Introduction

I've been a BSG fan going back decades (really) but it's the new "re-imagined" show that really catches my attention. I'm also a Browncoat, so some of you may already know me from that Meetup group.

Who is your favourite character?

Admiral Adama. The interplay between the Admiral and Laura Roslin is wonderful. Edward James Olmos has done a wonderful job with the role.

Do you prefer the new Battlestar Galactica, or the old version?

I love the new show, but I think the old one holds up pretty well. Just don't mention that 1980 version in my hearing...

What is your favourite episode?

So hard to choose...Unfinished Business (the boxing one) was so good! The VFX sequence from Exodus Pt 2 with Galactica dropping into the atmosphere was amazing.

What Val is saying about this Meetup Group

We found Earth! We like our version better...no nuking + coffee!

    Classic Battlestar Galactica

    "Re-watching the original, I was really struck by how similar Lorne Greene and Edward James Olmos' performances were as Adama. Such gravitas! Really needed to counterbalance the cheese..."

    Favorite Episode (s)?

    "Hi Tom! It is hard to choose, and I'm not ready to go back yet and re-watch it all, but I would chalk "Exodus, Pt2" as right up there. That action sequence where Galactica jumped into the atmosphere and out again was just so stunning...."
