So, we're going to relaunch BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and....hang on....what?





Uhmmm, well we're going to relaunch .....Oh for fuck's sake. Why? Who

would watch more of that cheesy old shit. Wasn't GALACTICA 1980 bad

enough?





Well,. we were going to...look, sigh. who do you have signed on? Anyone? The original crew minus the dead commander Adama?





Well, we have Edward James Olmos and....Hang on...you're kidding

me...you have one of the finest actors in this country signed on for a

remake of BSG?





Yeah.





Olmos has not only been a defining force in good television and movie

acting over the last thirty years but he has been an inspiration and

example to Hispanic actors and viewers by showing that he can do all

the good hispanic roles AND all the good roles where race is irrelevant

and character is all. What he's showing with BSG is that good scripts

and sets and a great approach to a concept can become the best

television you;ve seen for a long time when married with a truthful and

empassioned performance form a stage and screen veteran such as

himself.
