IMHO, no comparison between the original series and the new one. Although I loved Lorne Green and his Ben Cartright meets the Lords of Cobol, the new series is incredibly sophisticated, moody, and has no 6 year old with his robot dog as a main character.
Farscape? I like Farscape, but I'd rate Stargate SG-1 above Farscape in my personal list of favorites. This new Battlestar series is just incredible.
Not only is the new Battlestar the best TV sci-fi series, I think it ranks up there above the great sci-fi movies of all time.
