The best thing that could come out of Episode 3 would be another triumph skit on Conan! lol :)

Those of you voting,

Is this your first trip down Battlestar lane or are you a veteran of the original?

first trip. I tried watching the original...too corny and upbeat for my tastes. Perhaps I am just too used to the good computer effects. I like the new one TONS though, as it more reflects the bleakness of the events.

I remember the original series on TV and I liked the new show on SciFi. But I don't see what they could do on the big screen, the remainder of the TV series was of this ragtag fleet finding supplies and avoiding the Cylons until they found Earth. I d admit that the new show has a few unanswered questions, but not enough to dedicate an entire movie to it.

I know what you mean. But, that didn't stop Star Trek now did it!? ;). I think the dogfights in the new BG have been pretty intense. I think they've done well with the emotional tie-ins as well, especially given the short air time to work within.

Normally I would say, WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU MORON, OBVIOUSLY BATTLESTAR GALACTICA COULD NEVER COMPARE TO STAR WARS.
But since Phantom Menace was a piece of crap and Attack of the Clones was only halfway decent, who knows, maybe galactica could be a better movie. I used to watch the original show all the time, but it was pretty corny.
None of them will compare to the original SW movies.

LMAO!!! :D. I agree that none will compare to the original SW's. Just think if someone with the vision and creativity of Peter Jackson were to run w/BG. No doubt Lucas created more than just a movie with his Star Wars story (I've always enjoyed the books more than the movies) but I think he did a better job with the story than he did with the movies. The new ones are good, for space/action movies... just nowhere near worth the hype that's attributed IMO. I think most people, even the SW fanboys are more in love with what the movies 'should' be than what they 'are'. That's just a narrow minded personal opinion though... ;)

I'm definitely one of those SW fanboys.
I was 7 when the original was released.
I got everyone I knew to take me to it. Probably saw it close to 10 times in theaters.
And I'm guessing I've seen it at least 50 times altogether over the years.

I was totally crushed when I saw Phantom Menace.
But I actually enjoyed ATOC quite a bit. I do think it was much better, but it also helped that after PM, I wasnt' expecting much from ATOC and was actually pleasantly surprised. So I do still have hope that Ep 3 will be good.

Natalie Portman (EP II) > New Starbuck

Old Battlestar Galactica ship > New ship

New Cylon centurion > Old Centurion

I voted for BSG, and I think the new show is summed up best by a young A. Skywalker in EP I when he said "Yipeeeeeeee!" :D

Calling all Sci Fi channel viewers,

Anybody else watch the new Battlestar Galactica and like it?

For those of you who voted StarWars or "idiot", did you watch the new BG or did you vote w/out viewing?
