Don't get me wrong, the "Galactica" reboot was VERY well done... excellent visuals and scriptwriting...it just wasn't what I wanted to see. I'm too attached to that cheesy-but-great original 1970s version.
Call me an idiot, a retard or just plain slow but I didn't know that that the newer series was a remake.
You shittin' me Wes? You didn't know there was an "old" Battlestar Galactica? Ran on ABC for about a year and a half, two years starting in '78. I was eight years old at the time and it BLEW MY F*CKING MIND. Loved it, loved it, LOVED IT! I had action figures, comic books, paperbacks, anything I could get my hands on that was related to the show. I believe I may have cried when it was cancelled.
I am still trying to figure out how to swing buying the DVD set of the entire original series (housed in a case shaped like a Cylon Centurian's helmet) without my wife finding it and stapling my nuts to my forehead when she finds out how much it cost...
I must admit to loving the original series as well...it was no Star Wars which is where it got it's inspiration but it was the best and I think only SciFi show on at that time.....it is rather hard to watch today though considering how hokey it looks....
