Ladies and Gentlemen. Boy and Girls of all ages. This is the bout of the century! In this corner we have the ground breaking, classic, sometime corny, but the original Battlestar Galactica! Weighing in at 1 million tons, over 500 yarhens old and sporting dull grey shorts, this Galactica was accused of being a Star Wars rip-off and later became a pop culture extravaganza!




And in the other corner, we have the slightly cliché, re-envisioned, with characters that are way too flawed and graced with CGI effects is the new Battlestar Galactica! Weighing in at a marginal 1.2 million tons, only 50 years old and sporting the shining gun metal ribbed shorts, this Galactica is the hottest new show on television since Survivor!



Listen Galacticas, let’s keep this a clean fight. No launching Blue Squadron, FTL jumps, sneaking in Cylons that look human, or recruiting hordes of female shuttle pilots. This will be a battle of shows not turbolasers. Now, touch triad balls and come out fighting…
