[Iansidious]

Mom kept telling me but I didn't belive her. *eating my words* She was right. A new Battlestar Galactia series is coming to sci-fi channel in 2005. galacticablog

We shall see if the show will be any good. And it's cool to be the first one to be the news to you all. slowpokes

Mom was kind enough to let eat my words with a little salt(she really put salt on my tongue!). AHHHHHHHHHHHH! OK mom you where right! She's nagging me .

Sounds interesting...

Prepares to start a debate thread

I haven't seen that much of the original BSG (I'm only 17 guys ) Just the odd episode but i saw the other mini-series (the remake, 2002/2003???) of it thats been showing around on Sattelite television and i have to say it wasn't half bad...

And i just looked at the site and it looks like a continuation from the film/mini-series/whatever (We'll call it a film because it was about 3 hours long) so i personally think this won't be that bad...

I wait for the people who saw the original and then saw the remake and are about to hijack the topic completely

17 myself and have not see much of the orignal show. So us youthful ones might like it more because we wont notice the changes from the first series. I still have a problem with a woman Starbuck though.

Are they going to bring back that group of super kids and their cool scout leaders with the flying bikes?

i saw theorigal and enjoyed it quite a it however it always was a little on the hokey side but quite enjoyable
i find this new Version the movie to be much better and yet still maintaining a nice link back to the original sseries
also the updating of the tech of the cylons is great though i belive ty need a little more influence from a truly sneaky human wih an understnding of what can be done with ttechnology

I was a fan of the original BSG series and I watched the remake and I've very impressed with Ron Moore's work with it.

Just noticed this for all You UK BSG Fans.

Today on Channel 5 a show called Galactica 1980 is on at 3:20pm. The description goes as follows.

"Made-for-tv where a bunch of spacefaring earthlings finally find the planet they've been searching for decades."

I'm know I'm too late for this, but the love of God, don't ever see Galactic 1980. That was the worse spin-off of any show ever created by man. The only original cast member was Lorne Greene, and he must have been on contract, because I don't think he ever looked too happy. Stick to the original, or for you younger generation, the new series.

Speaking of the new series, I liked it. Even though I had to get used to a female Starbuck, I thought it was a pretty good re-telling of the original saga. I noticed the cast was more PC; almost of the original male roles were recast as females. They still kept Apollo as Adama's son, but that was about it. Starbuck and Boomer were recast as females. No mention of an Adama daughter, either. I even liked Baltar, who was more of an accidental traitor than one who sold out the human race. Heck, if the Cylon's all looked like that girl, I'd turn traitor too. I knew a new series was coming out, I just didnt' know when. Can't wait to see it.
