"There are a lot of folks who will refuse to give the new a try. I can understand that, but this is pretty good if you treat it as something on its own."

Actually it's more along the lines of not watching it because of PC gone amuck. Anytime a show replaces key players in order to be PC it's garbage in my book. No different then the Libs trying to change the color of the firemen who raised the 9/11 flag.

I was all set to watch it, even if they replaced the Cylons with humans. However when I saw they replaced Starbuck with a woman I lost all interest. For the same reason I refused to watch to watch the movie adaptation of Tom Clancy's novel when I found out they replaced the arab terrorists with skin heads.

Kids watching this show, and it's primary target is the teen demographic, will come away with a strong message that in some battles there's no negotiation, no appeasement, and the goal is something as simple as survival.

Nothing liberal about that.

the new actors don't detract from the show in the slightest. Indeed they force you to take the show on its own merits instead of a tired "been there done that" remake.

Too bad. She kicked a$$. Best casting decision in the film.
