But other than the starting premise they really are completely different things (and in light of a different discussion, the existence of this "remake" could, if I were so inclined, devalue the original by showing just how much better it could have been) so I don't bother directly comparing them much.

I really did enjoy the original version when I was a kid. Course seeing it again, its sort of laughable but then it's just outdated.

But you are right, you truly can't compare them. It's a totally different animal.

I promise I won't post spoilers! I don't even know any.

On another Sci Fi note, I read recently that do to the popularity of the BS remake poplularity there may be a "Bionic Woman" series. BW would be more the corporate hero. Career women by day, supercharged chick by night. One hopes it just as original as Battlestar.
