It is really good because it's different.
Camera work is different, it moves and zooms in the CG like it was a real cameraman filming from some spaceship window. They don't just perfectly follow things gliding by.
Fighter manoeuvres with thrusters and pilot has to aim manually, no magical autopilot where you just select manoeuvres and targets. Real action!
A unique storyline instead of a series of predictable filler episodes. If only Baltar wasn't so damn boring...
I hope you've seen Firefly too. Sci-fi western made of win and awesome.
