I know it may be a little too early for some to decide, but I know of some who has already decided. So, which one is your favorite, and why?

If I has to vote now I would say the original....this new series hasn't been around long enough yet....so I will wait a little while longer before casting my vote

There is a reason why I call it BSG n BSG2.0.
BattleStar Galactica hands down, no ifs ands or buts.
Sure, I like 2.0. Yet to me it is not Galactica except in name only. If the original was made today with the tech we use now, It would be alot better. Yet as the original was always at a rush in production ( as said in the interviews on the DvD set) and not having the budget ( which hampers any show from being all it can be) needed due to beancounters helped to ruin it. Scripts in need of rewriting cause you have no more cylon outfits cause you blew em up, yet cant make anymore cause they wont give the money. Yet they want more episodes, even though they arent willing to back the show, leads to some interesting creative writing.
Sure the show coulda had more interesting stories. Yet it did only last so long on TV, and they did the best they could with what little they had to work with.And as we know.....$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$......Makes all the final decisions for anything....As Money makes the world go round

I choose the new one....Although I loved the original, I was a bit younger and didn't learn to appreciate it aas I would now, and I do watch them on SCIFI channel marathons....However, I choose the new one. To me it is more realistic and dramatic, it shows the turth in the possiblities. Case in pont, when the Madam Pres was chalking the number of people...and she ended it with one addition...I thought that was a very true emotion...that out of all the teror of the war, a birth and a hope for a future emerged....It has a more dark yet, human feel to it.

I finally made a decision. I voted for the original. I am officially stating that I don't like the new one. I have even removed it from my line up of recording on Friday nights. I gave it as much of a chance as I could, and just don't like it I may change my mind later on, but for now I wont be watching it. I find it boring and would rather watch grass grow. Sorry to those that like it, I mean no offence Maybe if it makes to Season 4 or five I'll give it another chance. So what else is going on? Kapt~`'-

The current incarnation of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA is more dramaturgically consistent than the original series, & shows the consequences of the various characters' actions & inactions, all of which makes for more Dramatic Conflict.

I'd have to agree with you there. It is like one long story, just as life is.

It has to be dark and depressing in order for the humans to finally rise up and destroy the Cylons somewhere down the road. I mean, real life war, real life genocide isn't comedy.
