There was the original miniseries first, and then the final battle. Both of those were brilliant and I really thought the series would be incredible.
Unfortunately their budget was next to nothing, and they constantly had to repackage and re-air previous fight scenes to save money, which is almost always a death blow for a sci-fi show. The series lasted one season, had that terrible cliffhanger where the boyfriend stowed away on the ship when they took his hybrid lizard girl, and that was all she wrote.
A few years ago I might have been against this idea, but I am encouraged by the wondrous things they did with the new Battlestar Galactica. Maybe we can catch lightning in a bottle twice...
