Battlestar Grammactica

I’m Still Trying to figure out the Reason Tron: Legacy exists. Sure the first was a cult hit. Sure a whole generation of geeks remember it fondly. But a reboot of a failed franchise after twenty years? Sure I’m There- Just like I was there or Star Wars: The Menace of Jar Jar. But who else? Unless of course the trailer makes it look incredibly cool, with just enough throw backs to cause a chill up my spine. Ater all, it’s not like any off the principals or original design could still be relevant:

Oh, Hell Ya.

With a healthy dose of Mad Max, The Transformers and Aliens, just because…

Here’s the trailer for Battlestar Galactica 4.5-The final ten episodes begining in Jan.:

I Like it overall, but am still worried. The generic, over done suspense theme scares me.
Couple of Notes:

* Anyone think the race at the beginning is a nose-thumbing at Lucas? The THX Cop? The Kid racer?
* Yes the Enterprise is under construction on Earth. Gaah
* Why don’t Star Trek and BSG have Fighters? What’s with all the Capital Ships?
* Tortured Spock? Hasn’t this been by before? Like, In every Star Trek?
* Crystal Bridge looks too….Plastic?

Your Thoughts?

I Don’t know if I like the look of this Mini Series- It looks to Fifties Paranoia for my tastes. Also, Where are the Toasters? Wasn’t the War originally with the Toasters? I was promised Toasters and I got Edsels?
