I now realise that some of that lingering resentment bled through to nu-Battlestar, and I may have done that show a disservice as a result. I loved Space Above and Beyond when it was on television, tuned in religiously each week as it was aired, and I felt betrayed when it was cancelled after just one season. It was because Space Above and Beyond had done it first. Then the other day, I started reviewing Space Above and Beyond, and I realised the true reason why I had disliked nu-Battlestar. I didn't think much of the gung-ho characters and I dropped nu-Battlestar after one season.
I hated the post 9/11 angst that infused the show. At the time, I thought nu-Battlestar was a pale shadow of the original late-seventies shiny adventure series. You see, of late I have had the chance to re-evaluate some of my past entertainment choices, and have found new understanding of why I went the way that I did. That's an odd way to start a review for Space Above and Beyond, but bear with me.
Introduction I never liked nu-Battlestar Galactica.
