• I'm not sure which is scarier: that Bryan Singer wants to make a movie more-or-less (or not) based on a TV series that many critics called the best show on TV, *or* the fact that Variety reports that someone (a studio? a producer?) is set to give him $10 million to make the movie! Why not hire him to make a "Lost" movie or "Desperate Housewives"? Better yet, he should make an "ER" movie since that's another critically acclaimed show that just went off the air. And he should base his movie on the late-80's comedy called "E/R", which also had George Clooney. Anyway, yes, this is yet another sign that Hollywood can't (or more likely, won't) come up with original ideas. Since the finale of BSG had X million of viewers, then why not make a movie? It's got a built-in, guaranteed audience. Throw in some Michael Bay style space-explosions, add some full nude scenes of Tricia Helfer and Grace Park and you've got yourself a $300 million opening weekend. There's no need for characterization or story development- this thing writes itself!

• Welp, varrior, all I heard was "Stardoe" and said Starbuck was "lost in castration". Now, you want to hook me up with some links, I could know what you are talking about. But, truthfully, like I have pointed out, someone takes your role, makes it from this Han Solo type (whom you have called a 'twat', how ironic!) to this crying, drunken, slutty uber-bitch who seemed to fuck up all the time.... Well, gosh, I can't imagine being pissed about that! And my Richard Hatch comment is based on personal experience. He did an unbelievable "fan-snot" moment on me, that he couldn't believe I wasn't going to pay $60 dollars for his gold-plated and gold-ink signed books. And when I got a regular still signed for $20 or $25, he stopped in the middle of the signing and jumped up and hugged and chatted with a person he knew (some biker-looking) and let me stand there for like 5 minutes. When I got home I tossed the still on my table where it gathered dust for months 'cause me made me an ex-fan. I don't give a damn if he was in the new show playing a terrorist that goes legit, he acted true to his name, "Dick". I just hope he's not in the remake movie, I'd hate to see him as much as I loved the original real Apollo...

• Actually, now that I think of it, I could take a better appreciation of the Engrish language when typing. Better to type than typ-o! WOW does my typing suck. (In Shatner/Kirk-like speaking): Must-find-glasses.

• @ varrior: I appreciate your taking the time to write a long winded "I'm a moderator on one of the most prolific BSG forums" piece. Copngrats, your moderatorship. Shall I bow in front of you? And you are right, you are welcome to your ideas and opinions. And some of the points you bring up about these actors and characters is your opinion to love and behold. Not mine. But I look at it differently. I know I'm 38 and you probably couldn't apprecite the 70's. But let's put a different spin on it. Let's get off track and use Star Trek as a different approach to your proposal of a better BSG as it is a perfect example to use. Let's take Star Trek TOS. And Let's take Star Trek TNG. Now, when I first heard of them making a Star Trek series again for TV, I was excited. And then I learned it was going to be a new crew, new Enterprise and further in the future. I was skeptical. After all, it was no longer Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty and Sulu. Now we had Picard, Data, Crusher, LaForge, and Worf. Plus two new chairs on the bridge beside the Captain. I accpeted TNG because it was a whole new series and all new crew set ahead in the future. They didn't take the TOS and replace Kirk with a woman, or Spock with a human. It was a far easier pill to swallow. New adventures set in the future. Now you take BSG TOS and you rewrite every character and replace the original crew with screwed up shit and made the stories far and away what BSG was even about. It was the same crewmembers with so many unforgiveable changes, that it literally took everything from the past BSG and burned it in a pile so they could please a new generation of kids to swallow it hook, line and sinker. Do I have a problem with a female Starbuck? Yes I do! How about Boomer? can you explain that? Can you explain any of the stupid shit that show did? Was BSG now about the origin of the Cylon Centurion instead of a group of humans looking for the fabled planet Earth? I could have liked it with new actors playing their parts in a grittier fashion, but still keeping the legacy that was BSG TOS. These writers and directors have got to stop acting like Andy Warhol's of the film industry and start paying goddamn attention to why the fucking franchises are even still popular with people. I have a better idea. Maybe you can start up a new forum and convince George Lucas to rewrite Star Wars Episodes 4 through 6. Maybe you get him to change up all the important characters. Should be interesting to see Han Solo as a transvestite and Chewbacca a fucking llama that can talk!! Yes, youngun - I AM PISSED!

• I have to say, if they are going to make a movie, I'd rather they based it on the original BSG and left the remake alone. An over-the-top, full-on, 80's-tastic, retro, glittering, disco BSG movie would be ten tons of fun.

• Oh, and comments like these: "But I'm all for giving Starbuck his dick back" "But I couldn't get past things like Starbuck being some butch chick" just strike me as pathetic. Enough of the fucking fixation on the "Starbuck" character's gender. They ended up as different characters altogether. Treat them that way. I could easily say that Dirk Benedict's Starbuck was a moronic, impulsive twat with no brains, but that would be counterproductive.

• So, uh, basically the disconnect here seems to be that the old series fans were unhappy that the new series took liberties. ... which was entirely the point of the series. I don't mind valid criticism of the new BSG, or even the old BSG. I mean, shit, I HATED the finale. HATED HATED HATED it. I'm a moderator on one of the most prolific BSG forums and it pissed me and many others off, because a show that could have achieved greatness decided to piss it all away with Ron Moore's ego taking up the stage. But criticism like "omg it was too dark" or "wow it's so depressing, where's the humor?" is just asinine. OF COURSE the show took itself seriously. It was not Star Trek: TNG. It was not the original series. It set itself apart and made a name for itself by being risky and edgy. So, in effect, the reason a lot of TOS BSG fans watched the new series was because of the title. Despite prior knowledge that the show would be completely different from the original save for the premise. That strikes me of fanboyism and to accuse those who enjoyed the RDM show of fanboyism reeks of insane hypocrisy, because I have seen insults just as bad, if not worse, directed towards the new show. My valid criticism would be that the new series failed to resolve itself properly and ended up wallowing in its own shit after the second season. It also suffered from the Ron Moore Can't Plan Jack Shit Out syndrome, which also ended up making the DS9 finale the ultimate anticlimax. As for the old series, well, I have infinite criticism for that but I'll save it for people who care. It had good points though, and I think, if Bryan Singer can distill the essence of that, he'll be able to produce a good film based off the original. He already had ideas for a sequel to TOS which got shelved b/c of 9/11, so he's not completely devoid of original ideas. And I trust his directing ability. @ Carl - Dirk Benedict also called Katee Sackhoff some pretty derogatory names because she was female and playing his part; nothing to do with the acting, just her gender. I have very little respect for him. Richard Hatch was open minded. I don't know what they're like in person, but Hatch came on the forum where I moderate and took the time to answer our questions during season 4.5. He seems like a far more respectable actor to me. As far as I understand it, he's fan friendly to people who suck up to him, which you clearly did, not to mention he's desperate for a paycheck so he does shitty SyFy Original movies. Yeah, yeah, I know in the end, you'll all just grunt and say "you younguns can like anything"; if that's the case, so be it. I prefer to keep an open mind, which is something one generation older than me is apparently incapable of doing, as evidenced by half of these comments.

• Thanks dark, I felt bad that I put a "your momma" insult. So '70s. Anyway, I saw Dirk Benedict at Megacon last year and I told him how I called the new show, "EMOBSG" and he looked at me and said, "Oh my God, I love that!" I got to see him on Sat or Sun right after he set up his con table and got to talk to him for like 10 or 15 minutes. He is one of the best fan friendly guys I've ever met. But, don't get me started on Richard Hatch, oy...

• On Starbuck: FRANKS n' BEANS! FRANKS n' BEANS!

• I didn't care for the reboot (not a fan of sympathizing with genocidal terrorists, which is exactly what the Cylons were). Too damn whackadoodle new-age Hollywood for me. The original series was goofy and sometimes childish, but man do I wish the idea of the good guys being good guys and the bad guys being bad guys, instead of where the new series was going. Call me old, out of touch, whatever. But I'm all for giving Starbuck his dick back and the Cylons and Baltar being 100% villians. And hopefully the possible movie won't carry over the idea of robot spies from the rebooted tv show. I hated that.

• @ Carl: Hey man, I didn't take any offense at what you wrote. I wasn't making fun of you personally. I was just laughing at how we fans of the old show are taking the nasty stance that the fans of the new show are doing. No biggie. I as kinda dirty about it too. I know where you're coming from. I just like to laugh at myself once in awhile. I feel your hatred for the new show. But what has happened to BSG has happened. And I do agree with others when they say "How do you rewrite everything 20 times and still get something that resembles BSG in the end?" None the less, I am still a big fan of the 70's show with Dirk Benedict, Richard Hatch and Lorne Greene. Richard Hatch had approached the idea of revisiting Galactica a few years back and it was well conceived. His books were well written as well. It looked and felt like BSG, only a little grittier. That's is all I ask of BSG is that it be the same characters and ideals as the old show, but just a little grittier. That does not include adding cancer and any of today's political issues into it. And please, please DO NOT MAKE CYLONS WOMEN AND UGLY ROBOTS. And please DO NOT MAKE STARBUCK A WOMAN!!!! In fact, the history of Starbuck is that he actually got seperated from the fleet, shot down by a Cylon who also crashed on the same planet as he did and he actually reprogrammed the Cylon to be friendly. And that is where he stayed for the rest of his natural life.

• Yeah, that was over the top, apologies in advance to dakmagician66699, if we can strike that post please do. But I said I didn't like the show originally, pointed out what upset me about and was met with universal disdain and hatred again and again. Imagine some one steals your beloved classic car, chops it to pieces, then you see it again, try to recover it and people that like the new version of the car tell you have no right to it, so get lost. That is not right at all...

• dakmagician66699 said: Ya know what's funny? How defensive us guys who love the old show from the 70's have just gotten. What passion. What spunk. Now where's my Geritol? --------------- Funny, that's what your mommy said, except it was, "Mmmmm, what spunk!" Anyway, my hostility was a return fire from the total asswipes that told me I had no right to still enjoy the original show nor show descent about the new "reimagining" bullshit. In the words of one jihadist, I mean, "fan", he said, "The new show makes that old thing look like a POS and Lorne Green looks like a wimpy old fag next to James Olmos's REAL Adama!" So, how would you like me to react? And oh yes, when I made points about how EMOBSG looked like 9/11 and current (at the time) awful government under the odious Bill Clinton at the Sissy-fied Channel, my comment threads were closed and then later erased. You know, no allowing of the goring of the sacred cash cow, right?

• Lets get real here. Season 1 of BSG was great. Season 2 was good. Everything after that sucked. It got mired in retarded politics that made absolutely no logical sense, and the characters did one thing after another to be utterly unlikable and boring.

• Ya know what's funny? How defensive us guys who love the old show from the 70's have just gotten. What passion. What spunk. Now where's my Geritol?

• Yeah, I misspelled Cylon, so sue me EMOBSGers...

• Singer had the rights first and then they expired and The Sissy-fied Channel went with Ronald Moron's "deballification" soap opera. What's wrong with this picture? Emos and wimps love this shit pretending to be a science fiction series and shows how awful, self-absorbed twits can be heroes too! You just have to force them to do it! Yeah and that's right, my hatred of this POS show will never die and if you don't like it pansies, my love for you: "suck it, Cyclon hooker"... BSG 1978 FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

• After "Superman Returns"...I can't see how Singer has any clout to claim whats the best direction for an IP. To say nothing of the fact that, as mentioned, the show has been reimagined already...to much critical acclaim. Does Singer not have a television?!

• Is there any way possible we could put a Rob Liefield spin on this subject of BSG?! It would be so much more entertaining. Just sayin'.

• As much as us old fuddy-duds are not in the majority, I gotta give it up for my homies for stickin' to their guns. I see both sides to this argument, I really do. It's just that...well...we're right and you're....well....you're wrong! I really didn't want to have to poke a finger in someone's eye or even their anus, but there ya go. We're right and your wrong. Now dems is some fightin' words. Now which one of ya is gonna be a lady and slap me across the face?! It's clobberin' time down here on Yancy Street! LOL!! (Just stirring up trouble here!)

• I'm in agreement with darkmagician66699, Dr. Rotwang and TrapJaw. I'm also 38 years old and so consequently old enough to fondly remember the original. When Moore's BSG was first getting started, I was all for it initially as I was gald for the show being back on TV in some form. But as time went by, the more I became dissatisfied with it and it was less the space opera I knew and loved and became more and more wrapped-up in post 9/11 symbolism. I personally don't mind when they make historical parallels in science fiction and in fact I enjoy it (to wit, Babylon 5). But it felt to me like it was going out of its way to be topical. They pretty much did everything short of holding up a big sign saying "Hey! This is 9/11!" or "Hey! This is Abu Ghraib!" or "Hey! This is the occupation of Iraq!" It wasn't very subtle. And I hate to use a tired phrase, but also I really did feel it was "too soon." I also thought it was too bleak and depressing for my tastes. TrapJaw's views pretty much hit it on the head. I'd like to add that until Moore's BSG, I've never watched a TV show that made me feel so depressed that I wanted to slit my wrists after watching each and every episode. There was just no humor to balance out all the drama. I know Moore's intention was to acknowledge that a show that deals with the near-extermination of human civilization is an inherently dark one, but I thought he took it way too far. After the first few seasons, I realised how much I missed certain aspects of the original. I missed the fully robotic Cylons who spoke in the cool voices that said "By your command." I missed the aliens, the Imperious Leader, the Ship of Lights, Count Iblis, the Ancient Astronauts angle and even the Mormon undertones. And while the Ancient Astronauts and the Seraphs were present in some form towards the end, it was really, really downplayed. And while all those things might have been corny and cheesy as hell, those were things that I realized I enjoyed the original for. The interesting thing that I'm surprised no one's mentioned here yet was that Singer and Universal were actually all set to do a Galactica revival as far back as 1999. Then 9/11 happened and it was decided that doing a space fantasy that was seen as lighthearted and escapist wouldn't have been appropriate at that time. Ironically, that's when Moore came along and decided to play the 9/11 angle up to the hilt. So really Singer's version came first. After reading what Singer had proposed, I was sad that his version didn't get made. So I'm glad now with this news that we'll see it and we'll get a BSG that's closer to its original roots.

• @ Matt: Thank you Matt. Nice to see someone finally sticking up for this senile old fart! I guess it's like Trekkers: people like me love TOS and other people say "No, that sucks and it's cheesy. TNG rulez!" Hmmmm....I wonder if there's a Star Trek TITS version? Oh wait - that was Seven of Nine!

• Agree with DarkMagician, the new Battlestar can piss up a rope. Original version rules all.

• How did Glen Larson lose rights to his creation?

• BSG is THE most overrated television show in 30 years. For most people the new RDM's BSG is a drab confusing soap opera with more than a few plot holes. It was never any more popular than other first run dramas on Sci-fi (Reruns of Enterprise on Sci-fi got the same or better ratings than most of BSG's run). Universal just hyped it to Hell and back.

• @ Cyn: I dunno. Probably the same reason why George Lucas subjected us all to Star Wars Episodes 1 through 3. And he doesn't just stop there. We get fucking CGI animated shit, cartoons on Cartoon Network, video games. Jesus, you'd think he had forgotten all about Luke, Han, Chewie and Leia and how they helped blow up Death Star #2 along with those hairy rodents on Endor. And he totally forgot about Wedge! Wedge was the biggest hero that day - after Han and Chewie lowered the shields of course. Fuck Episodes 1-3. I wanna know what happened afterwards. I mean, I kinda know from the novels and all, but shit, put that on film. Let's see a darker Luke and those gifted kids of Han and Leia. Let's see the Empire try to compose itself and pick up the pieces for one last HURRAH!!! Sorry, got off topic. But you get where I was coming from, right?

• Gah! The most recent BSG tv series and plot was genius! Why mess up a good thing? Why try to re-imagine something that is already awesome? How will they ever assemble a cast as brilliant as Olmos, etc?

• Wouldn't the joke be on all of us if they just cleaned up the original footage of the movie that came out after the first 3 or 4 episodes aired on ABC in the late 70's? Digitally enhanced like Lucas did with Star Wars 4-6 because they were starting to rot in their cans? Wouldn't that just fuck with everyone's minds? Speaking of minds, I think mine was just taken over by an Ovion!

• OK, I was going to wait to announce this, but the cat's half out of the bag anyway, so here goes... ...I will be producing a remake of Bryan Singer's "Battlestar Galactica" re-envisioning. My version will be a total shake-up of whatever Singer decides to do with BSG, but I'm hoping to fast-track my film and get it out before Singer has a chance to put his deal together. It will be tricky, but I think it's important to not let the SciFi series' body cool completely before I cut it open and wear it like a fancy suit. Maybe we'll release it right after "The Plan".

• Why make a movie? Just make another series that has the same premise and the same actors, but this time leave out all the religious nonsense and baffling plot twists that ruined the show. I'd watch it through to the end.

• I just wanna chime in here about the three remakes/re-imaginings of H.G.Well's War of the Worlds. Yes, three. Yes... no, I'm not high. There was the theatrical one with Tom Cruise, and then two straight to DVD releases... all within the same month. I'll wait till you're cognitive reasoning skills reboot themselves. Just one more second.... reheating a pretzel in the interum. -ding- Ah, hot, salty goodness. Where was I? Oh yes... people are bat shit insane, some of them get large sums of money and popular concepts to use while they are OUT OF THEIR FUCKING MINDS. A BSG REMAKE FILM THIS SOON? WHAT THE HELL?!??!? AAAUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!

• In this version, Commander Adama returns to Earth to discover he's had a kid by some reporter, and leaves them all at the end to be taken care of by the much more capable James Marsden

• I'm going to throw my lot in with those who don't think this is a terrible idea. I'm not a huge fan of the original series,--it's incredibly cheesy; I nearly gave up on the pilot once they got to Vegas... IN SPAAAAAACE!--but I do like the concept. I think the Sci-Fi Channel series was pretty great, but it was a very different interpretation. I'm interested to see what Bryan Singer does with a version that's more faithful towards the original property. And I find it interesting how it often seems that one movie can turn the fan community against a filmmaker who has an otherwise impressive resume. It's as if Superman Returns (which I actually enjoyed) somehow negates The Usual Suspects and the first two X-Men films. (To be honest, he'd get a lifetime pass from me for X2 alone.)

• Wierd. I get the distinct impression I might be one of the few people out here who liked the ending of the Moore's series (Starbuck disappearing not withstanding - my only real gripe). I just think this is a bad idea. Now, if Singer took the original BSG, disregarded Moore's reimagining - and reimagining in general, and did a movie that picked up 30 years after BSG ended....then I'd be interested. I don't care if it confused the general public. I'm not the general public so I don't really care about their opinion. I liked the reimagined BSG, and I feel it deserves some shelf life time before we tread there again.

• Like darkmagician66699 and Dr Rotwang, I'm an old school fan of old school Battlestar Galactica. I tried many times to watch the new BSG, but the show had more angst than Batman finding himself buried alive in Jason Todd's grave. It took itself so seriously that it was really hard for me to swallow. Boozing,cancer That being said, if the new Singer project is a continuation of his previous effort at making something in the old vein of the cheesy 70's BSG, I will be both overjoyed and confused as hell. Overjoyed at the notion of possibly getting a new sci-fi movie in the similar in tone to the Flash Gordon or the OG Star Wars Trilogy and confused at what the studio is thinking believing that going this route won't confuse/upset/outrage fans of the new BSG, whom I imagine vastly outnumber those of us who are fans of the original BSG.

• I just get this feeling we're coming into a new period in pop-culture where everything is James Bonded or Batmanned - re-imagined by different creative teams regularly, but moreso, so that various incarnations are running at once - like comic continuity and TV continuity and movie continuities already do, but with more obviously different visions. Hell, if that did happen it might even be fun, like one big multifaceted big-budget fanfic wank forever.

• Hell, I *want* them to disregard the recent series, because that ending pissed on the fans. Start over. Ignore Moore's waste of time which was once great but ended on such a sour note that I would LOVE the chance to mindbleach it away. Bring it on, Singer.

• battlestar galactica was good for one season and then it became soap opera trash

• I prefer Space Opera BSG over Grown-Up Adult BSG With Sex And Cancer.

• @darkmagician66699 The older I get, the less set in my ways I'm becoming. I too have fears that this is approaching senility. "They're remaking battlestar? I don't remember what that is, but I look forward to watching anything science fiction!"

• Bryan Singer can probably make a great BSG film, I don't doubt that. But the reboot decision is exceptionally confusing, especially in this case. I could understand if perhaps the rebooted television program had been sub-par (or flat out awful) but it <i>wasn't.</i> It just seems like a lot of extra hoops to jump through for something that already has an established cast and fanbase going for it.

• JeremyA said: There are multiple people that enjoyed the new Star Trek movie. That still blows my mind. No disrespect here, but why do you find that so odd?

• It'd be pretty hypocritical of me to hate on a remake of BSG, since I liked Moore's so much (barring that awful last half of the last episode) but this does seem kind of weird.

• &#64; EVula: I know, that's what everyone keeps telling me. I notice that the older I get, the more set in my ways I become. And the older something gets, the more classic and liked it becomes for me. Signs of senility are setting in for me, i think.

• This is a load of horse shit. The reimagined series was fantastic (darkmagician66699, you really should give it a shot), so why the hell are they *re*redoing the series?

• There are multiple people that enjoyed the new Star Trek movie. That still blows my mind.

• I wonder if it's possible to remake something enough times that it just phases out of existance in a puff of meta fumes.

• <blockquote>Besides, isn't there a law against making a remake of something that's been remade already in the last five years or so? 10 years if it's considered popular and successful?</blockquote> <a href="http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/05/sweet_evil_flying_jesus_theyre_remaking_buffy_the.php">What?</a>

• I am kinda torn. While I love Brian Singer's work and think he would be a good person to do something like this.... I am such a huge fan of the remake that I don't want to see it messed with. I think it is way too soon.... the Star Trek reboot worked because it was years after the previous movie.

• Hey! I got a GREAT idea! Let's Reboot the Batman movie franchise again! You know, tell the story of how he became Batman and make it all campy this time, as an homage to the Adam West TV shows, and <i>his</i> fans! Because every single niche needs to be explored!

• I hope universal hires Ronald D. Moore to "update a classic for a modern audience while remaining true to the original vision" just as Singers BSG enters post-production. All this happened before, and all this will happen again. Also, District 9 today bitches!

• Uhhh.. Bryan... Superman Returns 2... and either do something interesting with the kid or get rid of him...

• I think the lot of us fans of these franchises are getting so gun-shy over these new versions of movies, that we jump on them before we even get to see the final product. I hear people saying the new GI Joe movie was not bad while others are saying for the most part that Transformers 2 was terrible. I saw Transformers 1 and hated it. I couldn't tell their faces from their asses and just thought it was a big pile of special effects. I could have cared less if Optimus Prime would bite it in the movie unlike the sadness felt in the animated movie. I also watched a streamed version of GI Joe and couldn't get past the 30 minute mark, I thought it was that bad. Again, just my opinion. On the other hand, I heard people and critics alike being very skeptical of the new Star Trek reboot and it turned out awesome in my opinion. I thought the Watchmen was a great piece of film while others felt it was too close to being like the graphic novel. Nobody complained that the Lord of the Rings movies were pretty damn close to the novels. The LOTR movies are, in my opinion, just as classic as Gone With the Wind and are landmarks in film production. I am starting to begin to think that some minor changes to update a franchise aren't all bad - reference Star Trek reboot. But we can't just write something off completely until we see the final product. If anyone wants to rip me for my thoughts here, go right ahead and have a field day. It's just one man's opinion.

• Ok, that's new. Holywood is getting really really low on ideas, isn't? They remade every second movie from the last 50 years. They then started to base movies on comic books, toys, 80's kid's cartoons and even a Disneyworld ride. Soon they'd be making movies based on breakfast cereals. For heaven's sake, they are remaking remakes now? Someone remake the new Star Wars trilogy. I'd actually pay to see that happen.

• Singer is the best person to put on a project like this, I mean look at how great of a job he did on Superman? I mean years of back sotry and established movies and cartoon and he gives us somthing so close to perfect it is not funny. Wait or did he make the movie where Superman is a deadbeat Dad who gets drunk in a deleated scene and has Cyclops raising his kid while he stalks his ex?

• this just proves that if something is a hit holllywood will not let it die they will mlik into into the ground that and brian is proably doing this since he can not get the okay to do a remake of Logan's run

• I have similar fears about the rumored Doctor Who movie. I hope it never happens.

• This actually a smart move. To make a big-budget feature film to broaden the appeal, kind of how non-nerds could appreciate Star Trek for being a great movie while the fans were pleased that it was a great Star Trek movie. The fans of both the old and new BSG will go and see this movie either way, as well as the casual movie-goer who wouldn't give a rats ass about a BSG movie based on the TV-series, ergo me who never watched neither of the two shows. Lastly, is this movie is a good sci-fi flick that gains the praise of both viewers and critiques alike, the BSG will get a lot of new fans, who probably will check out the original sources. Besides, Bryan Singer is a good director, I'm confident he can make an interesting movie.

• Call me a whack-job for saying this as I know there are a lot of loyal fans of the newer BG, but I actually prefer the old original series better. Minus "Galactiga 1980". That was just terrible. I tried to like the newer series, I really did. But I couldn't get past things like Starbuck being some butch chick and some of the other character changes. I hated the workup about the Cylons. I dunno, maybe I never gave it a chance because I'm an old fart at 38. But then I love the old Star Trek TOS and Enterprise TV series better than any of the other Trek series like TNG and Voyager. But the new Star Trek reboot movie was awesome! Again, just an old fart who's farting out the wrong end.
