don not you just hate it when you order steak but the restaurant give you chicken . such be how i felt watch this so called battlestar galactica . argument can be make over it quality but the fact remain and it not what the fan order . imagine if you be sit down at that proverbial restaurant i mention . you have wait year for them to bring back their famous new york strip steak which you love . when your meal arrives and you find they have apply the name new york strip to a chicken dish . you complain but the waiter merely state but ze cheeken and ee really good zir . do you really care if the chicken be good . you want new york strip a steak . the waiter then explain and you zee zir and ze chef want to to do and a you zay and zomezing new . we felt ze cheeken would be more popular zo we give it the name of our previous delicious deesh . you ask if you will ever find the original new york strip on the menu in the future but be inform that because the restaurant have a dish call new york strip now on the menu and you will never see the original new york strip ever again . such be the case with create something new and slap the battlestar galactica namesake on it . this mini series be an affront to all fan of the original show . it a shame the production team put in charge of this new version obviously hold contempt for the original . the team put in charge of resurrect bg should have love the original series seek to improve what the fan love and not try to shamelessly sell this new series by exploit the battlestar galactica name . if scifi channel want to give u a new show and then do so . give it a new name . don not use the name we fondly remember in an attempt to lure in viewer . that effectively rob u of the chance to see any semblance of the original in the future . we have be wait for 25 year to see what we know a bg because we like something about the original . we do not simply want the name and remnant of the basic concept . there be thing we love about the original series . sadly and probably the best element of the original be those which be omit . sure and the original bg be imperfect and could have use some updating . this mini series and however and be not an improvement in any regard but the special effect ( which be good but not anything unusual by today standard ) . many viewer will debate back and forth about the quality of this new show but we will not forgive scifi and ron moore for destroy our dream . that be say . i shall offer some comment about the merit of this new mini by itself ( not in comparison to the original ) representthe battle sequence be the best part . effort be obviously put into make the effect more real in appearance and less wow look at that effect . i would not say these sequence be exceptional by today standard yet they be in keep with make for cable original movie . what be the deal with this pseudo live cam . some view try to fake the effect of a real camera with lag track and jerky zoom . however and it be over used consider there be no apparent source of these camera . the infinitely more intelligent series and babylon 5 and be the only instance i have see such live cam use effectively and when we be supposedly witness action from security cam . the script and you ask . the script felt like it be write by a teenager and for other teenager . the character felt cardboard and stereotypical . indeed and the whole story felt piece together from other well know stereotype . the only good feature of the entire story be those few element which be preserve from the original series . it be obviously dumbed down for digestion of your average tv audience . the human interaction be pitiful . rather than drama base on subtle look and expression and fine timing and every moment of human tension be exaggerate to the point of be so obvious they lose all ability to move any refined viewer . such be obvious in any interaction between adama and son . the director must have be try to make sure the most dense and unfeeling viewer wouldn not miss it even if not pay attention . sorry and but real human do not behave like the continually . i wouldn not have consider this a bad show have it stand on it own . nothing great while it will never be revere by true scifi fan or artisan and but it would be watchable by the mass . i personally could have live without it and though . i only watch it to see how it really do capture the spirit of the original . how this mini series will always be remember be a a symbol of how quality in storytelling have be cast aside to appeal to great number . how even scifi channel have dumbed down it production to cater to the mass a oppose to it true niche market and the science fiction fan . it will be the time we ask for steak and they insist on give u chicken and despite our complaint . i leave you with only one think no moore .
