Question above. My only experience is with a handful of episodes from the original series. They were OK, but I'm not sure I want to watch the whole thing. It's a little too low budget for me. Can I just jump into the movies or one of the later series?

To be fair, power isn't an unlimited resource in their setting. They need unobtainium and can't synthesize it. The shields always taking a strong hit could be the defenses are calibrated for a non-combat scenario, meant to deflect micro-meteors and whatnot, and they only divert more power to shields in a combat setting, so of the 10% of full power they have on the shields at the point of counterattack, they lose 30% of that, and don't even go all-in on the shields in combat unless the situation calls for it, to save fuel.
But that's headcanon territory.
