I'm always amazed how there two VERY different camps about this show. I don't think I've met one person who likes both equally. They are, in tone, polar opposites. The original was campy and fun and pretty much fluff. Which isn't bad. I've seen episodes, and yeah, for what it was, it was fun. Except for some of the robots. And Boxey. The re-imagined series, is a human drama, that takes a look at how real people would try to survive when on the run battling the extinction of their species. It really depends on what you want out of the show, because Battlestar Galactica now is NOTHING like the original.
Ozymandias:
In my experience, the people in the old BSG camp haven't even given the new one any sort of chance.
Slick:
I do remember laughing when I read a review of BSG stating something to the effect of it being 'the best new drama' this season. I mean, I know it's all new drama, and it's a different show, but I still chuckled at the line.
If you expect the old in the new you'll be sorely dissapointed, but if you were getting your wish you'd still probably be pretty dissapointed in that it was nothing interesting to you.
I assume it'd be hard for anyone who is familiar with source material to enjoy a remake.

yeah, maybe, iv only seen a few episodes of the new one, so there might be something to that, but personally i usually dont take to re-makes if iv seen the original first.
Ozymandias:
In the case of Battlestar Galactica, it's not even a remake.
Or it's the best kind of remake. The kind where you take the premise and setting of an older show that didn't do well or wasn't very good, and then change it until it will do well and is good. I guess that's why the old BSG camp doesn't like it: it assumes the old BSG sucks.
Which, if you were born past 1979, it does. Cheesy and campy. Blarg.
