[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 1262390, member: 8704"] Actually none of my remarks were tainted by nostalgia, the old show was good for a 70's show, but it was definatly a 70's show. The things I didn't like I wouldn't of liked even if this show had nothing to do with the Battlestar Galactica property and the things I did like I'd of liked in any show too. I've watched the first episode twice now and the second episode three times in a row (I'm watching it right now), good grief I don't think there is any more of a chance I can give this show but I just can't bring myself to like it. As far as the fanbase goes it is bigger than you think. There has been a Battlestar Galactica revival movement going on for some time now and there have been Battlestar Galactica fan conventions. Richard Hatch made a trailer for a Galactica project he was trying to do and went around building up support, Glen Larson has also been trying to get a Galactica project together too. There was also a Bryan Singer and Tom DeSanto project at one time too. That's why there is so much hostility from this fanbase about the new show, they did a lot of work and put a lot of effort into getting a buzz going about a Galactica revival then they got a show where they were told that if you were a fan of the original show then this isn't for you (statement by Edward James Olmos). Oh and then you get to catch flack like this: Yes actually being a fan of the old show makes you closed minded and stupid. What does a actual fan of a show know about why they are a fan of the show to start with? Fans of the old show are incapable of open thought or making up their own minds they should take what is given and be thankful for it. [b]No freaking wonder they are not real happy with all of this? [/b]First they work to get a show they like brought back, then they get a show that is nothing like what they wanted, then they get insulted for actually having a opinion on the matter at all.
