Why do our earliest impressions leave so great a mark on us? Maybe it was because my grandma worked for the Red Cross and there were lots of them there, but I cannot help but remember lots and lots of boxes. And most of them had this strange writing and an arrow pointing up. Of course, that young I couldn't read and it was all a mystery, but somehow I instinctively knew that the box must be presented with the arrow pointing up. Seems like we all know instinctively certain things should be a certain way.
No wonder then I have been perplexed over the past few years with so many different approaches to bringing back BSG. Everyone has a different idea, but like those boxes of my youth, we can always tell which way is up, and which is not. The box of BSG seems inverted now and its contents mangled beyond recognition, at least to me. Why is it so hard to see that the best way to present something is the way it was intended?
Fans are like boxes too. Only our sign reads, Fragile - Handle with Care. It's easy to break something that depends on you.

P.S. I posted this at Sci-Fi, don't know if it will make it
