CONTROVERSIAL ROLLINGSTONE

Have you seen the controversial cover of the new ROLLINGSTONE?! (click on image to enlarge).

Now I see why everyone's upset! "Battlestar Galactica: The Toughest, Smartest Show on Television". What?!! Blasphemy!!! Have you tried watching this turd? I mean, the CYLONS look like humans. 'Nuff said. What was Rollingstone thinking?!!

THIS is Battlestar Galactica, you Chodes!

oh come on Jim!! The new Battlestar is a great show. However you have to look at it as a COMPLETELY different show than the original. Sure, they re-use names and whatnot, but it is a VERY different show than the original. But, a GREAT show!! I can't get enough of it! You can only last one season with clunky metal cylons, but at least 3 seasons with humans as cylons.

Forget the Cylons... What is up with Kanye West?? Is this like his version of the Madona "Like a Prayer" thing?

Haha, you're killing me here, Lisa!!! Ok, I'll try and give it another shot. Where should I begin? The Mini-Series? Or start at Season 1?

Still...would it have killed them to have some of the "human" Cylons in traditional Cylon armor sometimes? That's all I ask. Put the "stormtroopers" in the armor, man!

Jim, you will see some real, metal cylons in the new series. Some at the end of season one, and again in the beginning of season two. You could start w/the pilot, but it's not necessary. Just jump into season one and you should be fine. And try not to get too irritated W/Dr. Baltar & his invisible friend-that's the one part that makes me crazy in season one, but there's LOTS less in season 2, thank the gods.

Ok... I'll give it another shot. The pilot mini-series is what turned me off the most. So I'll jump into season one with fresh eyes and give it another chance. Some coworkers here who are also into GOOD sci-fi have actually said similar things that you said....

but if its still crappy, you all owe me some Star Wars statues or sumfin!

LOL! just be sure to NOT think of it as the show you grew up with. It's more of a cousin to that show--in the same family but looks completely different. There's LOTS of action and the whole "human cylon" thing is actually pretty good because it ads an interesting bit of mystery/intrigue. This is only one of a few "must watch" shows for me, and the only one that I watched the shows on tv but still bought the DVD's to re-watch them. Give it a shot!! Just DON'T think of it as the original!!!!
