I thought these pictures of Dirk Benedict (the original Starbuck from the 1978 Battlestar Galactica series), with Katee Sackhoff (the new Starbuck from the 2004 ‘reimagined’ Battlestar Galactica series) at Starbucks were compelling.
I snapped these from the BattleStar Galactica Finale Special that aired on Space TV on March 20, 2009. It looks like they was taken towards the beginning of the ‘reimagined’ series given how young Katee Sackhoff is in them.

So many Starbucks make my head spin. I haven't seen BSG yet, but it's pretty high up on my list. As soon as I finish up with Farscape and Stargate Atlantis, I plan on watching it from start to finish (include original episodes.)
Hey, invite me over when you get to the reimagined season. I'd like to watch it back to back to back. I'll get the pizza if you get the beer.
Sounds like a plan. I'm not sure what the reimagined season is yet, but once I get far enough to figure it out, I'm sure I'll be blabbing about it. A few years ago, Horror movies were my favorite genre but over the last few years Sci-Fi has grown to be my #1.
The series that just ended (2004 to 2009) was the 'reimagined' series. The original started in 1978. Ultimately they could have called it the 'going back the the drawing board and creating a good series' rather than 'reimagined'.
It's the latest series I'd like to watch back to back – all seasons. I thought the original was very poor when it came out and have no desire to see it. indeed, I didn't start watching the 'reimagined' season until after the second season – I disliked the first series so much. But too many people were telling me that it 'really is different – it really is good'. They were right.
You got to see it Davis, I just loved it!
That was from a special that aired around the time of the new BSG pilot, about a year before the series got going. There was a scene where Dirk said Katee got Starbuck right and ceremonially “passed the cigar” to her.
