Err, this is like, your opinion, you know.
Battlestar Galactica getting rebooted (again) for NBS's streaming service
- Thread starter StCoop
- Start date
I agree. We need more Space Disco and monkeys in dog costumes.
As long as it's not an actual Casino Planet. They say there's a difference.
Indeed, it's the perfect opportunity to resign from the military and become manager of a group of alien singers.
I like the idea of humans from earth returning to the colonies many years in the future and exploring this strange past they are only now becoming aware of. Studying the relics and old buildings and maybe they run into the Cylons who left on their own at the end of the last series and have now evolved yet again only this time even though they are more humanoid they still have a more robotic nature to them then the human ones we saw on Moore's show. Head Baltar and Head Six are still part of the new show. Also maybe some humans are also already living on those planets. Perhaps humans from other ships that escaped the attacks eventually came back and created a new society over the years only more primitive than the modern day one we saw on the old show. Something along the lines of Ancient Rome or so.

I like it - a different perspective in the same universe. That could have some good potential.
I think anything listed for 2021 that's not already in production can be sensibly be shifted to 2022.
Just to put things in perspective: The original Battlestar Galactica was a little-better-than-average 70s sci-fi tv show, green-lighted just to take advantage of the monstrous success of Star Wars and best remembered for the quality of its FXs and this
The 2004 reboot was a critical success which earned acclaim from (copying from Wikipedia) Time, National Review, Rolling Stone, Newsday, The New York Times, The New Yorker, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Chicago Tribune, and Entertainment Weekly.
I read some of the original reviews of the TOS BSG and they weren't so kind. Isaas Asimov wrote a quite harsh one too ("Star Wars was fun and I enjoyed it. But Battlestar Galactica was Star Wars all over again and I couldn't enjoy it without amnesia.").
Everyone one is entitled to his/her opinion, and I know that there are quite a lot of fans of the original series out there (and I think that it has a certain charm), but please, let's not pretend that it's some kind of unsung masterpiece.

I really enjoyed it but, I was 9 and even then it felt like a knock off. I had the Viper and Cylon ships that shot the plastic projectiles. They tried to recall them...........so I hid them from mom.
How about, for a nice change of pace, dogs in monkey costumes?

I had the "version 2" ones that stopped the projectiles from being shot. I "modified" them to work properly. Dumb kids shooting things up their noses always ruining things for the rest of us.
RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember correctly that there is a scene in Galactica 1980 where they show multiple robot "daggits"?

Frankly speaking, the poors might have tied to farm daggit meat, but there's a reason they've been in steerage for 20 yarns.
Do not get high, on your own supply.

At the risk of bringing real world politics into this, after seeing Anderson Cooper interviewing the mayor of Vegas, I can't help but wonder if that is perhaps a reaction many would have.
You are absolutely right. The problem is that in the context of the episode, the visit to the casino seemed absolutely natural and no one (if not weakly) had any complaints. If some character had pointed out the absurdity of it, it would have been an interesting point about illogical things that people do in times of crisis. As it was presented, it is only bad writing.

Talking about story structure not production value.
Errr, going to a casino planet where they dance space disco after an apocalypse and deciding to give an annoying kid a robot dog isn't part of "story structure"?
