The SciFi channel is airing a redone, revised version of that classic 70's TV show, "Battlestar Gallactica," only one of my fave TV shows as a kid. Great, right?

Well, whoever is in charge of the whole thing, and I'm guessing it was someone who had something to do with the original, decided that the point of the new show was to make better what they thought was lacking from the original. That means better special effects, seriously earnest acting, subtexts, sleeker looking Cylons and spaceships, and identical looking hunky guys. Say goodbye to the same two shots being used to show ships being blown up, feathered haircuts, bad acting, super-cheesy Cylon warriors and ships, and dumb plots. In other words, it's "Battlestar Gallactica" without any of the fun. Okay, getting rid of Muffit the Dog was probably a good thing, but no Starbuck? Hello?

Dude, those old Cylons with their Robo voices rocked
