Gee, you mean there's something else Moore stole to incorporate into this?
Well, seeing as how BSG came out before video games (IBM PC's for that matter) even hit the scene, I'd say Homeworld stole from BSG, although get rid of the ribbed ship and replace it with the Mothership, lose the slut in the red dress with the glowing spine, change the name of the show, and you've got a winner there.
TOS had its faults, and a remake that was a little edgier, darker and dramtic would have been in order but I can't seem to get into this show. I don't care what Moore's creds are, I think this re-imagining sucks. Couldn't he have imagined something not so Earthy, American, US Military?
For crying out loud, this is *supposed* to be an alien civilization not of or from Earth. CAG? President? Colonial One (Heavy)? Windsor knots on ties with collared shirts. Gillette safety razors? Johnny Walker scotch bottles?
I loved the mini, especially when the nuke detonated against the hull of the ship and left it basically intact. Although in a later episode (water?) 6 bricks of C-4 appear to do the same amount of damage.
Bullets in space? I'm assuming since we're not seeing spent brass flying out of the viper that they're using some sort of rail gun setup. But given the rate of fire, you'd think they'd be out of ammo after about 2 seconds. I mean where are they going to put that much? There has to be room for fuel for the main engines, fuel for the attitude thrusters, O2 for the pilots and the viper isn't all that big; it looks smaller than a F-15 Eagle, hell it looks smaller than an F-16.
And if they're generating enough power to operate a rail gun, why couldn't they be using a directed energy weapon. Even the US Airforce is starting to deploy those. Given the speeds of space bourne battle wouldn't you want some that was a little faster? They have FTL travel and nuclear weapons, so wouldn't directed energy weapons be available?
I know in SciFi you're supposed to have to suspend belief but come on, I don't find this believable in the SciFi sense.
Humans created Cylons? What, Terminator wasn't enough for Moore?
There was a lot of potential in reviving the BSG franchise, but whatever this is, it isn't BSG and should not be named as such.

Didn't you get Bonnie Hammer's feminist manifesto?

Hey Starbutch is a super woman; didn't you get the memo?
