Just wanted to give a quick feedback about the convention in Bottrop/Germany we talked about in this thread earlier this year. The weekend has finally arrived, but things have changed. Dirk has cancelled and won't be there I'm still going, because the tickets are paid, but I'm disappointed and not very enthusiastic. All I'm hoping for now is that Richard Hatch will cheer me up a little

Thx, amyk. It was really a shock, after looking forward to this event since February Richard Hatch - Captain Apollo from the old Battlestar Galactica? No? Hmmm. How can anyone not know him? LOL. That's fine, don't worry. I just returned from the event today and it was as good as it could get without Dirk being there. Richard was lovely and he hugged me closely twice. ;D The other guests I didn't know, but I liked one of the photos Robert Knepper (Prison Break) had on offer and he was such a nice guy, so I bought one of him, too. The remaining budget went into Richard-pics. ;D And now I'm hoping that Dirk will make up for it and come next year!!

Hatch was in the New BSG as well--as Tom Zarrick.

Unfortunately, yes. But the new BSG isn't my thing at all. I tried honestly to watch it, but gave up after two episodes

Oh, I frakin' LOVED it. I think it's my favorite tv show. So well written BUT if you don't watch them in order they are hopelessly confusing.

They're both pretty fun, Doc. The old BSG was fun in that cheesy 70's kinda way...and Dirk Benedict is HOT. The new one is awesome and suspenseful and populated with female characters that kick !@#.

As far as I know, I've never seen any episode of either of the BSGs either.....I wouldn't mind watching the one with DB, though!

Amy--I think you'd like the old one! The new one...maybe not so much...little edgier as you can tell by the two video links I posted.

hmmm...I don't want to start a discussion old/new BSG here, there are enough elsewhere. This is my very personal approach to this topic: The new show was too dark and twisted for my taste, it felt like every single character had huge problems and was edgy and miserable. I liked the hope and friendship in the old show a lot better, the good old fashioned heroes. Call it cheesy, I liked it, it had a much more positive feeling to it... Beisdes, the new show didn't feel like Sci-Fi to me, they wore normal clothes, suits and ties, even the cylons looked human - not very futuristic. And - castrating Starbuck and Boomer is a sacrilege I will never forgive them. NEVER. btw, celine, your links don't work for me. one is blocked in Germany as it seems, the other one is gone completely. But it's not like I need examples anyway...

Mossy, I believe you and I probably think alike about these issues.
The links worked for me, and I think I would really enjoy the original BSG!
