In the episode with Count Iblis in it, what did apollo and starbuck see in that crashed ship? I have a hunch, but I'm not positive 

No one knows, right?

[NGTM-1R]

Except the writer. Maybe not even him though.

Now that I have watched the opening special and first 3 episodes (I am watching the 4th as I speak) of the new series, I am forced to say that the only thing that I like better in the original series was the theme song. I mean, the music for the new sereis is more of along the lines of bongos and humming.

The music theme for the new series better fits the situation. Do you think that the music should be happy and relatively cheerful (like it was in the original) after a nuclear holocaust?

[Polpolion]

Depends which side you're on...

[IceFire]

Oh.

I admit you're right, but imagine if it had BOTH! I mean, you can't have a sci-fi without spaceships or high tech lasers? And who dosen't like a nice plot with real people?

All that tech stuff is the background...the scenery...its what you introduce as just being part of the universe.  You should get to know the universe through the characters.  How the Phaser works and what frequency its modulated at isn't that important to the plot.  In the original Star Trek they didn't do that.  Phasers were stun or kill...high or lower power and that was it.  Fan tech manuals can go and expand on that stuff but the TV show should focus on people in small groups and large.

The new BSG still has the old theme music. It now exists in-universe as some sort of patriotic Colonial march.

It's the Colonial Anthem. And it's at least been remastered. The new one is of much better quality.
