Yup, agree with the rest of the comments here. TV science fiction has a whole lot of problems, but saying Battlestar Galactica is bad because Starbuck is a woman... really. The new show is aimed at an audience 10 years older then the original, and at least for the first couple of seasons it had a hell of a story.
The irony is there might be something to the idea that sf is mostly for men and trying to make it more unisex will spoil it. But this kind of articles will definitely not help.
- jkmcf 17y agoI was initially very hesitant about a female Starbuck, if only because he was my favorite character in the original. After a few episodes, I became a fan of the character and the acting. The retelling of BSG required a big adjustment for fans who grew up watching the original series. You may disagree with some of their plot directions, and perhaps the ending, but unless you haven't grown up yet you have to admit the series as a whole was at least an A-, if not the best SF show ever. It's like the recently revamped Dr Who: the companions are more empowered and involved, rather than being one dimensional plot tag alongs/eye candy.
