Howdy, nextceo,
Nice post. Well stated.
I am not entirely sure, without meaning to sound disrespectful, that a lot of fans blew things out of proportion. (I am aware that you stated that you don't know all of the ins and outs about how this new show came about). Many TOS Traditionalists do feel though that the existence of the new show was brought about in a very underhanded way.
Especially when one considers that a continuation show/movie was merely weeks away from actual shooting, with sets constructed, or at least partially constructed, and actors ready to go. I think some people have posted a sort of timeline as to what went down, but I don't know the links here.
After 9/11. things radically changed for the future of Battlestar Galactica. Those changes left a lot of fans sour (to say the least)
Respectfully,
Martok2112
