I actually love the original BSG. And the new one started out strong but the writers clearly didn't have a plan for where they wanted things to go despite the opening credits insisting the Cylons have a plan.
Agreed. Not to mention the original BSG was strangled in its crib for costing too much. Something a production in the aughts didn't have to worry much about.
For every topic of A vs B where A and B are related in some way, no matter how small, there exists an argument C where two people take increasingly opposed positions about which is better.
Also Vim > Emacs, the new BSG was better than the old BSG, TNG is the best Trek, and all the other hashed-out flamewars of the 90's and 2000's. :)
