What they got right: Shatner and Davis are weaving quite an interesting tale. The characters and the world are quite believable, and the art continues to pull out the little things, like the "hologram room" where the holograms are see-through, like they came out of a film projector. You can also which narration is done by Jake and which is done by a more omniscient narrator when needed. The little touches add to the story.
What they got wrong: I was under the impression that this would be an adaptation of the novels. However, they've either skipped a heck of a lot, or decided to go back to square one, and use the Tekwar novels more as a guide than a continuation/adaptation of the novels, like the TV series did.
Recommendation: If they're going to do a re-imagining, at least they're getting it right. (GALACTICA!) Making me enjoy a dark story isn't easy, and so far they're two for two.
