What's old is new again. A new series based on the 1970s TV show Battlestar Galactica now airs on the SCI FI network to critical, as well as popular, acclaim. The show takes some large liberties with the characters and situations from the original, much beloved series. One of the most jarring changes is the changing of perhaps the most popular character, Starbuck, from a man to a woman. But critics were soundly silenced when the first show aired.
The popularity of the new series has boosted nostalgia for the older show, which still holds a place in the hearts of many science-fiction fans. And, riding this popularity, Majestic Studios has just released two new 12-inch action figures based on two of the original show's most beloved characters
