Battlestar Galactica

When they announced that the cylons were no longer robots and worse still, Starbuck is now a woman I decided not to bother. The original recipe was fine if cheesy - all they had to do was update things not mess up the baddies and put one of the major character through a sex change. I shudder to think of what would be done to Buck Rogers if they got their hands on that series.

Hearing is believing

But Yeldarb, it's so much better.

I have to admit I thought the original was pretty poor; I even preferred Buck Rodgers - at least he had a sexy nemesis.

Whatever you think of the new one, you can't fault the acting or effects - I like the plot too - it's very comtemporary.

Maybe they should have called it something else? People have these nostalgic attachments to old crap . I have a feeling thet the new Dr Who may share the same (garyi'll'y cynical) fate.

PS You still get the Cylon robots - except they are much better and much more scary.

A diversion.

You can already see the dead hand of the TV Network Suit. Cruise liner captured by cylons. Cruise liner reappears with a couple of nukes on board heading towards the fleet. Our brave fighter pilots look through the portholes and see _nobody there_. They blow up the ship up and feel really bad about it. You can bet the original scene had frantic passengers waving through the windows. Sanitised made-for-TV crap. I'll probaly still watch it though .

Utter garbage compared to the original.
No Patrick McNee - no chance.

You are all mad.

I'm off back to my castle in the air.

- I guess it'll make bath time a bit more interesting, and I wont get those looks when I go dress shopping. Does anyone know how this will affect my passport?
