This is true. First the good:
1) Good art
2) The concept that the colonials spoke a language close to Hebrew.
And now the bad:
1) Most of it.
2) Adama as much weaker than originally portrayed.
3) Troy as a irresponsible piece of felter carb.
4) Baltar calling Adama "Bill". Ohhh my.
Yeh there was a annoying tendency to mix TOS and re-imagined in this one. Baltar calling Adama "Bill"? Did they even have first names in the original series? Don't think so.
And so the Galactica gets nuked and blown to bits over Washington DC, and after Galactica and Earth join forces to defeat the Cylons, they take all the scrap and build a new Battlestar, that looks like the reimagined Galactica, only calling it the "Adama".
Yeh, I think I threw up a little.
