolerable, but lacks depth and believable character writing (especially in comparison to the ’80s original). I’ve really disliked the vagueness of the updated narrative—the shift from science saving humanity to fuzzy emotion and faith doing the job.

It’s no Battlestar Galactica, that’s for sure.

Just been catching up on the first series and look forward to seeing the second one soon.

My only criticism is that some episodes nothing really happens over the hour, or that's how it feels to me. But enjoyable anyway.

second season is well worth watching

That's only 10 episodes then, last season had 12, doesn't look good, Season 2 struggled to get the go ahead, there's a lot of CGI so it must be fairly expensive to make.

Shame, I enjoyed them.

I was looking forward to this remake as I loved the original. I'm sorry, but whoever said this was better than the original is WRONG. Don't get me wrong it's not bad and for a starved Sci-Fi fan it's worth a watch but it isn't a patch on the origanl. It's way too slow paced in places, doesn't have the memorable characters of the original and most importantly they've gotten rid of those brilliant lazer guns which made such an awesome noise and replaced them with ones that look like metal door handles and fizzle out. Where are my frikkin loud lazers dammit!

[Tsippy]

Just watched the last episode, it'd better not finish on that!!!! Although I'd rather it finish in that fashion than the way Enterprise finished with its shoddy finale

have you re-watched the original recently? It's on YouTube if not, I loved it and had fond memories but it's not really aged well.

[Scraggles]

re-watched the original last year and not miss the little wires that they suspended the spaceships from
