Agree about Katee Sackhoff -- she gets to play Starbuck as a villain: all the wacky, none of the angst. Funny, I thought the lead wasn't mopey enough -- she seemed to come to terms with becoming a pre-programed killing machine a little too easily. And the whole thing suffered a bit from superhero writing cliches, but that can be forgiven.
I really like Miguel Ferrer though. And the underlying theme of "well, maybe we won't kill you . . . today" reminded me of "Once and Again," which I thought should have had a longer run.
