The Original Battlestar Galactica is better than the reboot.

I really prefer the original 1970's version of Battlestar Galactica to the 2005 reboot. I mean, they turned Starbuck into a woman for goodness sake! The part of Starbuck was originally created for Dirk Benedict. They created the character after meeting Dirk especially for Dirk to play. Even then, ABC I think it was, wanted someone else to play Starbuck even after the part was created for Dirk. But eventually common sense won out and, after a bit of wrangling, Dirk got the part! I am so glad he did because Dirk IS Starbuck and there can be no other! He plays the part so well. A trickster, a gambler, a womanizer - but you just can't help loving him! I also love that theme tune to the original Battlestar Galactic. That tune is so iconic. And they changed that in the reboot too. No. The original is definitely better. Some people might say it's very 70's. Well, it is, but I don't care, because it is so good! Sometimes the old series are better than some of the stuff they put on now. And ofcause I'm a big Dirk Benedict fan!
