BATTLE STAR GALACTICA
Various Issues, Various Writers and (of course) Various Artists
Ooookayy! Seems that there's this remake of one of my fond childhood memories on the Sci Fi Channel and everyone is hooting and hollering about it. I do not like remakes. The last one I truly appreciated would have had to be John Carpenter's THE THING. A remake of THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD by Howard Hawks for the cretins in the audience. I liked the cheesiness of The Cylons and how they came across as humanoid Daleks. I liked Lorne Greene leading the wagon train … um; I mean fleet of space ships towards Earth. (Sorry, Bonanza moment) It was cheesy fun and I watched as much of it as I could get my hands on. Do I watch it now? Noooooo. My memories are probably tainted with age and a little dementia so I prefer to keep it that way. Do I need to see the new series? See the above for your answer to that. So, the comic really didn't have much of a chance with me. I read them and they were duller than Aquaman comics from the 70's. Almost nodded off just typing that last sentence. So, I do not think I'm the market for this particular comic. I leave this one to the mindless automatons that droll over each new episode like it was…well, something good. Sorry
