To many of you this will probably not mean a thing. But I feel like I should talk a little about something that I am VERY excited about. Before I do, take a walk back in time….

It is the late Seventies and Star Wars was a smash hit in the theaters. Network television decides to get in on the success and rides the Star Wars coat tails with a series called Battlestar Galactia. It was on for a only a few years, but it made its mark.

Then fast forward 25 years and there is a mini series on the SciFi network which goes by the same name. There are some differences, but it still is recognizable with the original. Yeah, maybe Starbuck is now a woman, the special effects are much better and Lorne Green’s character has been replaced by Edward James Olmas , but there is the same threat to human kind. Maybe the Cylons are more high tech and there is a little more sex than the original, but you know the Galactia when you see it gliding through space. This was a great remake!

The mini series originally aired back in December of 2003 (I watched it the first time then), but was re-aired tonight on SciFi. This is all leading up to a new series beginning this Friday night on the same network. The first episode will air this Friday night (Jan. 14) at 9pm EST. Go check out the website here. Be sure to turn up your speaker volume. Friends, this is a good show…People Magazine even gave it 3.5 stars! It just really takes me back….I loved the original and can’t wait for the new series!
