Comment on Battlestar Galactica remake

Why come up wtih orignal material when you can just re-hash the old stuff eh? Been seeing a great deal of reviews on this one and there have been some rather positive comments, along with the negatives. As always, time and Nielson rating will tell.The next interesting "remake" will be when the new Dr.Who series begins in 2005 on BBC with a new doctor.Regardless of how either show fairs, the efx shots will certainly look better then the orginals.# posted by Anonymous : 11:28 PM To be fair, I think the writers at SciFi are coming up with a semi-original story and maybe characters that weren't in the original. If it's as good as "Legend of Earthsea" I'll watch it. That is, it retains the cheeziness characteristic of sci-fi TV series in general, but the writing is just interesting enough to keep my attention. One has to lower one's standards for these things.
