exactly the same thing next year.

It's by no means just the BBC either. For example, Moore-Ron's
awful "Battlestar Galactica" reboot changed 'Starbuck' into a
woman. Those are just two of many many examples.

Along with about half the characters recognizable from the original
show. And they made everything the exact opposite. Instead of the
Galactica being the flagship, it was so archaic it was being turned
into a museum. Instead of being robots, the Cylons were biological constructs. Instead of being an evil genius, Baltar was a sniveling
coward and a moron. And so on.
Can't complain about the cheese-ectomy, though.

Whether or not any individual person likes it, *that* is how
Larson created it to be ... that's what "Battlestar Galactica"
*is* and always will be.
Some over-egoed talentless moron comes along later and *thinks*

"sequel" shows, which may or may not be stupid ideas too.)

Comic book also have idiotic reboots where they change

now, Batman changed from ordinary comic superhero into a
dismally dark "Dark Knight" version, etc.
Even in books they release a new book in an on-going series, but
stupidly give it a completely differecnt cover design that doesn

books with the new cover).

Because, of course, the name belongs to you, so you get ot decide
what is and isn't suitable for its use. How much did you pay for
it?

Most of which is owned by movie studios these days.
Comic book also have idiotic reboots where they change
their existing characters. There are a few different Spider-men
now, Batman changed from ordinary comic superhero into a
dismally dark "Dark Knight" version, etc.
That's as inherent as part of the genre as "if they're dead,
they're not dead, and if you have a body, that proves they're not
dead."
It's like complaning that cop shows have chase scenes.
Even in books they release a new book in an on-going series, but
stupidly give it a completely differecnt cover design that doesn
match the existing ones (and of course they re-release the older
books with the new cover).
It's not like the cover artists read the books, or even the short
description of the scene they're supposed to illustrate. Hell, most
of them don't read the title.
One of the advantages of ebooks is that I can *change* the cover to
whatever I want.
Most of it is pure seflish greed to shovel more money into their
own pockets and screw the original fans who made it popular in
the first place. :-(
That being the point of bunning a business, after all.
You seem to be suffering from a common delusion in fandom: that
*you* own the property, not the people who actually do.

Whether or not any individual person likes it, *that* is how
Larson created it to be ... that's what "Battlestar
Galactica" *is* and always will be.
I won't argue with the idea that the remake would have been
more enjoyable if they'd called it something else.
Calling it something else would have been sensible,
unfortunately neither Hollyweird nor management are ever
sensible. :-(
And never has been.
You mean like Battlestar Galactica 1980?
In terms of proper "Battlestar Galactica", the best idea would
have been to do the original idea of a proper follow-on show
(that had already been started!) ... or not do it at all.
Nope, that was also rebooted drivel that had little to do with
the original show.
I meant a proper sequel show, ignoring that "Galactica 1980
garbage, like the show that was originally planned and had begun
work on before Moore-Ron took over.
Some over-egoed talentless moron comes along later and
*thinks* they know what "it should have been" is simply
ridiculous, selfish, and obnoxious. If Moore-Ron and the
studio (mis)managament wanted to create such a totally
different show, then they should have created his *own* show
with it's own name, not butcher someone else's work and try
to pretend it's the same thing.
Given that it got the highest ratings of any show in history
of the Syphilis Channel (at the time, and possibly still), it
apparently had something going for it, whether you whine
about it like a two year old with a dirty diaper or not.
As above, whether or not any individual person likes it or
wether it was more popular or not aren't actually relevant
Except to the people who spend millions of dollars making it.
Relevant to the point. :-\
- the point was that Moore-Ron's show is *not* "Battlestar
Galactica" and never will be.
Because, of course, the name belongs to you, so you get ot
decide what is and isn't suitable for its use. How much did you
pay for it?
The name belong to the original product and its creator. It was
created by him to be exactly as it was.
It's the same with all the other imbecilic actual "reboots"
Hollywerid keeps churning out. (As opposed to "remakes" and
"sequel" shows, which may or may not be stupid ideas too.)
Hollywood ran out of ideas decades ago, and is too cheap to
buy more. That's the inevitable end game of turning a
creative art into a business, especially one that involves
that much money.
It isn't even just Hollyweird. It's the whole entertainment
industry.
Most of which is owned by movie studios these days.
Some of it is becoming owned by the electronics manufacturers
(Sony, Apple) and web-retailers (Amazon).
Comic book also have idiotic reboots where they change
their existing characters. There are a few different
Spider-men now, Batman changed from ordinary comic superhero
into a dismally dark "Dark Knight" version, etc.
That's as inherent as part of the genre as "if they're dead,
they're not dead, and if you have a body, that proves they're
not dead."
It's like complaning that cop shows have chase scenes.
Completely different.
Even in books they release a new book in an on-going series,
but stupidly give it a completely differecnt cover design that
doesn match the existing ones (and of course they re-release
the older books with the new cover).
It's not like the cover artists read the books, or even the
short description of the scene they're supposed to illustrate.
Hell, most of them don't read the title.
I was talking more about the design style of the cover, as well
as the physical size of the book in some cases.
One of the advantages of ebooks is that I can *change* the
cover to whatever I want.
Defeats the purpose since you can't have them sitting in a row
on the book shelf.
Most of it is pure seflish greed to shovel more money into
their own pockets and screw the original fans who made it
popular in the first place. :-(
That being the point of bunning a business, after all.
No, the purpose of running a business is to satisfy the customer
You seem to be suffering from a common delusion in fandom: that
*you* own the property, not the people who actually do.
I never said anything about "owning" it.
