I watched the proposed Time Tunnel reboot for the second time recently and found myself less impressed than I was the first time because on the second viewing I realized I had misunderstood something from my first viewing. There was evidently no way to fix what had been changed, only to...
That's fine by me, though I doubt the tone would be dissimilar to what's gone on here already. The bad blood and bad feeling that exists between the two fanbases has been a fact of life for years and I see little hope for that ever changing. That's my final comment here.
Maybe I should introduce you to the many Galactica fan forums and fan circles I've been a part of for more than 15 years and you'd then discover that not one person in those groups are part of them for reasons having anything to do with 'camp' or nostalgia. It has to do with enjoyment of a...
Actually in TOS, Starbuck rather quickly over the course of the season turned into a relative monogamist with one steady girlfriend (Cassiopeia). Those who think of him as a perpetual "space Casanova" the whole time, again reveal more about how little they actually know about the original...
Using names of ships, or characters radically altered from how they were in the original (and I could smell the device of turning Commander Cain into a female right from the outset, in keeping with Moore's PC philosophy) is nothing. That's why the show is called Galactica In Name Only by the...
THe only reason why Universal felt the property was worth bringing back was because of the efforts of the loyal fanbase of the original, who only wanted to see closure to the original series, and who were cruelly gypped at the last minute when the Tom DeSanto continuation project was halted, and...
The simple way for the discussion to end is for the fans of the other show to quit succumbing to this incessant urge to run down the original show with mostly inaccurate information about it, and insult the fanbase of the original show for preferring it. That is chiefly the reason why so much...
But there's one other thing to add to the subtext regarding why the Cylons in the original series could not be viewed through shades of grey. In "War Of The Gods" we in effect learned that the robot Cylons who had fought the thousand yahren war against humanity were in effect the creation of...
Actually, I'd say it was a lot more politically correct on the part of GINO to (1) take the two most traditional old style male warriors of the original, Starbuck and Commander Cain, and then purposefully make them butch females and (2) to take the character of Colonel Tigh and NOT make him a...
That's utter nonsense regarding why the original series, of which I am a proud fan of, is still fondly remembered. FIrst off, it was not a "rip off" of SW. That is George Lucas disinformation caused by a lawsuit he filed that was dismissed as being totally without merit. Second, the...
