SCI-FI channel will soon become Sy-Fy

[peewee's lovechild]

I drink mainly wine.

I drink mainly water, with the occasional tea.

But, you're still re ed.

Battlestar Galactica is pure awesomeness.

[manustarting2gd]

Scy-Fy? Damn, phonetic spelling? Instead of Science Fiction? Wow, Idiocracy is imminent. Soon we'll be seeing, "ASS, THE MOVIE" tops at the box office.

If this is true, why didn't they just create their own show? Why hijack the iden y of a show that (in it's time) was pretty damn awesome itself?

Dude, the original series was cheesy as .

Did I watch it? Yea, I did. But, only because I'm a sci-fi nerd and I'll give any show based on outer space a chance.

The new Battlestar is just pure awesomeness.

[JoeChalupa]

Battlestar Gallactica!?!?

[JoeChalupa]

And you call me stupid?

[peewee's lovechild]

And you call me stupid?

Yea, I do.

[JoeChalupa]

Yea, I do.

Thanks!

[peewee's lovechild]

Thanks!

You're welcome.

[JoeChalupa]

You're welcome.

Actually I too am a sci-fi nut but more into real science but I did watch the Star Trek spin-off but I can't remember what it was called. The one with the female Captain. Oh well. I just couldn't get into battlestar.

Sure, it's cheesy. But at the time, it was awesome. Especially to a kid in the late '70s.

My question, though, is why "re-imagine" an already existing show? If they were going to re-make it, like Hollyweird seems bent on doing to every other movie/show older than 3 years, and use new actors reprising the roles of the original, that would be one thing. But why bother using character names and situations in a totally new show? Just make your own new show.

Voyager.

That was only one of the spin offs.

There was TNG (The Next Generation), DSG (Deep Space Nine), Voyager, and Enterprise, which was more of a prequel of sorts.

Okay, it was Deep Space Nine.

Pfffft...........none of these shows would exist if it wasn't for The Jetsons.

I get what you're saying.

And, this pisses me off, to be sure, when it happens with other movies and what not. But, the new Battlestar is just superior to the old Battlestar.

It took me a while to get over the fact that many of the things and characters were changed. But, the story is just compelling as .

You should give it a shot.

And, the Jetsons would'nt have existed if it wasn't for the Buck Rodgers series.


Hey, anyone remember the cheesy as Buck Rodgers of the 80s.

I used to love that show.

[IronMexican]

I only catch the Twilight Zone on it.

I'm being dissed about the Jetsons!

Doesn't Scare Tactics come on that channel? That show cracks me up.

Yea it does. How can those people not know something just isn't right?

Battlestar Galactica is the best show on television. I'm not sure why anyone would laugh when someone suggests that it's a great show, unless one is completely uninitiated.

[velik_m]

Battlestar Galactica was so boring i stopped watching it - and i watched all the episodes of Babylon 5: Crusade.

You're the kind of guy that thinks TV doesn't get much better than House.

I don't understand why SciyFyi doesn't show HD shows in HD on its HD channel. What's the point of having it? Maybe if they called it Eighch-Die (German pronunciation for the second word, of course).

I like the basic concepts of BG, but god damn they drag things out -- and "frak" got old after the first thirty minutes of the pilot. I never made it out of the first season.

That's unfortunate because the 2nd season is the best.
