It wasn't just the fact that starbuck was now a woman.
Well, that's all you mentioned.

Was very excited when I heard that they we’re making a remake/redoing the show. But I just couldn’t stand the starbuck character who knows why maybe it’s my deep hatred of all things p.c .
...and you mention little more, just with more words.
I think the introduction of a female character was to again stray further from the original, and also because if you look at the cast of the original, as per many 70's and 80's show, the cast is predominately male...this phase is largely over and the percentage of females in major roles has shifted somewhat.
This is a common model for shows/movies nowdays, you may have noticed.
I don't think it's about "pc" much anymore these days - I think we're a little past that.

it wasn’t a secret homo fantasy about starbuck, as you obviously suffer from ( or otherwise it wouldn’t be at the forefront of your mind). Maybe….you like the new starbuck because now you can have a wank over starbuck without no homosexual guilt?
You've always got to assume I'm attacking you, huh?
I was actually referring to the kind've fantasy a young fella might have watching a show like this, yknow, wanting to BE the character and all...that link now gone with the gender change?
But hey, if you wanna put a gay spin on my words, you go right ahead - just don't put it on me, and say it's at the forefront of my mind?
Not everything has to be an argument.

Anyway doesn't matter now the show has now been dumped. hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Not exactly end of the world there...they've got the majority of the season left to resolve any outstanding storylines.
