Hmm, I didn't realise that, most probably because I watched the feature-length pilot episode of the rebooted BSG with great interest, thinking "well, something's bound to happen in a minute" and I kept thinking that right up to the point when it ended. I decided not to bother with it after that. No, I was thinking more along the lines of when Starbuck looked uncannily like Dirk Benedict:
Not in any sexually-curious or even 'bromance' way; I just feel the series had more dramatic impact back then. In many ways I'm a traditionalist when it comes to classic sci-fi. Hence my totally-unrelated disappointment with J J Abrams' Marmite version of Star Trek (i.e. you either love it or loathe it).
