I was in high school when the original Battlestar Galactica came out and I was hooked.I was geeky enough to go see the
pilot at the movie theater for the big screen experience. When I heard that they were remaking it I was thrilled,I still love science fiction.

Much to my surprise this remake is even better than the original.This isnt meant as a slight to the original production.I like the re-make more because in almost every way it is superior.The story is more evevoled.The characters have more depth,the acting top notch,the special effects are superior for obvious reasons.

I cant understand why fans of the original want to bring back the original cast as good as they where.It would be nice at first to see them all together again but it would get old quickly,especially with Lorne Green no longer with us.The director has done a fantastic job of re-interpreting the characters,updating the story and breathing new life into the franchise.I sincerely hope that they make a series out of the mini-series.Its far better than Enterprise which is trying too hard to reach an audience and losing what made the the whole Star Trek franchise great in the first place.I may not be in the demographic that Sci-Fi is looking to attract but they will have me watching and Ill bet many others if they decide to make it into a series.
