Battlestar Galactica to Return

Posted by chrisd on Saturday March 1, 2003 @03:08AM from the thirteenth-tribe-indeed dept.

Chris Curtin writes "Looks like SciFi channel is redoing the classic series! I don't know about a female Starbuck but it might be interesting." I can't picture a Galactica without Lorne Green. So long as they don't bring back that stupid robot dog, it might be okay.

  Lorne Greene played Commander Adama on Battlestar Galactica, but most people remember him for his role on Bonanza.

Since there has never been one with anyone by that name.

The one with Lorne Greene was enjoyable though.

Forget a Commodore - on the series they used 36" blade fans and swirled a 2ft plastic pipe to make the "eye" swoosh sound - I'm guessing on the second one - that's how they did the "cylon eye" on KIT on Knight Rider.

This news is at least a year old! This is the 25th Year Anniversary of the original series. This is just a mini-series. This is going to suck! Nobody likes what they have done. There are SEVERAL petitions to stop this from airing! The fans and Richard Hatch (Appolo from the series) have been trying to get a continuation of the original series. Richard Hatch has written 4 books continuing the saga. This site is a great place to get the information on the new mini series.
Where to start. There is no more 12 colonies on 12 planets. There is 12 colonies on 1 planet. The cylons weren't created a reptilian race. The cylons were created by the humans to fight each other. All the characters are pale shadows of themselves. Anything that made them look and act like a hero is gone. Starbuck & Boomer are both now woman. Mr. Moore turned this once great show into a social propaganda engine. Don't expect this to be anything like the original because he is basing this on the the original Battlestar Galactica movie which was the first few episodes of the show and does have a lot of the character development.

Twiki is from from Buck Rogers.

The kid'd robot dog was named Muffit, but it didn't say "bidi bidi bidi".

Understandably, since they were both similar.

Twiki(?) was from Buck Rogers in the 21st Century, not BG.

I was going to make a joke about reading Loren Greene as Lorne Green, but it turns out that Loren Greene is a typo and my favourite wilderness show host also acted in Battlestar Galactica. How ironic, in an Alanis sort of way.

I never actually made the connection between Bonanza and New Wilderness either, and it turns out he was also known as "The Voice of Doom" from his CBC radio days.
