I enjoy the new one as well, particularlythe darker overtones. I loved the original as well, but LOATHED Galactica 1980. Incidentally in Australia, the pilot to the original (as well the pilot to Galactica 1980)were given Cinema runs!!! You could (and I did) check it out on the big screen...

What I really liked about the original compared to the new one is that you felt the humans were from an enytirely different part of the galaxy. Clothes, customs, etc ..all gave you that alien feel. On the new show, while the plots may be more complex, the costume styles and attitudes may them seem like they're from Brooklyn or Chicago or LA. Give me the alien feel of the original any day. Consequently I never watch the new series anymore......it's kinda boring.

both old and new are cool, its depends what era u live in i suppose cos my kids just wont watch the old series. but they did like the battle scene in the new series of new cylons versus old guardians. although i had to explain where they were coming from :)

I loved the original show. Use to watch it every night, when the re-runs aired on channel 46 in Atl back in the day.

Now I own the dvd boxset. I also like the new version of the show, but the original is always the best of the 2.

They should have called the new one :Battlestar Galactica Alternative. to me I just consider it an alternative story.

Wish the networks would have done what Richard Hatch(Apollo) originally wanted to do, he had filmed a trailer with some of the older actors to bring a new Galactica tv show based on his novels and a continuing story based on the original show. But the industry turned him down and ignored the fan base, and we got the new version.
