	Personally, I haven't seen the original (sorry, maybe I'm not a serious enough fan), but first off, I think Adama is practically the most solid and principled character in the show. A little hesitation just makes him human (which, when I last checked, is what he's supposed to be playing). Secondly, I always thought the despair, violence and dysfunction is what made the show so real (real where it counts). It's a show about humans fighting aliens in space. There's very little that can be done wrong regarding fighting aliens, but everything can be done wrong portraying humans. Thankfully, I think very little has. Again, I'm sorry for bringing such a off-topic convo here, but I'm really interested in what you other guys think. Especially if you've seen both. Thanks in advance.
