I was never a fan of Battlestar Galactica. I’ve only seen a teeny tiny bit of it, and thought it was too cheezy even for my taste (same reaction I had to Red Dwarf, actually). Which is good, because it sounds like the new SciFi Channel miniseries is going to be really, really silly. An excerpt from Wired’s writeup on the thing:
“We realized the only way we could improve on the original is if the Cylons could have sex,” quipped co-executive producer David Eick at Tuesday night’s Los Angeles premiere. The chrome-domed “walking toasters” from the original TV series are succeeded by — well, really hot blond chicks, who infiltrate human society to engineer its doom.
Hm…society is under siege by Victoria’s Secret models? Sounds like a job for Austin Powers, not a rag tag group of misfits and their token hot chicks.
