[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 1262467, member: 7394"] Ever hear of a little show called Enterprise? Doesn't the temporal cold war pretty much make much of the history we think we know inaccurate? I feel like I'm on an episode of Point/Counterpoint. Regardless, I felt that the miniseries was excellent on virtually all levels. No, this is not the same show I watched and loved as a kid. Heck, even with this re-imagining, I still love the original. But this show has the potential to be a great scifi. And despite the dysfunctionality of the characters, they were still the same characters. Despite his whining, Apollo was still courageous, heroic, and likable. Despite being female, Starbuck was still a rogue who talks too much and takes too many chances. [spoiler]OK, I take that back, Boomer is definitely not the same.[/spoiler] Anyway, this had just the right amount of space combat, grit, and humanity to make me come back for the series. I think it has the potential to be the best scifi TV series ever made. I don't say that lightly since I currently consider B5 to be the ultimate space opera ever shown on television. Regardless, no one who knows anything about BSG will argue that Richard Hatch and a handfull of fans are probably responsible for creating interest in the franchise again. The problem is that it all comes back to business. If you make a show for the original fans, you will lose money. At 25 years after the original, the only way to get the ratings you need for a show like this is to go after a new fan base and try to take the majority of the old fans with you. You have to make it for a modern audience and you have to take into account that we have a better idea now of how computer technology should work than we did back in the '70s. I think that this series succeeds on all fronts. I suspect that the ratings were good enough for this to go to series, so the question now is where this show will take us. Anyway at this point the whole question is thumbs up or thumbs down. I give it thumbs up. [/QUOTE]
