ah! Yes i knew there would be at least someone else
Im on season 3 episode 4 now, never thought id say this but actually enjoying it more than lost. Considering its a tv series the production is amazing, would rival some films imo.
great casting, superb character development, good effects etc, really am quite impressed by it. Maybe the fact it hasnt been hyped up is a good thing

The world ended with no warning, and all that was left … was hope.
The Cylons were created by the people of the Twelve Colonies. Intelligent robots, they were used as slaves and soldiers to fight humanity's wars. But the Cylons became sentient and they rebelled. Man and machine fought to a bloody stalemate, then the Cylons withdrew to a remote region of space.
A truce between the Twelve Colonies and the Cylons lasted for 40 tense and silent years. Each year, on the anniversary of the treaty-signing, humanity sent an envoy to the neutral ground of Armistice Station to meet with a Cylon envoy. For 39 years, no Cylon envoy came.
Then, on the 40th anniversary, a stunning blonde — a Cylon in human form — met the human envoy … moments before the Cylons vaporized the station and launched a genocidal attack on the Twelve Colonies.
In one devastating day, billions of human lives were consumed by nuclear fires. Only those souls fortunate enough to be aboard starships were able to band together and escape and flee into deep space, led by the sole surviving Colonial warship, the battlestar Galactica.
The Galactica and its crew seemed to be unlikely saviors for humanity's fewer than 50,000 desperate survivors. The ship was old and had been about to be decommissioned and turned into a museum when the Cylon attack occurred. In the aftermath its commanding officer, William Adama, found himself responsible for safeguarding the last remnants of the human race.
Meanwhile, the annihilation of the Colonial government on Caprica resulted in the succession of Laura Roslin, the Secretary of Education, to the presidency. Driven by prophetic visions and political necessity, she set the fleet upon a quest that will take it into the farthest reaches of unexplored space … in search of the mythical, lost "13th colony" — Earth.

Have got the boxsets of the miniseries (the pre-season-1 intro), seasons 1 & 2, and following the season-3 stuff as it's released...
And yes, it has Cylons in this one, but they're not the same as the ones from the original series (ie. look like they're made from cereal-boxes ).
Here's what the new Centurions look like --> (link) (link rather than image, since it's a big file)
Oh, and there's a new-style Cylon out, now, which look like humans.

The reason I didn't post the pics of the human-Cylons is in case he wanted to watch it, he wouldn't know who they are, as intended (well, apart from Tricia Helfer)!
Guess that's been spoiled now!
