Default Re: OT question... is their going to be a New Mini series of Battlestar Galactica?

I lived and breathed Battlestar Galactica as a boy. I couldn't wait for the next episode each week. Reruns were also treasured. You have got to remember, this was the pre-VCR age. Many of of grade-school exams and papers were scribbled with the Galactica and vipers. I had the Start Trek bug, but not as bad as Galactica.

The SciFi channel can change it. Most of us don't remember enough about the series anyways. After all they gotta make a buck. And what makes a buck now-a-days is simple:

1) Dumb down the story line, so any idiot can follow the show. Anybody with an IQ above 80 is too smart to be wasting time watching television anyways.

2) Add plenty of girls with deep cleavage. My wife won't be watching Galactica. She won't care if it's a Richard Hatch look-a-like. Men, on the other hand, will care about cup size of the gorgeous female pilot leaning into the viper cockpit.

3) The original series pretty much trashed any hope for a sequel by coming out with those stupid episodes where they found Earth.
