Battlestar Galactica getting rebooted (again) for NBS's streaming service
- Thread starter StCoop
- Start date
That's not how it works.
Or a thinly disguised reboot advertised as a prequel to an existing show.
Again, that's not how things work.
I have no idea what you're going on about. My comment was meant to be sarcastic.
If anything, I found the contemporary stuff to be a breath of fresh air. But then I have kind of a weird relationship with sci-fi where attempts to be more "alien" or "futuristic" are more of a turn-off for me.
Good job on believing marketing.
Remake, reboot, revival and sequel all seemed to be mashed together under the term reboot by some of the genre "journalists" these days. Saw HBO's Watchmen series called an adaptation of the graphic novel, when it seems to be a sequel spinning out of the events of the comic.
I'm OK with this, nBSG got to tell it's story and complete the journey of it's characters so where else to go from there? The only thing with the reboot is that nBSG was soooooo good that whatever they make can never be as good as it. Watchable yes but it's such a high bar to set themselves against.
How about doing Buck Rogers or Knight Rider instead if they have the rights.

Ronald D Moore had the right vision. Seasons 1 and 2 were great, the miniseries was absurd, and the human cylons (a carryover from Galactica 1980) was done fairly well, even if it's a quaint way to cut costs.
Sam is a fan of the franchise but what can he bring to the table to make his vision really stand out? Like what Piller, Moore and Hurley did for TNG (despite it being a sequel and not a reboot), Ira and Ronald and Peter for DS9 (again, sequel), and so on? He claims "something new"as he will not "mess with perfection"... needless to say I'm intrigued but skeptical given the general record of reboots either not being true to source material, relying more on effects than having any plot or interesting characters, paper thin allegories with zero creativity or less, and/or having zero vision or scope.
In which case we'd all be jillionaires if we all became TV script writers and made lame allegories to every sitting president at the time fornew reboot shows, since audiences will tune in just long enough. "V" from 2009 is still one of the most condescending and lamentable. But the Simpsons predicted the demise of subtle commentary in the early 1990s.

By the way, it's NBCU, not NBS. The streaming service is Peacock.

If that's what gets done, then I'm fine with it.
Not sure whether it'll ever get Canadian distribution so that I can see it without a Peacock subscription...and that's my stumbling block.
It's Digific, he's like this about everything. Anything that doesn't agree with his world view gets argued to death, and when it's actually proven to be wrong, never admits he was wrong.
Oh I know.
The definition of the term "reboot" has nothing to do with marketing.
Similar to Capricorn, it appears that this is not a remake (reboot, re-imagining, etc), it is a separate story in the same universe.
It's still vague as to what this new BSG show is supposed to be, the tweet states that it will be a new story WITHIN THE MYTHOLOGY this DOES NOT mean it will take place within the RDM/2004 continuity or even the original for that matter.
I have a cheesy and cringe worthy idea for a BSG type show. I call it Battlestar Galactica 1990 it's a story that takes place aboard an Artemis class Battlestar during the first Cylon war of the nuBSG timeline. The Artemis and a large Cylon mothership hit a timewarp and end up around the Earth in the mid 90's! It's up to the crew to elude the Cylons, evade detection by the Earth authorities, and advance their civilization to the point where they can stand up to the Cylon threat with the help of their allies a parody of mid-90's celebrities! So rev up your flying motorcycles and set phasers to cringe! lol

That is the stupidest and most ridiculous thing I've ever......planned on watching......Take my money now and I'll make room next to my BSG1980 DVD's.
