Well, New Apollo looks cool but come on... look at old Apollo's hair. <b>Edge: Old BSG </b>

New Adama vs Old Adama

So who could be cooler than Edward James Almos? The guy spoke 8 words during the entire run of Miami Vice. He also played a teacher with very bad hair. Who could beat that? Lorne Greene, dude! He starred in Bonanza AND Alpo Dog Food Commercials! I dunno..too close to call
<b> Edge: Even</b>

New Starbuck vs Old Starbuck

New Starbuck is a pretty young thang with moxie. Dirk Benedict, the old Starbuck, was a pretty young thang with moxie. Tie breaker is who starred in A-Team? I pity the foo who don't pick Dirk!
<b>Edge: Old BSG</b>

New Cylon vs Old Cylon
http://www.mattuga.com/images/bsg/bsgpics/newcylon.jpg http://www.mattuga.com/images/bsg/bsgpics/oldcylon.jpg

Um... do you need me to spell it out. Hottie vs a walking toaster. I like bagels but not as much as hotties!
<b>Edge: New BSG</b>

New XO Tigh vs Old Colonel Tigh
http://www.mattuga.com/images/bsg/bsgpics/newtigh.jpg http://www.mattuga.com/images/bsg/bsgpics/oldcoloneltigh.jpg

A black man replaced by an old white guy? Where's Al Sharpton? But new tigh is an alcoholic and cranky. I LOVE CRANKY
<b>Edge: New BSG</b>

New Boomer vs Old Boomer

http://www.mattuga.com/images/bsg/bsgpics/newboomer.jpg http://www.mattuga.com/images/bsg/bsgpics/oldboomer.jpg

The BLACK MAN gets no breaks! What does the Sci Fi Channel have against the proud black man? Then again.. I only wanna spoon with one boomer...and she's HOT! Alas... Old Boomer was always cool and I'll show him loyalty. This MAN won't be keepin Boomer down!.
<b>EDGE: Old BSG</b>

New Baltar vs Old Baltar
http://www.mattuga.com/images/bsg/bsgpics/newbaltar.jpg http://www.mattuga.com/images/bsg/bsgpics/oldbalter.jpg

Hmm... New Baltar looks like a metrosexual. Old Baltar's eyebrows scare me.
<b>Edge: New BSG</b>

New Muffit vs Old Muffit
http://www.mattuga.com/images/bsg/bsgpics/oldmuffit.jpg

There is no new Muffit as of yet. THANK GOD! Look at that thing. What did they make that out of? Slurpee tops, shag rugs, and pipe cleaners?

<b>Edge: New BSG</b>

New Boxey vs Old Boxey
http://www.mattuga.com/images/bsg/bsgpics/newboxey.jpg http://www.mattuga.com/images/bsg/bsgpics/oldboxey.jpg

Jebus, look at their hair!! It hasn't changed! Horrible. Please let him find the Battlestar Barber

I haven't seen the new BSG, I'm sure it's good, but the original series was just so much fun, especially on a rainy day.

:lol I won't even tell you how long it told me to search for the images and crop them. Of course, the guy who made himself look like Agent Smith is making fun of me for having too much time on my hands? :rofl

[Promithcuous]

:rofl

[Bordick]

No no no Matt, he's Agent Smithe!

[Matt]

okay don't be a hobbit and just look at the photos, read my witty banter! it's GOLD, Jerry, GOLD! ($1 to the person who knows what that reference is too)

[Josh]

Your wife wrote the banner?

Can she replace you on the forum? ;)

That's greatness Matt. Best Matt post of the week!!!

heh.

Does anyone else think it is weird that they managed to find another old man to play Adama that is just as weird looking as the original Adama?

[masterthes]

Matt, you are no Kramer, but thank you for playing. :lol I haven't seen either BSG, plus I don't get the Sci-Fi channel (hopefully, it won't be long before they bring it to free cable), but nevertheless that was a killer post.

That's MacSmith to you :p

[Valkary]

I don't know if any of you remeber but the old moffit was tre COOL!

why you ask?

Cause it was played by a chimpanzee in a suit!

That's right, they taught this chimp to wear a suit and interact with the kid.

I don't know if that has ever been done before or since.

[crappertay]

probably highly illegal now

[Josh]

I'm surprised PETA isn't protesting retroactively! :lol

I didn't know that was what they did though. That's pretty cool.

[Matt]

http://www.mattuga.com/moffit.jpg

What he's doing to that chimpanzee is illegal in 44 states and 5 provinces of Canada.

[crappertay]

I didn't want to be the one to post that joke, but I know some depraved sicko would :lol

[crappertay]

Confession time: Just had to go check what 'moxie' meant. Worried it was some kind o' venereal disease or something, lol!

and you knew I'd be that sicko.

[Taln Hess]

Useless trivia - Noah Hathaway played the original kid. He also played Atreyu in the original Neverending Story (not the sucky sequels).

He's a cool guy who just opened his own motercycle chop shop type place. He was at DragonCon last year, his first convention appearance ever, and was absolutely blown away by all the fan attention he was getting considering he hadn't been in a major role since he was a kid and had given up acting long ago. We ran into him at one of the bars the DC people frequent and got to chat with him for a few minutes... very cool down to earth guy.

[Matt]

i'm bumping this thread. I need to repost the pictures. This is a quality thread.

[Noriko Takaya]

You know, I tried watching the old BSG once. It was hilarious, and not in the good way.
