Virtual Birthday Party, Day 2

[wiseheart]

Dear all,

Day 1 of the party has been a great success: 170 comments on 2 pages so far. As agreed, I hereby kick off the second day, so that we won't lose everything like last year, should LJ crash our party again.

Threads of interest can still be commented on, but I ask you to start any new threads here from now on

And now: on with the party!!!

The new Andromeda Strain isn't bad per se. I just hate the fact that they turned what was originally a fascinating scientific problem into the nowadays so popular, terribly clichéd government conspiracy story.

As for Battlestar Galactica... I'm afraid we'll have to agree to disagree. I've been a devout fan of the original since the 1980s, when it first hit the small screen over here, and the "reimagined" one would never work for me. I gave it a try, and It would have worked for me if they hadn't call it BSG and hadn't twisted characters I loved beyond recognition.

It is not BSG. If they thought the original was shit, why trying to sell their completely different series under the same title? Because the old series had faithfiul followers even after decades, who hoped to get some version of their old favourite and got something else instead? It's not a honest thing. If they want something diffferent, they should call it different, too. But as a selling tool, the dumb old show was good enough for them, right?

Sorry for the rant. I feel very strongly about such things. And I don't like being cheated.
