   Re-imagining BSG was not actually Moore's idea - he had pitched a space   
   drama show, but the execs pushed the idea of a BSG redo.

   It's obvious that Moore has talent.   I am one of those classic BSG fans   
   that love the unique style of the show, and to me BSG was one of a kind.   
      
   New BSG to me was one fun show in one sense.  Always keeping you   
   wondering who not to trust next to the point even the writers did not   
   know.  :)   I REALLY try to see the characters as Bill, Lee, and Kara   
   rather than Adama, Apollo and Starbuck.   
      
   Seriously, Moore had the talent to make a show stand on it's own, and   
   many times I really wish he had been given that chance.   
      
   Because of the old name on this new idea, it's hard for me to fully   
   embrace.
