OT: BSG - wtf?

Errr... this is going to sound really stupid (it might not have made its way to the UK yet), but are we talking about a new Battlestar Galactica (ie not one with bad 70's hairstyles and Dirk Benedict as Starbuck)

Yeah SciFi channel is it's infinite wisdom decided to do a remake of BSG. It changed a lot of the various minor plot points, but tried to keep the overall humans vs. cylons.

Is it any good? Hopefully, it does not repeat all the duplicate shots from the originals

About average, I'd say. At least most episodes are worth watching, although there was a period with alot of really boring ones in a row.

OK, sounds like it might be one for a Friday night from the video shop, provided there is no decent sporting event on or they are re-running The Vicar of Dibley on Bravo

One thing I want to know and that is this. How did the Cylons channel Jimmy Hendrix? I didn't even recognize that song until they played it at the end of the last episode of season 3. That was some lamo version of it. I love "All Along The Watchtower", but couldn't recognize it.

I dunno, maybe Bob Dylan and George Harrison were trading bong hits in the dish of a radio telescope, and Bob goes to George, "Naw, man, new, wait a sec, man. The Jimi thing was cool, but let's hear Ravi play it." And then he took it and ran with it, but they never recorded it, cause they all got the munchies the next morning? Or something.

I watched the reruns before the new season, to be in the best mode for it, and the inserted lines were funny, at one time, a drunk Saul Tigh says, "There's too much confusion ..." I'll have to watch those two episodes again, see if other lines are worked in ... 'though I figure I would have noticed, "businessmen drink my wine, ploughmen dig my herbs"

That version was done by Bear McCreary. He does ALL the music for BSG

Baltar's not a cylon. He's just f%^#ing insane.
