) had good memories of the original BSG - and was part of our childhoods growing up, which is why some may have a little intrepidation when its announced that the US are doing a 'reimagining' of you start to be a little cynical - maybe a cheap cash-in on the name of BSG?...that said as soon as I found out that Ron Moore was at the helm sone of this intrepidation melted away - this guy was superb on Trek - always pushing the boundaries of the franchise (much to the alleged chagrain of Berman and TIIC), asking questions of the viewer and often delivering uncomfortable and searching tv - gone were the days where villain of the week is outwitted by the captain through a human morale or technobabble in the final few mins - never to return again or see the consequences of his actions... (it is a shame Trek returned to this premise with VOY and some of ENT!)
Terrorism, faith, belief, racism, love, friendship, trust, betrayal, ideals - Trek staples which had become stale in it's delivery over the years was 're-invented' for DS9 (and now BSG)...
You know that BSG is going to be unpredictable in it's content and story when Moore wanted the finale of DS9 having the Federation LOSE the war vs the Dominion - which caused no end of problems as the suits at the time demanded a re-write for a happier ending at such short notice... BSG has been one helluva ride so far, but it's only just beginning - here's to 7 seasons (hopefully - at least) of quality thought provoking and entertaining tv
