	I'm sorry, I didn't make myself clear.
	It isn't the fan base that has the factions.
	It's the *producers*.

	Richard Hatch wanted to produce a new Galactica,
	remaining faithful to the original.  He wrote
	three BSG novels, and was shopping the concept
	around, looking for backers.

	Meanwhile, the corporate executives who had
	the rights to the series were looking for a
	fast buck.

	Guess who won?

Don't

	I tend to agree.  Starbuck a *woman* ?!?  sheesh.
