People have been telling that the Battlestar Gallactica series is awesome. I saw the miniseries, that spawned the show but it kinda annoyed me. So I never really got into the series.
Maybe I should be more open minded? I’m willing to give it another chance, now that Season 2 just started. Especially since I just figured out that Grace Park is kinda hot. I guess this is as good reason to watch the show as any :P
Ok, I’m hoping I can explain their reasons for making Starbuck a girl. Bringing the story more up to date with current military environment that includes both men and women. Simple as that.
It also gives a nice opportunity to have richer interactions between your main characters.
Yeah, and it lets them have a strong, independent female character in the lead role.
If I remember correctly, the old BSG portrayed women mainly as wives / girlfriends / minor dramatic characters. So I guess this is also an attempt to bring the show up to speed with the spirit of politicall correctness to.
