And that's the bottom line. If the story works and the show is fun to watch, then thumbs up! I LIKED Buck Rogers. But there was never any doubt that it was a cartoon, not a serious SF drama. BG teetered on the line; sometimes it tried to be a serious drama, but other times it was a comic book. I like the fact that BG03 is more serious, but I'm not sure Ron Moore is heading for the exactly right balance between realism, action adventure, and soap opera.
