It was utter garbage not even remotely worth watching, and certainly 
not "Battlestar Galatica" ... more like an over-serious, over-sexed, 
dismal parody of the proper original show.

So it's not a "reboot" (as said above) at all, but simply a spin-off show.

And both will be more utter garbage not remotely worth watching.

Nope. Don't give a damn ... it's utter gabage that simple craps all 
over the original show - the show that is the *real* "Battlestar 
Galactica".  :o(
