Don't nearly all major religions and mythologies mention a great flood in ancient times? I've often wondered if that could be a reference glaciers melting after the Ice Age?That’s all ancient Jewish lore, way before the Christians existed.
The flood story was even older, from the Babylonians and Sumerians (amongst many others in ancient times with a flood myth in their texts). Don’t think there are any those guys left around to piss off.
It was more likely a flood in the Nile region <--- As that's the area where the oldest myths/stories about "A Great Flood" have been found/traced to.
That, or there’s also evidence of a massive asteroid strike in ancient times, the Younger Dryas Incident, about 12,000 years ago. It’s becoming a popular theory that this is a potential source for all the different flood myths.
What makes you think this won't involve Cylons or spaceships? I haven't see any kind of plot details yet.
Caprica did involve the Cylons, the show was all about how they started. There were some spaceships towards the end too, and I have a feeling if it had been able to continue we probably would have seen more.
I'm thinking it's probably going to be something more directly tied to the events of the RDM series.
This has nothing to do with Syfy, it's being produced for Peacock, the NBCU-Universal streaming service.
Why would they cancel Discovery? As far as I know it's been a big hit. It inspired them to do thee or four more Star Trek series, so it can't be doing to badly for them.
Yes. STD. Of course. It's so fun. Ah ah.
If any franchise has proven to be immune from the passage of time, it's BSG (and of course Trek). It took me a while to get in to Caprica but once I did I loved the show.
I'm not an STD hater. In fact I defended the show after it's first season. After the end of S2 I'm just no longer that invested in seeing it try to salvage itself. And I assume it's being kept alive because the CBS Trek franchise cannot afford to be seen having canceled it at this time.
Why would you want the cancellation of DSC? Clearly you don’t like it (fair enough) but others do (you’re only getting PIC BECAUSE of DSC, not in spite of it). I’ve never understood why someone would wish for a show to be canceled (unless they hold stock in a company losing money on the venture). People’s livelihoods, other people’s enjoyment, these should be sacrificed for you?
There is another solution. I know it might seem radical but it’s worth trying as an alternative (one that has no negative impact on others at that). Don’t. Watch. The. Show. It’s just that simple.
The Earth 2.0 I'm referring to is "our" earth. I'm not sure what they could find for clues that would reveal the "true" history about the cycle with Kobol, Cylons, the colonies, etc. maybe something left out in space? Like if Anders left a black box on the moon.theenglish said:
The main Galactica story has been told. Other than the 1st Cylon war, I'm not seeing what else is left within that continuity other than the possibility of more obscure stuff like Caprica. What else has been tossed around in this thread? A Lords of Kobal series? Audiences are supposed to know what that is and be interested in it?
Did it have spaceships flown by people being chased to extinction by Cylons (ie, what people remember from the original BSG)?
They probably won't have the original actors, since anybody they could get will be ten years older. That will make their options more constricting the closer they try to get to BSG actual.
I stand corrected. The first link I followed to news of this series was from the See-Fee Channel site. I don't know why I thought they were involved in it. I don't see the difference though if it's NBC thinking they can make a third attempted spin-off after ten years.
Only CBS knows how it's doing. But they started planning all these spin-offs prior to working the bugs out of STD. And after two seasons STD is still an incoherent mess (more than it was after 1st season in fact). And until STP begins airing it remains the only thing CBS Trek has to show for itself. And isn't it supposed to be the most expensive TV show ever made?
No it doesn't. ...And I doubt the finding of an ancient spaceship would only rate a mention in an article about mitochondrial Eve.
