Tonight is the big premere of the long awaited remake of Battlestar Galactica on SciFi. I was a huge fan of the
original series in 1978, right up there when Star Wars first came out. I was estatic when I first saw the promo earlier
this summer, but as more info came out on what the remake was like, it makes me sad. Most of the reviews say that
if you were an avid fan of the original, you will be sorely disappointed. They have completely changed the entire storyline.
The cylons are now cyborgs which look like real people. The cast is now an intersexed, interracial plethora. Starbuck, the
oversexed, cigar smoking, gambling womanizer is now a *cough* female. Boomer, the hotshot black fighter pilot dude is now
an Asian chick. Baltar, the human traitor, who causes the demise of the human race is now a soft spoken British lad. WTF is
going on???
It would be like the remaking Star Wars Episode 4, with all new characters. Princess Liea would be a Muslum oil sheik named Prince Mustafa.
Chewbakka would be a NBA starting center, played by Shaq, and Darth Vader would be protrayed by Dennis Rodman....with no makeup added.
I'm sure we could fit Mini Me into a role for R2-D2.
I will watch it because I like science fiction and because I hate "I Love Raymond".
