I've never seen the new show (no cable) but I thought that the latest version was roundly considered to be "PC crap" with so-called empowered women, sleeze, and moral relativism. That stuff turns me off.

Is it really otherwise?

I saw the miniseries when my nephew gave me the DVD for Christmas.

It's not PC crap. It's a damn good show.

When I first heard of the changes, I was a skeptical as you are. So I had a prejudiced preconception in my mind when I watched the pilot. It was not PC at all! Sure, there were PC issues, but it wasn't preaching to you. You saw people faced with life and death dilemmas and some characters had PC solutions. But changing some of the characters to female didn't compromise the show. The characters are believeable and it's not a "look at the woman in this role, isn't it great!" You saw real characters, not 2 dimensional PC characters in those roles. If you can get the DVD's, I would recommend them. you won't regret it.

Moral relativism it isn't. There's an ongoing debate among those who watch the show whether an attempted rape on a Cylon was actually rape since she is a machine. In the first episode they blow up a civil liner for the good of the fleet and the Commander barely blinks.

I want to vomit when I see "Commander in Chief" being nominated for Golden Globes and BSG being left out entirely.

It sort of depends on your POV. They are all faced with really difficult decisions, and even in the show admittedly don't always do the right thing. The latest one had the basic question, "Can I perform an immoral act that I think is necessary for survival and still call myself a human worthy of living?" The answer was a resounding no, you can't destroy your principles because of immediate necessity. Your view of what is necessary may be wrong.

It really is otherwise (i.e. not "PC"). And very definitely not crap. Here is my mini-review of the show. It's actually one of the most conservative shows on TV.
