I liked that bit where they edited Cylon ships over stock footage from
"Earthquake". Made a convincing alien attack...

As for G1980 on DVD, I think they should get one or two of the original
actors and record a few new scenes - a 'framing' story, presenting the
whole of G1980 as a virtual reality simulation of what would have
happened had contact with Earth not gone well.

FWIW, this is exactly what Richard Hatch's continuation of the original
series would have done.

Better than that, IMHO.

If you don't like it , then don't buy it.

Nobody's forcing you to buy it.

But don't force people who actually want it from getting it.

If it's ever released, and you don't like it, then don't buy it.

But quit trying to force people who want it from being able to get it,
by wanting it never released at all.
