SACKHOFF: No one seems to remember that Boomer in the original was a black man, and now he was a Korean woman! [Laughs] No one cared. Before we even started shooting the miniseries, I got a death threat [mailed to me].

CALLIS: I could totally understand initially where the fans were coming from. These are the people who actually wanted the show on. If they weren't clamoring for it, maybe the network wouldn't be making it, and they've wanted it a certain way.
