Oh, yippee! More proof of my last statement about dumbasses. :-\
The entire point was that Ron Moore's show shouldn't have been called
"Battlestar Galactica" because it was almot nothing like the original ...
that means it was a new show, and therefore should have had a new name. Of
course, such common sense goes right over the top of the heads of the
dumbasses, so you won't understand it either.
