1. Yeah, it's a good show.

Good characters. Good drama. Good action. Good acting. Good writing. There's bits that would come off looking silly, but the good acting pulls it through. Example: last night's episode with Olmos talking to his son on what he'd do if it had been him (the son) missing. If it were some Star Trek spin-off with two bit actors performing it, that would have been cheesy as hell. But Olmos makes it good.

2. I don't understand the appeal of this show.

Or the original, for that matter.

Telephone cords and guns blazing in space? :shrug:
