Battlestar Galactica
I remember TiVo'ing the Battlestar Galactica mini-series when it first aired on the SciFi channel a couple years back. Never got around to watching it.
The disc arrived from Netflix the other day, and Dawnise and I ended up watching it tonight.
All three hours of it.
The last thing that managed to get me to sit still for three hours were the Lord of the Rings movies. I can't think of anything to say about it that will say more than that.
I'm not sure about Katee Sackhoff as Starbuck - Dirk Benedict she ain't - though I swear she channeled him for a moment or two near the end. The look on her face was strikingly similar.
Definitely worth watching the mini-series. It wasn't perfect, but it did a respectable job.
And it didn't hurt that the effects company was the same one that worked on Firefly. The exterior shots - 'specially the rack focus bits - sorta felt like coming home a bit.

And don't forget the huge plus of seeing "Serenity" fly across the screen!!!
