Julie, one thing that is interesting is the homage to the original series. I noticed the cresent on the front of Adama's viper helmet that matches somewhat to the original series. They also seemed to have modeled the helmet closely to resemble the one from G80. Of course there is always the token music at the begining of the first episode.
Frankly in my opinion if you are trying so hard to bring TOS elements into the mix why not telll the story the way it was originally planned? From what i've heard this could be a test as to how TOS material hold's up today. You can tell this was a heavy green screen production but it was also steller effects for a web based show. One thing that i did not enjoy was the len's flare effects were way to much. But that's to mask element's of the green screening. Right now it's popcorn and i like popcorn. They went overboard with Adama blowing his canopy. That was way to hotdog in space for me but it was entertaining. If the show stay's on task and becomes what DS9 did for Trek then i might enjoy it. I guess i'm changing in my old age. Keep us off planet and away from the hummer's and the tie's and i might just tune in.
