I'm right with you Jesse.
The one and only thing that's kept me from watching Battlestar Galactica...is because they changed it. They didn't just remake it...they completely threw out the central premise of the original and took it somewhere different (not to mention making Boomer an Asian chick, for no apparent reason). If the show was called Battleship Phoenix, and Olmos was playing Admiral Brick...I'd be all over it. But I just can't get past my revulsion that they took someone's art and changed it.
Its why I can't stand movies that deviate from books in ways that were totally unnecessary (like most of the 3 musketeer movies, or Starship Troopers) although I have come to terms with "different mediums" reasons.
Its why I don't like song remakes unless the new artist is trying very hard to sound as close to the original artist as possible.
So yeah...whatever that is...me too.
