I personally think the new one is one of the best shows on TV (with Lost and 24 being my other favorites). BSG should have been nominated for some emmy's and was robbed. If this season is as good as the 1st season was and doesn't next year, it'll only confirm my belief's that all award shows are fixed.

If DAYV is like me, we were so used to the original storyline that the huge departure that was made from the original was, at the very least, hard to deal with.

Imagine that Star Wars was reimagined by George Lucas so that Darth Vader hung out with Luke and the gang, and they didn't know he was the bad guy (assuming Baltar is a bad guy).
Imagine that Han was redone as female (i.e. Starbuck).
Imagine that R2 shot Luke at the end of A New Hope, while an identical R2 was busy fixing vaporators on Tatooine.
See what I mean?

Believe me I completely understand how you guys feel on the changes. I know there were a lot of fans PO'd about the changes, especially when they were 1st released. So have you guys tried watching the show? Or is it too much of a stretch to achknowledge the changes? The reason I ask that is b/c I think the changes have been very good. And believe me, I'd be the 1st to say the show sucked if the changes were bad. But Katee Sackhoff is simply great at playing Starbuck. Having the Cylons look like humans now is great too, b/c it adds a complex mind game that the original show didn't have. If you haven't tried watching the show, or have tried but with a closed mind, give it another spin. Like I said before, it's one of the best shows on TV and my new obsession (Buffy being my last).
