Yeah I saw the ep of Buck Rogers....in 2002 (as I wasn't even around when it first aired). I was thinking "Well the plot is kind of lame but....wow look a tall that steam
).
As for the New Battlestar Galactica here's my oppinion in a nice ordered number list of why I'll probobly give it a shot:
1. Starbuck being a woman is kind of cool BECAYSE of the fact that Starbuck is Apallo's best friend, they are trying to show that a woman and a man can be the closest of friends while not having a cheesy love interest or sexual tension between them.
2. Boomber going from a short black guy to a short asian girl I also have no problem with (partly because of the fact that it's Grace Park
) and because although it looks like she might have a love interest it also doesn't look like it's gonna be one of the main characters which is always a good thing. And I always liked a cute lady that can kickass with the best of em.
3.The ships all look really good, including the revamped Vipers.
4. I got a glimpse of the Neo-Cylon battledroids and trust me you guys will not likely be disapointed.
5. YES the CYLONS are the badguys they turned evil of their own "choice" I guess, but yeah they are the evil imperialistic robots we've all come to know and love in the original series.
6. The female pilot from the original series "Sheeba" when she wasn't flying her fighter was buisy crying about one thing or another so I'm glad to see her gone.
7. Sci-Fi usually does a good job at remakes as we saw with Frank Hurburts DUNE and a few others.
