You dumb asses. Enough with trashing new BSG. It’s the best TV serie ever made, way above TOS in EVERY aspect including characters. WHY is everyone complaining about the lack of lasers, tech, etc… in new BSG ?? it’s called realistic sci-fi dudes and it’s original while you have TONS of sci fi series featuring energy guns AND AND AND aliens !!!! what a refreshing idea to make the Cylons look feel human instead, to make weapons shoot bullets and doors not sliding and the like !! don’t you just understand that ? you seem to want it clichee, moralist, cheesy, funny… Why hating variety ? Last point : Kara Thrace IS Starbuck. She’s awesome, the one from now on linked with the nickname. No comparison with the old macho space hero, there’s a entire galaxy between them.

The new re-fined version of BSG is just plain BS. I watched it with great promise first time around, I was so board. Cylons use to look human, and some of them are mixed with humans, were have I seen this before, oh yeah, TERMINATOR!. Then its who is sleeping with who and their hard ship of whoas, were Have I seen this? oh yeah…EVERY FRICKEN TV SHOW! The New genaration of TV is just crap, and the new BSg is the same as they all are, crap. Had you ever saw the orignal series? the entire crew wore UNIFORMS giving it a PLAUSABLE military look. And used a emblem that dose not resemble the Rebels emblem in Star Wars. Matter in fact, the ships in the new BSg look like left over reject ships from Star Wars. The cylons look to be a cross of a George Lucas reject version of Genral Greives and the liquid terminator. when the old BSG came out it was a STORY! A real STORY, of man’s survivle aginst the Cylon Empire. Cylons were never human LOOKING. They felt man was a Thret to their race, this was even the reason for the WAR! Every episode there was something always happening. In the new version of BSg, it to has something happening. Never anything to do with the story. But the chicks are hot, but then again, EVERY TV SHOW HAS IT. Who is sleeping with Who, who is togeather and who is not, the make shift sex scean. Yeah this is NeW…NOT!.. I am for the movie as long as it is based on the exciting adventures of the war of man verses the machine of the OLD tv series, the orignal. Were the Cylon’s say “Thease humans are fragile and easily damaged.” and Starbuck says ” at lest we don’t rust!” were they hang on for dear life in the ship to ship fighter conflicts, to when even the Battle Star herself is engadged with a Cylon Battle ship. Anyone who remembers this will agree. There was so much going on. Even the Warrior had real barracks like they should. Even looked like em. had everything in place like you expect to see for a squadern. Uniforms poker playing and falling into ranks. Not privet rooms like found on Star Trek. If this movie is going to be based on the orginal BSG and not the new BSg. I am all for it. I just hope he dosen’t get lost with the 3-d thing. That is another old batch of laundry. Any how the best part is, the old BSG was popular back in the day, and lasted as being popular well out of the 1979 as all the way leading to this new BSg. And I am sure there are many who liked the orginal BSG since back then untill now and did not care for the new BSg at all. cause you can not take a good TV show, make a crap show, stamp and sell it as the same as the old but better.

As a fan of the original BSG I would love to see a movie that was closer to the original storyline.

The older Galactica is still a better looking ship in my opinion. The new series had some great ideas, awesome special effects and good acting, however some of the twists in storyline and characters were not for me, mind you niether was the last season of the original.

Whatever happens I hope the film goes ahead and has both a great script and director that is able to get a balance for both the original and the new fans.

Yay…about time!!!!
they say, original is best!
I agree. Glen A Larson brought TV into the 80s with an absolute wollop!!
I can’t wait to see the re-make. Bring back the old cylons…not the lifeless pieces of crap in the new series.
Keep us posted PLEASE!!!

So it looks like there are basically two camps, here. We have the folks who are fans of TOS and folks who are fans of TRS. There’s also a third group that is BITTER and would like nothing less than Ron Moore’s head on a platter.

Well before you howl for Ron Moore to be drawn and quartered, try to remember that there were a few other people involved here. The biggest culprit would be the folks at Universal, who kept rejecting Richard Hatch, as well as Fox, who pulled the plug on the Singer/ DeSanto project. And let’s not forget that Singer abandoned the 2002 movie to go work on X-Men.

Should you be upset at Ron Moore? Hey, if you want to waste energy and let the guy rent space in your brain, that’s up to you.

But, if you bothered to read some of the stuff he wrote relating to this whole thing, he didi say that he himself was a fan andd he understands being dedicated to a fictional world.

And if Richard Hatch can be big enough to stand up in a room full of people and tell Moore that he admired him for his courage and vision, why can’t you? And the part everyone seems to love to forget is that it was the STUDIO’s decision to re-imagine the series and that was not Ron’s fault. Don’t believe me? Read for yourself:

I am watching the old original 1978 series here on my laptop, and I’ve never seen it before. I think it’s SPECTACULAR! I also like watching the original Star Trek series. So phoeey on all you people who think old can’t still be good. I never saw the 2004 remake TV series with the women leads, but from all the comments above, I gotta say, that series sounds awful. I love seeing up to date technologies and new sci fi films, but if you don’t have a great story line, you’re wasting your time. From what I’m reading here, teh 2004 series doesn’t seem to have much of a story, but I’ll have to see the reruns somewhere and find out for myself. In the meantime, I am REALLY loving this 1978 series. Nothing wrong with watching some oldies but goodies. And the third episode, with the casino guests wrapped up in the beehive, that always reminds me of the song Hotel California, you can check in but you can never leave! What happened to the original movie that came out, before this 1978 tv series, when was THAT movie, anyone know? If a new movie comes out, I’ll go to see it happily!

The ONLY reason why MooreRon made Starbuck a woman was to piss off his former b.f who liked the original show after they broke up. When asked at the SanDiego Comic Con back in 2008 he mentions that he was and I quote “Going through a lot of things during that time personally and professionally. I was fired from Star Trek and had burned a few bridges there. As things usually come in threes I had a few personal problems which I believe worked itself out into my writing of BSG”.

All TV shows look dates. So nagging about how BSG looked cheesy makes you look like a fucking moron.

Mark and Harrisons hair in Star Wars dates the film.

Get over youself douchebag!

People didn’t like Superman Returns as much because they tried to give you a story and not 2hours of action shots.

People who had problems with it are just morons.
Much like todays viewing audience.

I look forward to seeing this new BSG movie.

I am sick of Ron Moore and all his whining. Instead of combing his greasy hair all day complaining about Sci Fi. Why doesn’t this fucking jack off make his OWN ORIGINAL series? More Remakes? Please. This guy doesn’t have an original idea to save his pathetic life. No wonder his partner left him last year making him even more bitter to the world.

A Blob remake? Come on!

Ron Moore…your a fucking jackoff!

I liked the original series, and liked the new series. I just like any good sci-fi. A well written and well acted new BSG movie is something that I could enjoy, as long as they get a decent director. I heard the guy who directed Superman Returns might direct, but since I didn’t like Superman Returns (boring, uninteresting, no action), I am concerned.

We’ll also need some decent action and space battles. It’s my opinion that the original BSG story of where the Cylons came from was better and that they should remain more artificial looking (only not quite as clunky as the originals). But I understand the limits of TV and didn’t fault the new BSG series too much for that.

I liked the new BSG until the last 45 minutes of the finale. Then the whole thing took a nose dive finally crashing and burning into a crumbled Deus ex machina mess. lol Oh well…

I’m really looking forward to a big budget TOS BSG movie coming out. I hope a lot of the original cast is involved somehow. I’ll just have to cross my fingers that there isn’t any flying into the sun or dancing robot montages involved.
