I know you posted your comments 5 months ago so I am bit late but I totally agree with everything you have written. I thought I must be the only one who feels this way about the re-imagined BSG. I totally love the original BSG and I'm very excited about the possibility of a new movie. Your comments are not only spot on but extremely funny! You make me laugh sooo hard with you comments.

Let's hope this movie comes becomes a reality. Having said that I must say there is a lot of negative comments from both sides about which show is better. All I can say is that it's like saying an orange is better than an apple. They are both totally different fruits. Some people prefer oranges some prefer apples but that doesn't mean that one is better than the other. They're just different. I'm sure there is room two different visions of the Battlestar Universe.

Let's just accept the differences and enjoy the version that you enjoy.

One show offered a clear line of distinction of what was right from wrong, good from evil and the other offered nothing of the sort. Dispite the poor production, props and chopped up storylines, TOS BSG was a great SciFi show that had substance and a great sense of why they must survive.

This new BSG makes one to reach for the gun and put your last bullet in your brain…leaving you feeling like, “Why not? Nothing to live for anyways, I could be a fraking cylon and not even know it either way I am doing us all a favor.”

If this is the type of “good” entertainment to look forward too in SciFi then no thank you…I get enough of this from the media and newspapers.

Richards appearance in it didn’t make him a lot of friends within the existing fan base.

If you RDM Trek fans are so hot for re-imagining, why don’t you get behind an RDMjob on Trek TOS?

I mean, let’s face it, by your standards, the original Trek was cheesy 60s drek. Let RDM have his way with that.

You know, Spock as a Woman, who is sleeping with every other person on Enterprise. Kirk as a drug addled, angst ridden, sex fiend. McCoy a drunken old Doctor with the shakes. Sulu and Chekov Klingon Spies. Klingon is actually a Human Colony. Uhura, well, we won’t even get into her kinky perversions, except to say a good watching of jerry Springer should give you some idea

Make the whole thing a psych drama aboard the Enterprise, kinda like a dark, gritty mating of Melrose Place and Love Boat. No Transporters, because that just isn’t realistic. Old brick style cell phones are the new communicators. And the costumes? I’m sure we could get ahold of the wardrobe truck from some Day Time Soap Opera, or just go with JC Penney off the rack.

Wouldn’t that be more Real?

We could even get a Cameraman with the DTs, because we know how much the RDM BSG fans like that shakey camera thing.

Now that sounds like a Re-Imagining you should get behind!

So why was Captain Picard bald, and why was every Star Trek incarnation characterised by values straight out of the 50′s? What a ridiculous comment.

And I for one would like to hear less of this kind of undermining back-drama than more.

Not some Devoid of Imagination, Angst filled, Sex Drama in Space. Costumes that don’t look like someone snagged the wardrobe truck from General Hospital.

A Space Opera that didn’t look like it was cast with a reunion of the Jerry Springer Show.

Bring Back Battlestar Galactica.
