My reference which I have changed is to the one on the Moore Galactica show (the characterization was meant to refer to the character, not the person but it was written wrong and hence changed).

"The original BSG ran for *one* season. One measly season!" So? It was cancelled for reasons that had nothing to do with bad ratings, unlike Star Trek which ran a measly three. "If it were to be continued directly there would be a plethora of problems to solve. The actors have all aged 25...

"If the original Galactica had been a better show and had a larger following, it might have been continued in the form that it was" This kind of remark is the kind of misinformation that inevitably prompts the kind of posts I've made since none of the premises are correct. #1-Galactica...

What has happened in Battlestar Galactica is a unique situation regarding the kind of usual debate one might see over "orignal" vs. "remake". When this kind of debate happens you see those who will praise the original and blast the remake and that's the end of it because they still have a...

The moral standards comment was prompted solely by the suggestion that I was in need of spending time with the opposite sex merely because of my own personal opinion about a television show, which I felt was out of line.

"Well, it is a story about genocide. Maybe they should have done something happy-go-lucky, like, I don't know, go to a casino planet immediately after the human race is nearly annhilated." Sorry, but you're not even recalling the plot accurately. They went to a planet that was supposed to...

And me thinks someone else needs to improve their moral standards in life.

When it comes to childish remarks, what we've had to say about Sackhoff (whose performance like the rest of her fellow thespians was lousy) pales before the disinformation and lies put out by Moore, Eick, Hammer etc. to justify their effort. Moore was the one who when he started production blew...

"Well, I know several people who didn't watch the new Galactica because they thought it was just a remake of "that silly show" and who loved it after I talked them into watching the DVD (which has been released here already)." What that says about their standards of taste from my standpoint...

"Ron Moore is a very competent writer" Not when it comes to Galactica, where he is an incompetent hack getting his jollys by recycling the kind of cliches Galactica refreshingly avoided, and now still incapable of original thoughts for his masterpiece reinvention as he was touting it, is now...

Of course Galactica had its share of bad episodes. But its the strength of the best episodes (the pilot, Lost Planet Of The Gods, Living Legend, War Of The Gods, and most importantly the last episode The Hand Of God) that played the most significant role in developing the show's themes as well...

"Why did Sci-Fi's exec's demand a "total reimagination" of the property? Maybe DeSanto's version, even though it catered to long-time fans, sucked. I wouldn't rule that possibility out. Sci-Fi exec's have proven their stupidity before but, since they've produced more Sci-Fi shows than myself...

My opinion, which I am entitled to, is that those who think Moore's version is great, are ultimately by default those who at best can only say they "liked" the original or saw it as a "guilty pleasure" because their affection can not have been strong enough to want to see the storyline...

James, the botom line for those like me is that if you think that Moore's version is somehow a worthy heir to something with the name "Battlestar Galactica" on it, then whatever affection you have for the original is not sufficient to have wanted to see a true continuation of the storyline we...

"but I also heard that Tom DeSanto wanted a crack at it, among others)." That's an understatement David. DeSanto had written a script and had a continuation set 25 years after the original which was to bring back several cast members for a series project with Fox. Sets were constructed and...

That merely increases the number of people who can consider themselves part of a baffling mystery of life. As far as I'm concerned, those who think Moore's piece of junk is great are people who really haven't much regard for the original to begin with. They are certainly not to be counted...

Considering that the original's enduring popularity with its fanbase has nothing to do with "cheesiness" and everything to do with the solid storytelling, epic premise and the ability of Richard Hatch, Dirk Benedict, Lorne Greene, Herb Jefferson, Anne Lockhart etc. to create likable characters...

I still marvel at the ability of anyone who was a "fan" of the original to see anything redeeming in Ron Moore's version.

Wrong, Sven. The original was a classic work of sci-fi with strong characters, strong stories and it had as good a ratio of great episodes to clunkers as Star Trek did. The key difference is that Star Trek was a formula series which meant stagnant character growth throughout its entire run...

"Why make the exact same show again?" We were weeks away from getting a bona-fide *continuation* which did justice to the whole "next generation" concept. But 9/11 alas and the departure of Bryan Singer killed that whole project. The only thing I want to see is a continuation set in the...

Actually that particular making of set an all time record for egomania and running down of the source material, which in large part explains the animosities that exist between those who made the miniseries and the fans of the original. The total in-your-face disrespect they have for the original...

"The best moment in the Making Of is the beginning of the interview with the actress who plays Starbuck: "Hi, my name is Katee Sackhoff and I play Starbuck. DEAL WITH IT!"" A moment that earned her my eternal hatred.
