"Living Legend"

Any resemblance between this show and the 25 year old show is purely coincidental.
The only similarity between Living Legend and this is the very basic theme that Galactica runs into the Pegasus and its commanded by someone named Kane.
The rest is too different.

1. I believe Kane had a different title in the original series (he was just referred to as Commander...and it was spelled Cain).
2. Lloyd Bridges...Michelle Forbes
3. Kane seemed to be subordinate to Adama in the original. Flipped in the new.
4. Kane was not brutal in original. The worst he did was to destroy Cylon fuel tankers to force the Galactica into using his plan of attacking two Base Stars, but in the end he turned out to be in the right, destroying both.
