There is one fundamental difference. Original Trek wasn't impeded by the existence of TNG from going further with its full potential as a movie series. Galactica fans like me had waited 25 years with the patience of Job to see some vindication in the form of a continuation/conclusion to an interrupted storyline regarding characters we cared about in the universe they were part of. Moore operated under the delusional belief that TOS fandom was rooted entirely in F/X and daggits and that it was all about our childhood memories when that is 100% false. It was the fact that these were characters we cared about and who still had adventures to explore and final fates we wanted to know. And we were on the verge of seeing a next generation series in the original universe from Tom DeSanto that was derailed by 9/11 and then Moore inherited that from Universal and decided to remake Galactica in his own image according to a philosophy that does not represent IMO what Galactica represents and made it enjoyable to me in the first place. I do not want dark moody stuff that also turns the religious themes upside down so the genocidal monsters are the ones with the more "Christian" type religion (Moore to put it bluntly simply revealed his ignorance of the original series by thinking Colonial religion was polytheistic. It isn't. Just like he couldn't get it straight that Pyramid is a card game and Triad is an athletic game)

It is the fact that original series fans like me wanted just a simple bit of closure to the original series that made the developments of 20 years ago hurt even more. When 25 years of hopes are dashed like that it was a bitter pill to swallow. The only reason why I've moved on from that is because of all the fanfic I've written and read since then where I can explore different ways of how things unfolded next, and also in 2019 there was the great "Saga Of A Fugitive Fleet" audio drama with most of the surviving original cast that represented a partial vindication even though the name Galactica and the character names couldn't be used (once I took the drama and mixed in Stu Phillips music into it and added the MacNee and Greene narrations it then took on the character of a true cast continuation effort). So I'm no longer bitter about what didn't happen but the other series is a show I will never be able to connect with or think positively of.

That is I realize of course a subjective view and those who think they can have equal feelings about both, more power to them.

Fascism is alive and well at HTF where a thread at HTF may NOT discuss how this production is a deliberate twisting of Christian theology.

As always the "no religion" rules of forums are always used to deliberately make those of faith become second-class citizens while smug anti-Christian agendas get a free pass.

Amazing the message board gestapo still exists over there at this point in time. How can you conduct a legitimate discussion of NARNIA without taking religion into account?

Exactly! You can not separate it from this at all. Lewis intended it to be a Christian allegory. Lewis was also the foremost Christian apologist of the 20th century for traditional orthodoxy and that's another reason you cannot leave it out of any discussion when it comes to tampering with the source material (this shows just how ignorant these moderators are about Christian Theology 101 which is a point I made in a post that was taken down).

Of course trying to obscure the importance of Christianity and Christian orthodoxy in the life of C.S. Lewis is nothing new for this industry. The 1993 "Shadowlands" is an awful movie because it goes out of its way to render invisible the importance of Christianity in the life of Lewis and Joy Davidman and how THAT was the key to why they came together in the first place.
