I wasn't really serious you know. Muffit was the silliest part of the original and unless the newest reboot is planned to be camp, I don't think we'll see anything like the original Daggit.
Battlestar Galactica Movie Back On.
- Thread starter Chekov's Phaser
- Start date
So, given nuBSG's "all of this has happened before, all of this will happen again" shtick, theoretically all three BSG's (original, nu, and this one) could be in the same timeline!
What I'm interested in seeing is the endgame. Do they make it a trilogy where they end up at Earth in movie three or do they do the whole trip in one movie of hardship and military struggle? Or, do they really rehash the wheel and just use the movie to set up yet another series?
Or the new movie could be totally retro with all the seventies style and music! The perfect Jack Black vehicle!
I remember back in the nineties the Space channel in Canada had a retro night. The advertisement announcer said something like "Who could've thought the future would look so much...like the seventies!"
I agree. Besides, Battlestar Galactica was never about the destination--it was always about the journey.
True! Every time they actually find Earth, people get disappointed.
Wait, are you saying Galatica 1980 was a disappointment?
Well ... to actually say that, I'd have to admit that it existed. So, no.
I hope they make Apollo a woman this time.
Apollonia?
I'm sure Richard Hatch would be more mature about it than bennedict was when they made Starbuck a woman.
That's just because Katee Sackoff was so much better in the role than he was.
It could also explain why the first Apollo and Tom Zarek look alike. They were both descendants of a common ancestor.
Wouldn't surprise me if it was. At the very least, it's going to be a hell of a lot more light-hearted than Ron Moore's show was.
I expect it will fall somewhere between the original show and the revamp in terms of tone. The original is a little too light and cheesy for modern blockbuster films, but it won't be as grim and depressing as Moore's show was, either. I do expect some sense of hopelessness, though, considering that Galactica and the rest of the fleet of ~50,000 people are the surviving remnants of twelve planets with a combined population of at least tens of billions of people.
Basically, I wouldn't expect to see this new Galactica visiting any casino planets any time soon.

Well, we kinda know what's going to happen. The planet and the other colonies get shot up and our heroes make off in a fleet whilst being harried by these tin-cans. BSG to be BSG is pretty mapped out more or less as it is. They made it gritty with the nuBSG - what more can you do with it?
Not that I'm opposed to this project per say. If they think they can make it fresh again, crack on. Just curious as to how they'll do it.

Which shouldn't be hard to do.
