For me, #1 is the only possibility. I can "deal with" the mini having been made and having aired (thanks Katee  ). What I can't agree with is that it's BSG. It's like watching a movie advertised as a "WW II" movie, set in Vietnam, and telling me that the Vietnamese are Germans and Hanoi is Berlin. Granted it's a war movie but, that's where the similarity ends.

it looks like about half the folks so far didn't like the miniseries, but there is a large proportion of fans that like both.

I like TOS but love the mini Can't wait till the series start. I haven't been this excited about a series since Stargate SG-1.
I look forward to EJO as Commander Adama though Lorne Greene will always have a soft spot in my heart as the original Adama. I think EJO is a more realistic.
Can't wait...can't wait...can't wait..... |

#2. I don't support the mini, so I can't go with three; and I don't wish to have a strong opinion against the mini itself, because it is working for us in some ways, so I couldn't go with one.

I voted for #2, just because I enjoyed the mini, but I wish they would have left it at that. Making the mini into a full series is a bummer.

Safe to Comment?
Ah, Ha!
This is where I meant to put these comments . . .
Okay, if Titon can 'come clean' about not being 'squeaky clean', . . .
("Now it's time to get "me" back." . . . )
then I can too. Check this out:
I like TOS because is was a TV show that my family watched together. We all enjoyed it. Despite what I like about the Mini, I don't feel comfortable watching it with my 5-year-old son. Battlestar Galactica was sometimes our "Family Home Evening", . . . yeah, thats right, I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Sure I could identify with all the Mormon hints that Glen Larson dropped in the story, but at the same time, ALL my friends liked the show too. Not only is it something like, Science Fiction, but my family liked it and my friends liked it too. I was as if the whole world came together in one big happy convention.
Why would I like and support a continuation? Because I believe that Glen Larson and Richard Hatch and Tom DeSanto would want to make a production that more than one age group could enjoy. I would support a Continuation because I believe that chances are that I could probably sit down with my son to watch some quality entertainment.
So, hows that for "Squeaky Clean"?
And with that being said, I will log off now and go watch The Hand of God with my son. I look forward to seeing what kinds of replies this message will get. I hope that I won't get flamed, or as Michael Savage calls it, assaulted with "verbal arson". I only now have felt medium-comfortable about saying what I feel.
Whew, that was too much. Time for some 'Starbuck time'.
Ethan
Of course since I wrote these words, I have already watched Hand of God. I treasure my 'Starbuck time'. 
As I asked previously, "So, hows that for "Squeaky Clean"?".

Will, assuming an RDM series happens, fans of that incarnation have a place, or is that something best left for other boards more uniform in their fandom?

The mini works for me. If it helps launch Hatch/Larson project, go for it, I'll watch.

Thus far the poll pretty much validates what I have though about Battlestar Galactica fans. About half the people like the mini and half don't but more importantly about 80% of the mini fans are TOS fans. If half the regular posters here today came because of the mini you increased your TOS/Continuation internet fan base by 40% thanks to the mini. I call that a very positive development for any continuation effort and the franchise in general. 8 out of 10 newbies are your brothers, many just didn't realize it.

Based on these poll results to date, I believe any continuation efforts of TOS will be based on the reactions of fans (and viewers) to the mini, some of which love the original series.
We can't separate out the two groups anymore if we want Galactica in all its forms & incarnations!
So Say We All! and With the Blessings of the Lords of Kobol!

P.S. I am a fan of the original. I purchased the oversized Cylon helmeted DVD set and the 4 volume Galactica CD by Stu Phillips. While $80.00, its worth it. It not only contains the pilot soundtrack, but scores from most of the episodes. You can purchase it at www.footlight.com. Its worth it!!! |

My only copy of the Stu Phillips soundtrack is on 8-track tape.

There is also a cheaper CD of BSG: TOS pilot which was re-released right before the mini aired. You can also purchase it at www.footlight.com. I believe it is under $19. |

Actually, that's the feature film that was recut from the 3-hour pilot, Saga of a Star World. It was this film that first got released in Europe and Canada (if I'm not mistaken), and around the US. It does not contain all of the footage that can be seen in the pilot on the DVD boxed set.

Good to hear from you Tracy. Any word on if Dirk's overcome the inertia between himself and his next bit of writing? (has he set pen to paper or fingers to keyboard yet? Or if you are any closer to the audiobook order for the "Fishing" book?

it looks like TWO-THIRDS of BG1 fans didn't like BG03.
BUT A THIRD DID!!!!
That's important if you want to support the idea of a continuation movie right?
(Though fan based suppoert don't seem THAT effective) |

How do I like my Galactica?
Well, like a gator on skis ripping through the heavens, with Commander Apollo on her bridge and Colonel Starbuck by his side. Intrepid warriors slipping through the void in their trusty Vipers, seeking that shining planet known as Earth.
Yea, that’s my vision.
