The new BATTLESTAR GALACTICA may not be the definitive BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, but it is an equally legitimate BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.

I am forced to respectfully disagree with you, Martok. The RDM show is not legitimate
Battlestar Galactica any more than Tim Burton's misnamed film is
Planet of the Apes. I hear that Burton's new movie based on a certain Roald Dahl book is called
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory rather than
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I like that. Acknowledges that he's doing something different. Stealing the BSG title for RDM's softcore Peyton Place in Space was nothing more than Bait and Switch in my book. It remains to be seen whether that Bait and Switch will ultimately pay off.
I fully accept that there are people who enjoy the RDM show. There were people who liked
Ishtar. But I will never, ever, ever acknowledge the RDM show as "legitimate"
Galactica. It ain't. It's stolen property. Just ask Eric Christopher James.
