I just saw the OSA banners with the original Starbuck and Apollo from the 70s!!! I used to be such a Starbuck fangirl. *le sigh* Thats why I never got into the new show - Starbuck is a GIRL.

Yeah and even Dirk Benedict gave his err... benediction! Saw some pix and interview way back then where the two met or something. I was a big Starbuck fan too but I think the new one, girl or not, pulls it off.
And it's the same with Boomer, Al. She's a girl.
do.

Well, Col. Tigh is now white but still a bloke, and while some may argue that Athena is now Dee, I think Lt. Gaeta (a guy) better fits the bill.  Plus the fact that Athena was Apollo's sister in the original and in this one Apollo marries Dee, it would be pretty weird.
Other than that, the commander of the battlestar Pegasus is also a woman. Still the Cain name but a woman.
But to answer your question, they did make Starbuck's love interest a man. He's not Cassiopeion but he was 'saved' by Starbuck and they shagged and even got hitched.
do.

I tried to be discrete, but please feel free to delete that comment if you think it's too spoilery! It *is* a serious spoiler for folks who haven't seen the latest season.  |

I still have all of the original eps recorded on VHS. Course since they're on VHS - they might not work anymore lol But I have them!!

The original shows were probably before your time. It was on back in 1978 or 1979? It was a big deal because it was one of the first serious Sci Fi shows on regular TV other than Star Trek.

That's *one* of the reasons I never got into the new show. In general I'm just bitter and hanging onto the past.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Starbuck a woman?? Thats like making Aragorn a woman. Pfft!

SciFi shows the new one, but I don't think I've seen them drag out an episode of the original since the new one started. They used to play it occasionally, though. Maybe they'll start again if they run out of really, really bad movies...
