I watched for a few minutes until I saw they had Starbuck as a Woman.

I refuse to watch it because of this.

This was a great show in the original first season with Lorne Greene. This show looks like it needs some work. Is the cabinet secretary the same woman that played the First Lady in Independence Day?

then you're missing out -- big time.

It's not your father's battlestar galactica -- it's better. Better effects, better acting, better story.

If starbuck had been starbuck you'd be comparing the old to the new instead of immersing into the NEW story.

Oh for Pete's sake, don't blow off a halfway decent Sci show because of that. You know, in its own way, such an attitude is its own political correctness. We're talking about an alien culture -- not Earthlings. You can debate all you want about whether women should be in combat and all that, but this is fiction -- you know, make believe. And let's be honest, she looks and acts more like a man than pretty little Apollo does.

It's not the best show, but it's not bad so far. I think tuning out may be your loss.

It's not a crime to look at women. Really, it's okay.

You should watch it. You missed the best parts. It's much better than the original, and there really isn't much PC crap in it. The Starbuck thing is the only kind of stupid thing, and we'll see how it turns out.
