Watching the new BSG (or BSG2004) has made me a fan of this. I sense people shaking their heads, but to me this remains the better even if the new one tackles issue of the day. There was a very real sense re-watching these of how a second series could go. The episodes after "War of the Gods" for the better part were building up the route home. "War of the Gods", "Greetings from Earth", "Experiment in Terra" and "The Hand of God", showed if anything that gradually the Galactica was coming closer to Earth and were finding more clues. Ignore the BSG 1980 series...I'd love to have seen Richard Hatch's Second Coming series come to life. His books are more or less an extension of this, showing a return of the Pegasus, Baltar and other twists and turns. Galactica is not a rip-off of Star Wars, far from it. Whereas there is a Rebel Alliance with bases, Galactica is but one battleship with a 'ragtag, fugitive' fleet fighting as she tries to find Earth. To para-quote Robert from "Free Enterprise", "Only classic Galactica! Only the original 28 episodes!"
score 10/10
