If next generation got flack, just imagine how much flack it would of gotten if Picard was called Kirk, Data was called Spock, Worf was called Uhura, Riker was called Sulu, Dr Whatshername was called Mrs Bones and they were a reimagining of the first Star Trek, which no longer existed in the Star Trek world. That's pretty much what they have done with Galactica, they have changed the fundamental nature of the show, the new characters share very little with the old characters except for names and positions (and they changed most of their names to callsigns), the villians are complety different (change name of the borg to the klingon), the ships are different (as different as OG trek Enterprise to next gen trek Enterprise), and the feel of the show is different. Then tell all the fans of the original Star Trek that it was a 60's show so it wouldn't translate to the 80's, so it had to be completly reimagined or nobody would watch it (the Star Trek movies were updated and translated real well, as a continuation story with the original cast, but that wouldn't work for Battlestar Galactica?). Gee think there would of been a few people a little ticked? The new Galactica show has gotten off pretty light (Next Generation was a good show but if you make the changes I did and call it a reimaging then it would of been lucky to make it through the first season). That's why there is such a polarization here, the changes were so drastic and there were lots of people with strong feelings about the first series. So instead of saying the acting seemed flat can I say that Starbuck was a little on the chunky side?<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" /> How about that I had a hard time buying the fact that Colonial Tigh was a vertabrate (or a actual drunk either) or that it should of been obvious that Boomer was a [SPOILER]soulless robot devoid of true emotion [/SPOILER]just by the characters interaction with other characters <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Have you seen Wayne's World 2, I like the part where Charton Heston plays "the good actor". <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" /> Yea I'm being a real jerk but It's finals week and I'm pulling my hair out (I got a Ventilation test tomorrow, it's got one problem on it, the example of the problem is 11 pages long.)</blockquote>
