The new Battlestar Galactica
REB — (archived)

I was just entering my teenage years when the original Battlestar Galactica. Being a space geek, I loved the show. Starbuck was my favorite character. When I heard about the new Battlestar Galactica coming out this year, I was excited about it until I heard Starbuck was a woman.

I thought, “Starbuck is a cigar smoken, card playing guy. How can a women play such a masculine character.”

I didn’t think Katee Sackhoff could pull it off, but after watching her as Starbuck, I am really impressed. I think she has the character down. My apologies to her for being so chauvinistic about her taking on a ‘man’s’ character.

I am also impressed with the whole show. I think it is very good. It has a totally different feel from the original series.
