Mr. Benedict,

You nailed it. They have lost their morality and have lost their soul and they are a reflection of the "public school values" of today. The people who have posted nonsense in the comments have no ability to grasp what they have missed and that is a shame.

[...] much more that can be said about this, but rather than write pages and pages, everyone should read what Dirk Benedict, the original and only Starbuck had to say about it in a piece called, Lt. Starbu…. Run, do not walk to that webpage — it’s that [...]

Dirk, first let me say i was a big fan of both shows, and i literally boycott the so called "re-imagination" of all the old classic TV shows that were trashed these days. What shocks me the most that no one is even trying to stop all this from happening, and i believe it's because they all got synthesized and need bigger "bang" to get an emotional response.

I think that if we took the original show, update the CGI, we'd get a show that would beat the new show hands down! and all that without altering a single line from it! I own the original show on TV with all it's movies and love every minute of it even today!

Best Wishes,
a Fan from Israel

Ahahahaha! I know this is old but it's still so funny.

Could you be any more pathetically sexist and bitter? Katee Sackhoff kicked your ass; accept it.

Face it, faceguy. You are old and "demodé". I was a fan of the first Galactica show, but it was a childish story, with plain characters (yes, including the Starbuck-womanizing-faceman role character). And the new Starbuck rocks!

There's a reason actors are paid for their looks and not their intelligence; as evidenced here, most are sorely lacking in the latter. Take your anti-woman claptrap and shove it up your ass, provided you can find it with both hands.

Mr. Benedict–back in the 1980s I saw your performance as HAMLET and read with surprise an interview in which you claimed Olivier didn't understand the role. Quite simply, you were terrible in that role and clearly understood little or nothing about the play. Your disparaging remarks about the re-imagined BSG are in the same vein. It was a show that took ideas seriously, viewed women as something other than girlfriends and nurses, and realized that finding a way through despair and difficult situations is much more impressive than any combination of smiles, winks and saccharine bromides. Seemed to me the new show was filled to the brim with interesting, strong characters of both genders dealing with the essential premise of the show (i.e. survivors of a genocide looking for a new home) seriously. I don't doubt some people take their fandom of this (like any) show too far, but then you are taking the time to actually disparage all those who *like* the show so you can hardly complain if they defend it and themselves.
