   Wow... you are more bitter than most classic fans I know.  I like it!  :P   
      
   Ummm... where to start on this?   Well, I'm a classic fan, and there is   
   some good activity on the internet for the classic fans and I basically   
   stick to that.   On one place called "Colonial Fleets" which is the hub   
   of the classic activity we normally don't talk about "that other   
   Galactica".  But the only person more bitter about the new series was   
   Dirk Benedict himself.  So in a thread we talked about our thoughts on   
   the new series, and here were my thoughts...

   Basically my comment comes around the idea that it is hard to get into   
   an environment where people who have never been to Earth, heading to   
   Earth, 100,000 years before our modern time are wearing suit and ties   
   and firing guns with bullets.   
      
   Just saying.  :)   
      
   Yeh, it sucks having to enter the search engine for "Battlestar   
   Galactica" and getting both shows.   But happy to say classic is still   
   around in a fan sense.
