I greet this news with a solid "meh."
Not one of my favorites, the pilot episode was fairly strong (for TV science fiction in the 70's) but then the writing in series quickly devolved. I mean, Star Trek at least waited until the third season until it aired its western in space, Battlestar wasted no time and dragged out that cliche in its first. And then there were the Space Nazis. When you're dusting off the Sieg Heil boys as your villains, in general you've run out of ideas. (Ice Planet Zero = Guns of Navarone.)
But it gave us the excellent series on SyFy (godawful name) so there is always that.
The End of an Era (plus classic Battlestar is finally coming to Blu-ray in the States) (http://www.thedigitalbits.com/columns/my-two-cents/111114_1115)
