I'm a fan of Battlestar Galactica and was excited to hear about a prequel show. Watching the pilot, one is instantly transported into a vibrant world that the shows creators should be congratulated for producing. The depth of character development is truly outstanding and the acting is excellent. However all too soon the show starts to slow down and becomes rather dull at times. Now I understand that you can not have it all, but I felt that ultimately less time should have been spent on some of the character development and used to quicken up the pace of the show. Around the middle of the series it seemed like the writers were in two different minds about where to go with the show, this showed with some of the random tangents and characters that came and went. By the final act I had gone from an emphatic viewer, caring for the cast to someone who just wanted the series to be over and wrap up. The series is indeed well made and has an excellent cast, really could have developed into something more, but as the ratings showed, it is probably best left as it is, cancelled.
