It's funny, I feel like one of the few BSG fans who actually likes BOTH series...obviously for different reasons, but for me they both fit together nicely, especially since the new series makes continual nods to the old series...the old theme is now the Colonial Anthem, and there's a nice 40 year arc between them. Anyway, enough of that. This is a great flashback to my OTHER favorite series. Thank you!
The cast they selected for the newer show are supreme hands down. Edward James Olmos is one of my all time favorite actors. The other actors and actresses are also good and do bring an incredible amount of depth to their characters- and the women are smokin hot. I blame the writers for injecting a rather obvious feminine spin into this storyline, not to mention, making the colonial fleet seem more primitive. They simply bastardised a good thing much to the chagrin of the established fans.
I followed this show when I was a kid same as Buck Rogers and then Star Wars came out and I was in hog heaven. It's strange to see the way technology has progressed over my lifetime. These images are now possible. 30 years ago people all over the globe had to get a land line or put a quarter in a machine. Now we can communicate any time, anywhere, and do it in high resolution. It's amazing the technology that is available to the public. Imagine what the military is using. It's almost scary.
I was a kid back then and Sheba was my role model, a strong woman, a great pilot and a hero on her own. I simply adored Apollo, always wanted them to be together but alas.
I agree the new series i hate it im a big fan of the old BG and i have my old cylon, i hate and dont collect anything to do with the new series PLease bring back the old series (The Second CominG)
The new Battlestar Galactica is horrible. I have tried several times to watch it, but its just irritating to watch one of my all time favorite televsion shows be molested. The production values on the new Battlestar Galactica are so low It hurts me that they even call it Battlestar Galactica. All I can say is the sci-fi channel saved lots, and lots, of money on their new series.
@Aaron361970 YEAH! Seems like the trend nowadays. JJ Abrams did the same with his version of Star Trek. I loved this show, in spite of what Lucas said about Larson copying his Star wars movies. If only people would stay true to, or enhance canon, then they would have the fans they sought out to make. Instead, they shit on the ones that privilege them with the gift of opportunity to cash in on something special. So sad!
I met Anne Lockhart today and may I say what a lovely and kind lady she is.

@Chipchik Anne Lockhart was a sexy hottie on BG for sure! Galactica star Lorne Greene in great bio (Charlton Heston:An Incredible Life) at amazon!

I'd like to ditto my comments that I made about Anne Lockhart on the original BSG from the other Anne Lockhart tribute video.
She was one incredible woman. I especially like the black leather outfit she wore when they raided the Cylon homeworld. Ah, the memories...
This just confirms that the women in the original BSG were hotter than those in the new BSG.
Sackhoff, Helfer, Park, etc. just don't compare to Anne Lockhart, Maren Jansen, and Annette Spang, and Jane Seymour.
