Ok, totally late to the party here, but it was hard trying to find 3 uninterrupted hours in which to re-watch the mini.
Re-watching now that it's all over, I couldn't get over how young everyone looks. They all look like babies in this, except maybe MM, EJO, and MH. It was also like a big reunion, seeing how everyone was at the beginning - innocent and united, before election shenanigans, New Caprica, not!Earth, the mutiny... When survival was more important than politics or whose fault it was that they were spinning away somewhere lost in space.
I was reminded how much I liked Starbuck from the start, probably because of her cockiness, since it was backed with skill in her viper, and how much I disliked Lee. The stick up his ass is particularly evident here, only thawing in his few scenes with Kara, which I don't know that I'd noticed before. Given the backstory that RDM gave us in the finale, their scenes seemed kind of muted here, even the awesome scene when Lee comes back from the dead. But they're pilots and they're awesome and I loved getting to know them again.
