I bet Ron D. Moore and David Eirk are casting Star Trek actors, to attract Tekkies to the Battlestar Galactica ‘mini’, it sure ain’t exciting fans of BSG.

If ‘Voyager’ can last for seven years, Scifi’s BSG abomination could turn into a series, too.

Plus, the similarities to Star Trek do not end there. Is Cylon sex spy Number 6 of 12 is not to subtle cryptic nod to Seven of Nine (boobs) from Voyager, not #6 from The Prisoner?

Techno-bullshit: Weapon coils for the Battlestar? Yes, Coils which are dropped from the Battlestar Galactica, it does smell like, Scotty/Jordy/Tripp's 'Warp Core'.

Plus the Galactica vents plasma/fuel in a maneuver against an enemy. "Aye Captain, I venting plasma as fast as I can".

If it looks like Star Trek, can Trekkies be far behind.

GEEZ, Battlestar Galactica was accused of being a copy of Star Wars, George Lucas even sued. Now Ron D. Moore and David Eirk are using Trek tactics, maybe even Trek actors?

Wait a minute, I’m a Trek fan. But I sure do not need to make Battlestar Galactica a poor step child of Star Trek.

Ps. Is that President Laura Roslin to be portrayed by Majel Barret Roddenberry, why not?
