I saw the first episode the other day (note: I'm Yurpian). Well, that is, it was advertised as the first episode, but it seemed like the second episode to me.
Anway, I like it so far. Feels very different from the original, but then, I never really liked the original that much anyway. Looks like this one's a bit easier to take seriously.
There are a few things that bother me, though, like the use of pixelated fonts in the computer interfaces and the fact that there are boards of blinking LEDs in a giant spaceship capable of interstellar treval. Oh well, style over substance, I suppose.
