   No, you said the new versions was faithful to the original:   
      
         I see it as them being way too faithful to a piece of trash original   
      
   and as I've said, the original Battlstar Galactica never reached Earth, in   
   prehistory or otherwise, and as someone else pointed out the finale's   
   storyline pointed to it arriving after the moon landing.   
      
   It's not my fault if you can't say what you really mean and expect people   
   to mind read. Maybe you should sign up for communication classes along   
   with reading comprehension.   
      
   END OF STORY  :-\
