I remember, and enjoyed, the original Galactica and was happy to see that the new series paid homage to the old series' good points yet still developed new ideas and concepts.

I must have missed the "homage". Particularly since the guys who did the "re-imagining" have made statements that they didn't like the original.

Absolutely correct !

This new series made in Canada(the Cold Dark North) has nothing at all to do with the original series . .

In the first pilot, they did a little homage, here and there,
like showing a Cylon Centurion from the original series in that display case on the Galactica .

This new series and its creators are simply hijacking the title for its' name recognition .

Canadians have doen this cultural atrocity before,
when Sam & Greg Strangis hijacked the title: WAR OF THE WORLDS, to produce a sleazy little series in the late 1980's that had little or nothing to do with the original movie by George Pal, that they claim they based it on .
This TV show was more like a proto-X-Files with slasher film gore (Frank Mancuso Jr was the associate producer)

I'm looking forward to Season Two of the new Battlestar Gallactica coming out on DVD. It'll be on my Christmas list.
