(sort of like the Ford Pinto and my lower back <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> ) As far as the new one goes I'm just getting tired of all the quotes I see from the producers where they basically say "were making all sci fi better here and if you don't get it that's your fault." That may not be what they are meaning to say but that's the way the quotes are sounding, they seem to be very defensive to the criticism they are getting and come accross as very arrogant in interviews (and to some extents even in the Lowdown special). They had to expect some flack with all the changes they made and lets face it in general remakes normally have a big hill to get over with the original audience. They would of been better served if they had changed the character names, changed some of the ship designs and called it something else. It will get lots of flack just because it's called Battlestar Galactica, the core fans of the show have a preconcieved notion of what the show was and should be that they will have to overcome. Were they suprised with all the flack they got for the changes they made? Sci Fi fans are a fickle and unforgiving bunch (just ask George Lucas <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> ).</blockquote>
