  I've read a lot of reactions to this story on the net, and a lot of people have misinterpreted Olmos' comments as if he's saying the show will be bad.
  
  He's only saying what everybody already knows: when you remake a series, the die-hard fans of the original series are likely not going to enjoy the new one, especially if there are a lot of changes.
  
  Olmos is mainly speaking to the die-hard devoted fans of the original Galacita series, analagous to the Trekkies who wear Spock ears and scour old video tapes for nitpicky little details.
  
  I'll watch the pilot, though given Sci-Fi's record lately, I don't hold out much hope for it.

  I'm sure the remake will be very pretty. Apart from that, it will suck in comparison to the original. Remakes always change the stuff that made the original... well, original for a start. And the stuff that gave the original of anything heart. It's very rare for a remake to actually be good.

  This is Battlestar Galatica, the original show wasn't [u]that[/u] great. If the show had run for 5 seasons or had the storyline of B5, then there might be something to complain about...

  Heh. my thoughts exactly, Jack.
  
  I mean, other than the pilot and a few other episodes, it was TOO DAMNED CAMPY.
  
  I mean, Come ON! a Cowboy planet?!? Wolfman Jack being taken hostage by Cylons ?!?
