New raiders and basestars?
They messed with the spinning tops? and THE RAIDERS? (cannot think of a more wonderfully mobile, menacing enemy space ship than the flying half-clam raiders. I hope Dykstra comes to Galacticon, I'd love to know how they made the models do all they did.

Becoming more glad I'm not watching this fake BSG.

(Olmos is right, some things are too painful. If only they'd fess up and change the names & title of the show to the new universe it is).

And I was't terribly impressed. He seemed pretty flippant in some of his answers, but then he's probably not allowed to say much and wants to come across as funny.

I have to agree that getting away from the "man in a suit" look isn't that bad an idea. I wouldn't mind seeing what a CGI Centurion could do...

But only in a Battlestar Galactica movie. The REAL Battlestar Galactica.

I'm also disappointed they're messing with the Cylon ship designs - those basestars and raiders were awesomely, menacingly designed.

There is so little to recognize in this travesty... It's not BSG, and it's a crime to call it that.

I also don't like them messing with the ship designs but one of the guys working on this thinks the new raider is the best design of them all. There are some things he described that I don't like but it seems like they put a good effort into creating a good enemy fighter.

The Galactica is the design that everyone but Ron seems to hate. The most favorable description I've heard is that its a huge insult to the original ship.

The guys doing this really hopes Ron realizes his chosen Galactica design just doesn't work.

Another thing that sucks from the that font of genius called Ron, don't let them change the design Ron! I want to laugh my ass off like I did when I saw the costume designs!

Dumbass.
