And I've noticed the same age-related issues with oBSG... people who watched about age 14 or younger have a far higher opinion of it than cynical old coots of age 16 or over like me [at the time].
I was 15 when the original Galactica premiered, and while I liked it well enough at first, I grew more and more disenchanted with it as the season went on. I tend to think of it as the year I calibrated my bullshit detector.
