This ain't your daddy's Battlestar Galactica...

I was just kickin' around the Sci-FI Channel website, and remembered, "Oh yeah! That new Battlestar Galactica is on next week." So, I was poking around in the mini site for it, and now I'm totally excited to see it. But, I gotta tell you - it ain't the same old show.

Here's are some observations:
1. The ships and cylons look pretty similar to the old show - which is good, because they are still rad today.
2. Instead of the pansy robot, Lucifer in the old show there's a sexy femme-bot named "Number Six" (because "Seven of Nine" was probably taken).
3. The most noticeable change is obviously that Starbuck is a female characters now (so is Boomer, but let's face it - even back then Boomer was sort of a female character). I don't mind though, I think that's what they need to "mix it up" a little bit. There's no word as to whether or not "Number Six" and "The New Starbuck" will be clawing at each other this season. We can only hope.

Oh yeah! There's also a nice picture of "The Old Starbuck" and "The New Starbuck" together - drinking at Starbucks. Yeah, it's a weird marketing thing, but that got me thinking...
How many stupid kids are going to watch this show next week and say to their parents, "That is so retarded. They named her after Starbuck's coffee!" I'd pay money to watch a weird-obsessive parent smack their kid after hearing that.
