The new version is different enough from the original (same basic premise, execution updated a LOT)
I think so far they've redone one ep (and I've watched eleven so far) from the original series -- they've taken a lot of liberties, and it's good.
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
the stupid one minute over lap is killing me -- I will watch one and record the other -- but I don't have the option on TIVO to tell it to record PP starting at 901 - unless I am there - which I am never sure of happening

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh yes. No mechanical doggies anywhere in sight.

You can't do a manual recording?

I know that Starbuck used to be a guy -- was Boomer too?

Heather -- you should spoiler font.
ACK! Fixed
From what I remember, she got the tape, was listening to the sessions, got locked in her trunk, was going to find out where the ceremony was, but heard it going on. It makes sense to me because both listening to the sessions and being at the ceremony are things you'd have to do right then- watching a tape is not.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think so.
Wasn't there a chick who wanted to be a Viper pilot? What happened with that?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Boomer was also a guy.

Heather, I think she had had it earlier, but someone else will have to confirm or contradict. Wait -- Wallace had his ID when they went to karaoke, didn't he?

I remember the series premiere -- 1978, I think. I had taken my bath early so I could stay up and watch it, AND THE POWER WENT OUT. One of our neighbors had a tiny battery powered TV, so the ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD was crowded into their living room in the dark, around a 2 inch screen, watching this show. I remember that my dad carried me to the Robinsons' house cause I was wearing my footie pajamas. they were yellow.
