70s BSG for me, thank you.

"There are those who believe...that life here began out there, far across the Universe...with tribes of humans..."

But when the Romulans show up in their K-Wings and Shadowcasters, it's going to throw off the whole game!

Has anyone seen a blue phone box floating around?

Well, a TARDIS would be OP as ****

I KNOW RIGHT...

Ah, I got it.

13th has to be something to do with the 13th tribe from BSG, since that is what was being talked about.

Serveras was supposed to be "server as", as in, a clan in the mmo was playing as cylons and dominating one of the servers.

Still not quite sure what the federation comment was meant to be about, I assume something Star Trek ish

I forgot what the actual name of the Human organization was. I didn't really care for BSG 70's or remake like I do Stargate or Farscape.

i was never a BGS fan, 70s or remake. My dad used to watch the 70s crap all the time and the fact that it was cut off and never finished the story (plus the bad 70s acting) really bugged me.

Babylon 5, on the other hand, i could get down with.

Now that I think about it, Stargate would probably work quite well as an Imperial Assault style game.

I was never that bothered about the original series, but the film (at the cinema) was really something!

You have to realise that after Ep IV, there were many of us chomping at the bit for more, and BSG satisfied that a little...yes, the fighter v fighter combat and effects weren't really in the same league, but the Galactica came pretty **** close to the ISD, and that carrier hangar-bay/launch-tube pods design idea was, I think, inspired...and the Sensurround REALLY was dramatic...

...so, yes, I enjoyed it so much that when, about 7-8yrs later, I got the chance to buy a Tektronix vector-graphics terminal as used on the show, the bl**dy great thing sat at the end of my bed for several years with programs (stored on enormous tape cartridges) to draw various SW/BSG spacecraft and other such (like "Airwolf", )

Love the remake. Probably my favorite tv show of all time. For sure favorite live action show.

Never really watched the original much. Just seemed too campy.

Did you guys notice? We can play Battlestar Galactica now... kinda!

To be fair, it was Star Wars that influenced the creators of Battlestar Galactica and not the other way around.

I've always been very fond of the original BSG. Yeah, it's really campy now, but they did a great job of world building.

The remake was horrible though. They totally ignored the stuff that made the original enjoyable and turned it into a soap opera that the creates were just making up from week to week.

G1A's can be the Raptors!

Yep, gotta agree with you there. I could have got into the remake, but the "shaky" camera shots with the power zooming during the space battle scenes just made the whole thing unwatchable. I absolutely loath that style of so-called "realistic" cinematography. That and the fact that there were mystery humans that were Cylons, humans that didn't know they were Cylons. A pretty sad plot spin to try and keep the audience guessing that turned it into a soap opera.

In the old series, a toaster was a toaster, and none of the heroes were toasters. They should have stuck to that. It worked.

Don't forget the awful punch-out "Everybody's a Cyclon" ending. The last season of that show was just a wreck. I didn't even originally watch the second half of it. I only caught back up later after my buddy insisted I finish it.

Grace Park's acting is really turned me off to the show, too. Or at least what she tried to pass off as acting. Her character carried way too much of that show's story for her to be portrayed so woodenly. Olmos was great, as were Baltar and Six. The rest of the performances were "Eh". Didn't like Katee Sackhoff. Didn't carry anywhere near the charm that Dirk Benedict brought to the role of Starbuck, which in turn made the dynamic between her and Apollo not work as well either.

I wanted to like the new BSG, but it just didn't hold up past the second season. The writers strike helped kill that show.

Magic robot baby blood cures cancer.....

Film at 11.

I actually liked Katee as Starbuck. I thought she really nailed the character. It was Apollo who was wooden and impossible to watch. Could never actually figure out what his point on the show was.

There was a point about half way through the series when I had a revelation. I thought "WTF.... That makes no sense at all. Wait a minute... This could be the start of the set up for "this" storyline from the original series... And they have already done this and this. What if they actually are remaking the original stories, just so highly processed that you can't recognize them? That would mean we're building up to this story line, and then this, and then they might be able to tie all these elements together in the greatest climax in sci fi history. It would be so awesome if that's what they're trying to do."

And then they didn't.

Bleh. It got high marks early one for its "grown-upness" but when Starbuck slept with Baltar, that was it. My girlfriend declared it a space soap and BSG was dead to us. (I watched into season 2 on my own but then gave up)

Prime example of the darker, grittier reboot just being a coverup for inability to write a good story and characters.

I'm one of the mean-ole-meanies too... it was a soap with lazzy sex and less battle-action, and that is why it was so popular with the masses of moo-moos out there on cable networks...

All one has to do when comparing BSGs is listen to the opening theme of the original. Epic epicness on an epically epic scale.

Case closed.

That about sums it up. Old BSG was about humanity at its best, Nu BSG was humanity at its worst and self-blaming navel gazing.

AGREED! I have to say both shows are full of awesome... it is a matter of taste as to which you love. I am a fan of both, but if I had to live in one or the other it would be the original series. The good guys could be trusted most of the time to actually be good. The new series was all over the emotional map... kinda like our crazy ass social wackies today.

I live way up in the mountains in a lovely little valley, rather than in a cramped dirty city for reasons. Very Good Reasons... yeah!

I've always wondered that if the reimagined BSG had been named anything but BSG and was a unique sci fi franchise...would anyone have cared about it at all?

Oh, and if BSG redo hadn't been a hit would Stargate Universe had still looked like a carbon copy? And would it have still sucked?
