Personally, I think the new series is very good. It should not be, although it is inevitable that it will be, compared with the old series.

The old series never really dealt with the end of mankind, it was a an episodal show in so far as it was a different story concluded each week. No matter how far away from their old planet they got they always found another planet with humans on it, and. or Cylons. I find this series a lot darker and much more interesting.

Baltar a Cylon?? - he was in the original series....

Baltars cylon detector - surely a blood test would suffice. In the pilot episodes a cylon that on the Ragnor station fell ill because of the special radiation that surrounded the cloud. Adama could tell he was a cylon, he told him that the radiation affects cyclon circuitry. Although they look human and the physiology is a near copy it is still synthetic??????
