Besides that was a joke about being a Star Wars fan mav be you are to young to remember the good natured feud between Star Wars fans and Trek fans back in the 70s. I was playing homage to that. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> You know I have watched so many of the shows I enjoy made into movies or reboot TV series and most of them have just sucked. Mission Impossible 1 they make Phelps the bad guy. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> Starsky and Hutch was just stupid. Red Dwarf the american version, Coupling the american version  :\  I am such a trek fan that I a pain in the butt kind. I know canon and it bugs me when they make major changes Morrus posted on CM the SAG report of what they are looking for in actors and some of it makes me go huh. First of all the main characters are going to be around the same age. About mid 20 early 30s. My problem with that is both Bones and Scotty were older and had a history because of that. They describe Bones as danger seeker.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> Uhura needs to be a playful tomboy instead of the classy lady she was. Kirk was special because he was the youngest captain in Starfleet well now he is joined by the youngest chief medical officer , youngest head engineer. What 's wrong there are no actors in their middle 30s early 40s who would like to be in Trek? Or did a plague wipe out all the older people in the Trek Universe so its left to the younguns to run the ship.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> Stuff like this makes me just go okay not sounding like something that will interest me so I am going to take a wait and see attidue.As a member of one of the longest running BSG club formed way back in 1978 I was very disappointed that they went with a reimagining of the show. I have read the script of the reboot and it was great. It took the show in a darker direction was also going to be going with a different type of cylon a human/cylon cyborg. We would have goten to see how the characters had evolved after 20 years. Tigh was supposed to be a harder worn out Commander of the Galactica, Apollo had been missing for years, The colonist had given up looking for earth and had settles against the military's advice on a planet leaving the Glactica in orbit to protect them but slowly over time not giving them the material and supplies they needed to be kept first rate. Then the new hybrids show up.It does not matter that I watch and enjoy the new BSG that is the one I would rather have been watching.As for bitching and speculating on an internet board about something new coming out its what fans do. Just look at all the 4E threads.   <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /></blockquote>
