Review:
The Galactica while on the run from the Cylons, stumbles across the Pegasus, which has been running a two year long "hit and run" war against the Cylons behind their lines. Immediately there is a clash between Adama and Cain over strategy and "who wears the pants" in the command food chain. I loved "Battlestar Galactica" as a kid, but I watch it now and I cringe. It hasn't aged well. However, it has a certain, nostalgia feel for me. In the end of the film the fate of the Pegasus is uncertain....this is on purpose.
Had there been a season 2 of Galactica, Cain and his crew would have returned. It was always intended to bring them back. However, alas, ABC pulled the plug.
