From: "Gary Nunn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> As a kid I liked the original Battlestar Galactica, even though it is so cheesy that it is almost painful to watch as an adult, but I really
Yeah, I feel just about the same way.
liked the remake tonight. A smartass woman Starbuck seems to work here. And no matter how evil she is, you gotta love Six. Ok, maybe just us Male Testosterone Filled Pigs will love Six.
I didn't see it, but I watched the hour-long preview show that talked all about it,
and I was totally put off by it. IMHO, the biggest reason for a Galactica remake is
to recapture the nostalgia for the characters, the Cylons, and the storyline. It
looked to me like this remake changes many/most of the characters substantially,
changed the nature of the Cylons, and made a lot of changes to the basic
storyline. It might be a good show in its own right, but those kinds of changes
make me think the creators were more interested in making their own show, using
BG as the hook for viewers, than in respecting the original material.
It's not that I think remakes need to be 100% faithful to their source material, but
a lot of the changes I saw struck me as gratuitous.
