Battlestar Galactica Fans: Revised BSG, Love It or Hate It?
#6
RE: Battlestar Galactica Fans: Revised BSG, Love It or Hate It?
The BSG universe has always made an impression on me of the epic story of the usual good versus evil type. The classic BSG is one of those sci-fi TV shows that if you watched it as a kid remains in your brain, if you loved it, as a feel-good memory, and it is for me as I grew up during the 70s. Yeah, it was cheesy and some of the humor was juvenile. Classic BSG was more geared toward teens and young adults as a target audience. I like it as a cool part of my late childhood.

Having said that, I would have to say I am more partial to the revised BSG. It was more geared to the theme of the whole story: mankind fleeing genocidal destruction. It was more grittier, darker, brought the religious conflict aspects more to the fore, and to a degree was more realistic. I especially liked how Edward James Olmos depicted Adama, and I really enjoyed how Mary McDonnell fit well into the character of President Roslin. I liked her so much I started watching Major Crimes because she is in it. I also enjoyed "Caprica" and "Blood & Chrome." Another plus is that the writers and producers consulted a scientist, Dr. Kevin R. Grazier (http://insights.dice.com/2012/08/24/feat...r-grazier/), he was the one who came up with the idea of the Cyrannus star system as a double binary star system that contained all twelve planets of the Colonies. That was cool, and it made much more sense than cramming all 12 planets around one star. I bought the official poster.
