I liked it (Score 1)

Sorry to all the long time fans who may be offended by the changes or for that matter, dislike them. However, I have to say that though it is an entirely new series I like it a lot more than the other one. It has a gritty feel to it, though the plot is essentially the same. However, it delivers elements that the original series never did and the producers seemed to have much more freedom in making it than that of the original shows. However, the important thing is the vibe the show gave off. I don't think they picked Battle Star Galactica as a remake simply because it was a big name. Granted, that would help it's publicity and as such promote the financial gain of the show... Still, I think the producers chose it because of the potential drama the series could offer. Why reinvent the wheel? The plot of Battle Star Galactica was perfect for the producer's vision of what they wanted to create. To be certain, I have watched the documentary and read the official FAQ. The producers wanted a sort of human drama, a situation where all the characters are really tested and their true nature emerges. I really loved the show, I hope they make more. It is worthy of a series and it has the potential to be a great fixture on Sci-Fi.
