The new series I could care less if the cylons won or not. The changes they made in the new series to the cylons just ruined it.

Yes, I know. I even said that in my post.

And always check your junk mail folder. It might be sorting itself into that.

I signed up for the newsletter yesterday after reading this thread, but have heard nothing from them. Any idea how long it takes to get "on board"?

By the way, I am a HUGE Galactica fan of both the old and new series. Before the new one came out I bought all the paperback stories, many of the comic books, and all the TV show on DVD. I consider them two entirely different universes at this point. The original series had a mythology I really liked more, and the characters were really interesting. I also liked the clear cut bad guy/good guy line.

The new series has better dialogue, and is well acted. The effects are obviously better, and the intensity is way higher. So it's got its good and bad as well. It's interesting how they are diluting the good vs bad thing and who exactly is the enemy, but I get tired of that sometimes and really need to get back to "these are the good guys and those are the bad guys". I also get tired of too much "over-drama" as I call it. Sometimes it's just too dark all the time.

But they're both great!

They need to get Lee and Starbuck back behind the wheel and bring back the action.

Took about a week before I received anything from them

I just hate having to wait for months and months before seeing the last half of season 4. NOT FAIR!

And an ebook version of the miniseries isn't helping.
