The old Battlestar Galactica special effects may not compare to new CGI graphics but they were groundbreaking at the time, and they still hold up decently to me. The fight scenes needed more new/different ones is all. I like the original BG and Star Wars better than the new ones! They and the actors have more charm to me. Lorne Greene was such a great actor, a perfect Adama. Richard Hatch as Apollo too. They all were great! Lines for the females could`ve been better though in some scenes.

Sci Fi in the 70s and 80s cant not really be compared to Sci Fi now. Neither can both BSG be compared together really, if you asked me. As a 10 year old the old Galactica was just perfect for my world. As a 40 year old now I think its ridiculous, but back then it wasnt. The new BSG grew just like I did. Its like the adult version for me, intelligent and reflected. And it fits perfectly into this time.

I like the old Star Wars way better than the new ones. But, I like the new BSG way better than the old one. It's not about the age, it's about the quality and innovation. And in my opinion the new bsg wins in this catergory.

these people mean so much to me kinda like family, cause i grew up seeing them as much as my family.exept they took my mind to a place that was safe and gave me a sense of passion for sifi like star wars.but we were so poor in 1978-79 that tv was all we had,so shows like charlies angels,hart to hart,buck rogers,and battlestar galltica were all i needed...and still do.

@GGGritzer Well, I suppose they could have painted a giant rebel-flag on the back of the Galatica, and had Bo and Luke Duke, (aka Apollo and Starbuck,) being chased after by the cylons through the "Hazzard County" sector of space while Crazy Cooter, (aka Jolly,) would go on an inter0galatic "moon-shine" run to raise enough money to sponcer the Galatica Super-kids with baseball uniforms to defeat the Imperious Leader, (aka Boss Hog,) in the world series. Anything's better that what they produced!

Hey, in defence of 1980 it just needed better writing. If it had more Cylon involvement it would have rocked and maybe Cain returning in the Pegasus to initiate a battle with the Cylons blitzing them would have drawn the non believers back.....

[tonywhiteshow]

@GGGritzer I think you still get mystery regarding the origin of the cylons in the new one. If anything, Caprica destroyed that.

where's dirk? fuck this

[MrSchultzstaffel]

Loren Green was unbeatable in this role.He represented a proverbial "Moses" who lead his people out of the hands of bondage into the promise of a land "flowing with milk and honey."He was an awesome presence and an epic actor to match.The new Galactica series is literally, a crock of crap and Galactica 1980 went over with all the charm of a battery-acid enema.We never know what we've lost until it's gone, and this original incarnation of BattleStar: Galactica will never be equaled or forgotten

@dedbusted unfortunately Lorne Greene would be unqualified to be President because he was born in Canada but he would be INFINITELY better than the kenyan born communist organizer in chief the obamamessiah jackass currently occupying the white house. here is to the ONE TERM jackass in chief BEFORE The United States of America is destroyed by the demonrat policies of the obamanauts, obamatorns and obamatrons.
