The original didn't have Cylons that looked like real people (I can't recall if there were in the awful Galactica 1980 series, but then I don't count that as real "Battlestar Galactica" either - it was the first attempt at a silly reboot).
Ha ha! You purist!

That sounds like semantics to me my friend. I think Wally's 8 would a great name for a remake
Judging by how awful most remakes are in their own right (even ignoring the issue of being anything remotely like the original), a better name is likely to be "Doofuses Dozen".
