Okay, here's what you do for this game: You have to "ban" the person who posted above you for an outrageous, silly, or funny reason. Got it?
Banned because some company made a cartoon called Avatar a few years back. Lasted 3 years.
Banned because I watched every single one of those episodes. Last animated series I watched with intense interest. Never bothered to see the movie.
The Admiral
Banned for actually bothering to watch that crap. It was stupid on so many levels.
Banned for I was 9 years old with nothing to do.
It was better than a lot of that other crap.
The Admiral
banned for it's only harmful if you do it with money you can't afford to throw away.
Oddly, Jews learn gambling at a young age. We treat it like a kid's past time.
Banned for I used to, but people didn't like them so I stopped.
The Admiral
Banned by the law of Pot-Kettle Light Absorption Similarity. Call me incomprehensible will you, rassafrassa mutter-mutter...
p.s. Star Wars started a long, horrible nosedive into mediocrity after episode IV. George Lucas forgot that he was a respectable whore and started acting like some kind of prophet of profit. Very, very sad. I'm an 'anti-Draak' here. Old-school BSG was kids' stuff but the reboot was awesome, not least because it ditched the candy-coating. Star Wars started out as a visionary trailblazer and ended up more like Micky D (mouse or hamburger or both).
banned for not finishing sentences.
I'm okay with the dark and gritty, but to have no characters which you can at least imagine yourself being able to comfortably have a drink with, that's pretty messed up. The original at least had heroes. I had trouble finding one that could come close. The best was Apollo, but it seemed like he was constantly in a state of self-delusion or taking LSD off screen.
I don't hate on Star Wars as much as Swicord. It's more like, okay, the first three were fun movies. Whatever. The prequels made me want to beat my head over a post.
As for pot-kettle: Just because a thief calls another thief a thief, doesn't means he's wrong.
Banned because the prequels were embarrassing.
Whether or not you like the re-imagined BSG series is a matter of personal opinion. My favorite character by far was Commander/Admiral Adama. Followed by Baltar, just because after everything he did, he still got to be an 'enlightened' being.

Banned because you point directly to the different strokes for different folks thing. To some folks, cilantro is a wonderful addition many dishes, but to others it's just something that looks pretty much like parsley but tastes like soap.
I had pretty a similar problem with the '70s BSG because I can't relate to cartoon heroes as real people. I can imagine having drinks with the new Baltar, Starbuck, or Adama because they are all much more human than their Cold War-era predecessors. And that despite the fact that they are fighting 'Cosmic Machine' enemies that are much more nuanced and scarier than the clumsy toasters in Larson's original work.
Banned because I'm pretty much with Swicord here.
I did not, however, like either Adama, for exactly the reasons he mentions- they seemed too much like cardboard heroes here.
Kara was wonderful, as was Roslin, UNTIL THE LAST PART OF THE SHOW. Then both of them started acting more like traditional feminine figures. Baltar.... I dunno. He made a great antihero, but I'm also very sensitive to the way scientist are portrayed- I think I'd like his characterization a lot better if he had another profession.
