@@Mouse_Metal True, but the 2004 version tried a lot of new risky things with the premise that was at least well written.

I really hope/wish that Richard Hatch's dream of a Galactica revival gets to run. He had gotten a lot of artists together to work on it before he was brought on to the SyFy BSG. I met him in the very early 2000s at a Con and we talked for a while (much longer than I'd expected we'd have been talking) and he had even asked me for a demo tape. (I never made one before and Lightwave 3d was a fun hobby for me at the time.) He had quite a cool vision that he'd outlined in his books. It would have been extremely dope to have seen that dream come to the screen. Richard may have left us, but the vision for Galactica that he had doesn't have to. What they need is someone like Joe Staczynski (who made B5 on a shoestring) and is a great storyteller.
@@majesticmsfc I couldn't remember the name he had for it, but he seemed VERY passionate about making that vision a reality (on screen or tv at least).

Gaeta being gay was retroactively inserted, originally the "little secret sealed with a very special pen" between him and Baltar was that during the occupation on New Caprica, Gaeta had been sleeping with an 8, to whom he had given names of people that the 8 led him to believe she would save, but in fact became names on the death lists, like the one Roslin, Zarek, and Callie ended up on.

I've seen all of the BSG shows and movies and I think they should wait until they can get the right people I don't want them to destroy the legacy of any of the BSG shows. Loved the original with Lorne Green and the Edward James Olmos version
As a huge BSG fan I consider this a good thing. I’ve watched a few channels react to It. One lady really enjoyed it and was sad when it ended while another couple seem to not really understand what they were trying to tell. BSG for ‘Modern Audiences” would be horrible.
I would like to see Caprica continue-The actors are too old now, but I was thinking “A Scanner Darkly” type animation drawn over actors style-It could work that way.
Honestly, this is the best news that could’ve ever happened to this franchise. The show itself is perfect. It’s so fun every couple of years to go back and revisit. It’s just so great. I even like the ending. True story I had a 10 minute conversation with Richard hatch at his show several years ago before he passed, and I told him that I was one of the people that actually thought the ending was OK. He did not agree, obviously in a wonderfully nice way. But he was so seemingly disappointed. They should’ve done whatever he wanted to do because he honestly and truly felt that that was a massive letdown both for him as a character and for the show. and it was a totally cool thing to have happen. Anyway, the show would’ve been rebooted with a bunch of 20 something kids and all of a sudden the entire story would not have made any sense. Can you imagine Captain Adama is a 24 year old? Or Starbuck as a pilot/influencer? No offense to any of those people, but how many reboots have basically just said let’s put a bunch of ridiculous young people in positions that they would never have been in and then reboot. Thank God they didn’t do it. I think it’s been three years that we’re getting close to a rewatch at this point
This a good thing i’m glad this reboot reimagining whatever it is I call it a bastardization of the original Battlestar Galactica just like Ronald Moore version of Battlestar. Galactica is a bastardization. People need to stop screwing around with classics and leave them alone. You’re gonna play in someone else’s sandbox, you have to play by their rules, not decide to tump over the sandbox
Ideally there should be some kind of continuation-cum-closure of the Original Glen A Larson Battlestar Galactica, or perhaps a new version that is able to be closer to Larson's original core ideas and world-building that was cut-short and overruled by Universal/ABC. Personally I wasn't a fan of the Ron Moore 'Reimagining', and what Moore and Syfy created should have been an entirely different and separate IP altogether, while leaving the door open for a legitimate continuation to materialize....but that was then, and sadly many of the 1978 Galactica alumni have passed away. May the Lords of Kobol bless Battlestar Galactica! 😇😎👍
If Hollywood wants to spend more money on an existing sci fi franchise, leave BSG alone and go fund completion of The Expanse with the previous creators at the helm and the original cast in the main roles. Yes there's a 30-year time jump to the final trilogy but with current technology it shouldn't be cost-prohibitive to use CGI to age up the actors.
This was news to me (thanks for letting me know!) but not surprising to me since this isn’t the only post Ron Moore BSG reboot attempt that went belly up. I think since Ron Moore’s version was so good I’m fine if that ends up as the only remake. In fact, I’d much rather see the last three books of _The Expanse_ adapted or _The Chronicles of Amber_ , which Stephen Colbert and many others are trying to get adapted.
I don't know, I was looking forward to the new gender fluid baltar sparring about the de-colonized colony colonizers and the anti-fascit adama mincing poetically about privilege..... yeah probably better they let the existing good one stand.
Honestly I think Battle Star Galactica would work really well as an animated series. Like the characters and sets would be 2D animated but all the space battles would be a stylized 3D animation.
Ed Olmos said when the show wrapped up, "BSG is a show that we will understand far better in 20 years than we do today" He was right, we are just beginning to understand it. We still need another 20 or 40 years to process it before we need a new BSG.
The studios have always gotten it wrong about remakes. The just see the money potential from milking a familiar name as if its some consumer product. Unfortunately, all of the wrong conclusions were drawn from the 2003 remake of the 70s TV series. And it seems that in the years that followed, Hollywood couldn't make enough of them in cheap cash grabs. What the 2003 series demonstrated is that it only makes sense to do a remake when the source material had a great premise but was not executed that well. The original series felt like it was incomplete, too campy (especially in the last several episodes), and left one dangling at the end with a tantalizing nugget. The source material was ripe for a new look and retelling. And it worked beautifully in spite of the initial skepticism (I was among the skeptics but was intrigued by its possibilities at the time.) But it did have its detractors, Dirk Benedict among them (had it been released today, it would have been labeled as "woke" with DEI characters). Richard Hatch was won over after seeing it and offered the Tom Zarek character. The problem now it studios can't leave well enough alone. They went on countless remakes of movies that were nearly perfect and would doom any remake to failure. Star Wars the Force Awakens and Ghostbusters (2016) come to mind.
Just let it be dead. The story has been told and has been told very well the last time. A new version will just be used by its creators as a platform for their political ideals and social views. Just like star wars and star trek have been ruined before.
I hope it comes back. This attitude that every entry in a series needs to be a mindblowing blockbuster is harming creativity. BSG is amazing, but it can stand alone. Ghost in the Shell is my favorite "IP" and it has all kinds of entries that are good and bad in their own right, but I enjoy everyone for the different paths they take. Characters and settings are radically different but work their own
There are those who believe that gender here began out there, far across the safe space, with tribes of Karens who may have been the allies of the Gays, or the Transgender, or the Queer...
I still stand by the idea of a sequel with a 20 year timejump (bringing back the actors we know and love and adding new ones of course). Exploring the inevitable backlash of the "no technology" policy, children of colonial survivors dying of illnesses that could have been treated with high tech medicine and that sparkling a new conflict. Exploring the question: is technology good or bad? Some survivors never even wanting to see technology anymore, remembering what it did (in its most developed form: as Cylons) to their birth planets, cultures and their loved ones. Some survivors of course never having heeded the policy in the first place and hiding objects (weapons among other things), some of those objects getting into the wrong hands and being used to enslave a newly contacted primitive tribe who think the survivors are gods to be worshipped etc. And those who followed Lee's idea now finding themselves ill prepared to stand up against those who do have technology (kind of like how the Colonial fleet was ill prepared against a Cylon attack through their own stupidity - all of this has happened before and all of this...).
I think this is for the best, I doubt a reboot would go well, Battlestar's best shot was with blood and chrome where it focused on the first cylon war within the same universe as the 04 reboot. But I feel a new reboot would struggle to meet the expectations set because how good the 04 reboot was. I mean we can see this in many scifi franchises that has continued or been rebooted, be it star wars or star trek, both had moments of success but I feel it is few and far between, star trek's success being Strange New Worlds for the most part.
I can see a cable network taking a stab at a new BSG series but I don't think it would be Syfy. They have their BSG and it's a true gem of Sci Fi. The problem I see is that I don't know if any network otherwise would be willing to pony up the dough to make another quality BSG series. I think if it were to be made it might end up on something like Max or Prime and it just might be worth a watch if it did, since they both have reputations for quality productions, even if skewed from the source here and there.
I'd love more Battlestar Gallactica, but it was starting to sound like they had no actual plan for the show, and didn't really understand what made the previous two shows iconic. If it isn't going to be good or isn't going to advance the genre, then it doesn't need to be made.
This is not bad news, given what has been done to other franchises, Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, etc., I'm glad I don't have to see yet another beloved franchise get f--ked in the ass.
Somehow I am not surprised. Saddened, but not surprised. I agree.....I'd rather have nothing that something thrown out there simply to chase dollars. Witness what has been done to Star Wars and Star Trek. I'd rather enjoy great memories and nothing more than have the franchise legacy wrecked. But that's just me.
If this winds up like the production of "Warcraft" then it will take several years being stuck "in development hell" before it's finally released and will either succeed or divide the fans. I was in high school when the "World of Warcraft" movie was announced and it wasn't released until 2016, but there was a divide between 'diehard' fans who hated it and those who jut saw it as "just another fantasy movie"
In a way, we already got a taste of how woke another BSG reboot would have been. Remember Another Life with Katee Sackhoff and how utterly despicable it was? Here’s an idea- come up with a new idea for a science fiction action-drama and stop ripping off existing IP hoping to have a built-in fanbase.
That plank of wood ruins everything she is in. Terrible actress and terrible, entitled person with no self-reflection. Even in Riddick where she wasn´t the main character and didn´t have to act much she was the worst part of the movie. That CGI alien doggo had better acting skills and more personality than her. Her only redeeming quality is she works out, so she looks the part. But any other physically fit actress, for example Emily Blunt, could play a supporting role of a military woman too, and with more charisma, better acting skills and better looks. I put her on my list of boycotted Hollyweirdos after she ruined The Mandalorian and was very proud of it and lied to do some unsuccessful damage control later. And - I´m not joking - somebody asked me if KatREEE is actually a transformer, if you know what I mean. :D
The first question I have to ask is are you talking Battlestar the original circa 78 or the reboot in 2000. Both series have their virtues 2000's Battlestar was more faithful overall in design to the book but it insisted on nothing but kinetic weapons Battlestar 78 utilized Canon dedicated laser weapons and turbo laser weapons but the Nova class Battlestar never was capable of pulling in the launch base and that was a structural feature of the original design I think there should be a happy medium here somewhere where Battlestar Galactica has the capabilities of the of the 2000 century series with the full power of the 78 series I also like to see the incorporation of both raptors and and the colonial shuttle ram so to answer your question so I think it's a question of do we reboot the 78 version are the 2000 version or do we go for broke and build a series based around the actual story of Battlestar Galactica
Apple TV's problem isn't poor content, its impossible sign up requirements. If you don't own an apple device, be prepared to get on the phone with apple support every time you want to log in.
Corporate greed, its all about profit. Heaven forbid that input has to go up and profits go down. I won't keep paying more for streaming and have less to watch. Pathetic corporate strategies, nothing more.
Even tho I liked season 3 of Picard more than the first two seasons I wud worry that Matalis wud mess up BSG. I never watched the prequel but I thought the writing on BSG was so so great that I wudnt want someone else to try and do another show unless it was the original people. Picard season 3 still had some issues and I dont know all the sci fi writers in depth but all of the ones writing it right now other than Lower Decks and Prodigy havent really put out anything great even tho I liked the last season of Discovery it was that great. Dune is the only other sci fi thing i can think of right now that is good
B.s.g. is great--- but--- I really don't know what these people know what their going to do... things seem to be unsure... Even I don't know what is going to happen... The future is uncertain... It's crazy...
Unfortunately I had very little confidence that this new BSG was going to go forward. This is mainly because I had zero confidence in Peacock. I predict Peacock lasts for no more than another two years. I’m glad NC brought up ST: Picard S3. It was really well done and a relatively low budget. It’s unfortunate that Paramount fumbled any followup. Hollywood needs to learn from Terry Matalas and, more recently, the Godzilla Minus One film that had outstanding special effects for an absolutely tiny budget. Anyways, now I have reason 401932 to never subscribe to Peacock.
I know that Disney, like most major Hollywood studios, and not to mention their owners/founders, is plagued with vile rumors. As well as what most would probably agree are questionable business practices at best. Nevertheless, they used to produce quality products. Now look at them.
Foundation... they spent money on everything but good writers Picard season 3 was bait and switch. That ending was awful I'd prefer they leave BSG alone and invest on something new
One can see where the money is being spent on an Apple+ show like For All Mankind......but so many other shows seem to be throwing money away......or laundering it.
The original series was the best. The remake was to WOKE and DEI disaster and did gender and race swapping by delusional script writers and director. We don't need another crappy remake.
In a way, we already got a taste of how woke another BSG reboot would have been. Remember Another Life with Katee Sackhoff and how utterly despicable it was?
As a fan of the original series I was highly skeptical on the new 2014 reimagining. It gradually grew on me despite the changes in the premise, the timeline, and that stupid argument about how to spell "frack." The new series is a different but very similar story. I really don't think we're ready for yet another one yet. I really enjoyed Leave the World Behind so I know there are good people out there who could do a good job with this. Apple certainly has the money to put into a project like this but they tend to put their money into projects of real quality and this might not fit well alongside something like Foundation, which despite being rather different from the books is still a seriously quality production. It might be a good idea to let it rest for a few decades as the reimagined series did, coming along thirty-five years after the original.
Too bad Dr. Who, Star Trek and Star Wars studios can't get that idea of dormancy vs sub par garbage writing just to keep things in the eye of those with short attention spans. Fans will wait for a good story. It's the impatient children of the tik tok age that loose interest if something is out of sight for more than thirty seconds.
What you don't take into account, is the fact that Cable TV is losing customers by the bucket full, and that means a lot less cash to invest into a series that has high costs! The Streaming services are becoming the places where these types of productions are going to happen. I do hope you are right, but so far 3 companies, 2 streaming and one cable company are going out of business so far in 2024.
I really don't understand where is the "franchise" in BSG. There is one specific story with a beginning, a middle and an end. In order for a franchise to exist there have to be potentially other stories in the same universe, and as Caprica has shown, there is not enough interest in the beginning of this story!!!
That is why they need to go back to the original format of the show, The original BSG had other planets with people and aliens, so BSG could have a lot more stories and a much more open universe.
Cable might be the answer, but SyFy has long had problems. Support for the final season of BSG was spotty, and they made an absolutely horrible deal when acquiring the Expanse, which is how they lost it to Amazon.
I think cable is just DOA at this point. But yes, better to see a project languishing in development hell shelved or picked up by someone who wants to MAKE it successful than to destroy yet another franchise chasing the lowest common denominator low-effort low budget garbage that'll crap on the franchise and get cancelled if it doesn't make 500K times its investment in the first twenty minutes. Do it right or don't do it! (And "right doesn't automatically mean the flashiest, highest-budget attempt possible.)
I was offered Apple+ for 3 months free. After one week, I cancelled it. Crap TV. Please bring a decent script BG to SYFY. I saw Amazon treat The Expanse with respect. Maybe they might do the same with BG?
I concur. It is good news. I wouldn't trust any 'remake' in this day and age. They would probably make Adama a drag queen, and have Galactica drag queen story time at the end of every episode.
I loved the show "V" as a kid, but was very disappointed in the reboot a few years ago. As a BSG fan, I don't want the same fate with this show. Waiting is better than a half hearted reboot.

Honestly, this is the best news that could’ve ever happened to this franchise. The show itself is perfect. It’s so fun every couple of years to go back and revisit. It’s just so great. I even like the ending. True story I had a 10 minute conversation with Richard hatch at his show several years ago before he passed, and I told him that I was one of the people that actually thought the ending was OK. He did not agree, obviously in a wonderfully nice way. But he was so seemingly disappointed. They should’ve done whatever he wanted to do because he honestly and truly felt that that was a massive letdown both for him as a character and for the show. and it was a totally cool thing to have happen. Anyway, the show would’ve been rebooted with a bunch of 20 something kids and all of a sudden the entire story would not have made any sense. Can you imagine Captain Adama is a 24 year old? Or Starbuck as a pilot/influencer? No offense to any of those people, but how many reboots have basically just said let’s put a bunch of ridiculous young people in positions that they would never have been in and then reboot. Thank God they didn’t do it. I think it’s been three years that we’re getting close to a rewatch at this point
This a good thing i’m glad this reboot reimagining whatever it is I call it a bastardization of the original Battlestar Galactica just like Ronald Moore version of Battlestar. Galactica is a bastardization. People need to stop screwing around with classics and leave them alone. You’re gonna play in someone else’s sandbox, you have to play by their rules, not decide to tump over the sandbox
Thanks Elaine
Have the Director of Godzilla Minus one and his team do a BSG SERIES /MOVIE. They would definitely knock it out of the Park
Ideally there should be some kind of continuation-cum-closure of the Original Glen A Larson Battlestar Galactica, or perhaps a new version that is able to be closer to Larson's original core ideas and world-building that was cut-short and overruled by Universal/ABC. Personally I wasn't a fan of the Ron Moore 'Reimagining', and what Moore and Syfy created should have been an entirely different and separate IP altogether, while leaving the door open for a legitimate continuation to materialize....but that was then, and sadly many of the 1978 Galactica alumni have passed away. May the Lords of Kobol bless Battlestar Galactica! 😇😎👍
If Hollywood wants to spend more money on an existing sci fi franchise, leave BSG alone and go fund completion of The Expanse with the previous creators at the helm and the original cast in the main roles. Yes there's a 30-year time jump to the final trilogy but with current technology it shouldn't be cost-prohibitive to use CGI to age up the actors.
This was news to me (thanks for letting me know!) but not surprising to me since this isn’t the only post Ron Moore BSG reboot attempt that went belly up. I think since Ron Moore’s version was so good I’m fine if that ends up as the only remake. In fact, I’d much rather see the last three books of _The Expanse_ adapted or _The Chronicles of Amber_ , which Stephen Colbert and many others are trying to get adapted.
sometimes you have to roll the hard six cable TV
Yeah I didn't really have a lot of confidence that it would be any good tbh.
I don't know, I was looking forward to the new gender fluid baltar sparring about the de-colonized colony colonizers and the anti-fascit adama mincing poetically about privilege..... yeah probably better they let the existing good one stand.
Honestly I think Battle Star Galactica would work really well as an animated series. Like the characters and sets would be 2D animated but all the space battles would be a stylized 3D animation.
Ed Olmos said when the show wrapped up, "BSG is a show that we will understand far better in 20 years than we do today" He was right, we are just beginning to understand it. We still need another 20 or 40 years to process it before we need a new BSG.
Sci-Fi on Apple? Like "Foundation"? Overbudgeted and underwhelming, losing the novel's impact completely...
Thanks the Lords of Kobol. So Say We All!
Thank crap for that, stop with the reboots already, use that supposed creativity and be original.
The studios have always gotten it wrong about remakes. The just see the money potential from milking a familiar name as if its some consumer product. Unfortunately, all of the wrong conclusions were drawn from the 2003 remake of the 70s TV series. And it seems that in the years that followed, Hollywood couldn't make enough of them in cheap cash grabs.
What the 2003 series demonstrated is that it only makes sense to do a remake when the source material had a great premise but was not executed that well. The original series felt like it was incomplete, too campy (especially in the last several episodes), and left one dangling at the end with a tantalizing nugget. The source material was ripe for a new look and retelling. And it worked beautifully in spite of the initial skepticism (I was among the skeptics but was intrigued by its possibilities at the time.) But it did have its detractors, Dirk Benedict among them (had it been released today, it would have been labeled as "woke" with DEI characters). Richard Hatch was won over after seeing it and offered the Tom Zarek character.
The problem now it studios can't leave well enough alone. They went on countless remakes of movies that were nearly perfect and would doom any remake to failure. Star Wars the Force Awakens and Ghostbusters (2016) come to mind.
I agree this is good news. I loved BSG but enough of the reboots already!
How can i be so sad yet so relieved
CANCEL DISNEY PLUS
What's this gotta do with Disney?
I'm trying to buy don't know how since it comes with hulu
Just let it be dead. The story has been told and has been told very well the last time. A new version will just be used by its creators as a platform for their political ideals and social views. Just like star wars and star trek have been ruined before.
Thank God! With current Hollywood's inability to write an ensemble cast. Maybe we wait another 20 years.
I hope it comes back. This attitude that every entry in a series needs to be a mindblowing blockbuster is harming creativity. BSG is amazing, but it can stand alone. Ghost in the Shell is my favorite "IP" and it has all kinds of entries that are good and bad in their own right, but I enjoy everyone for the different paths they take. Characters and settings are radically different but work their own
There are those who believe that gender here began out there, far across the safe space, with tribes of Karens who may have been the allies of the Gays, or the Transgender, or the Queer...
F**K THE WOKENESS.
_"So say we all."_
I still stand by the idea of a sequel with a 20 year timejump (bringing back the actors we know and love and adding new ones of course). Exploring the inevitable backlash of the "no technology" policy, children of colonial survivors dying of illnesses that could have been treated with high tech medicine and that sparkling a new conflict. Exploring the question: is technology good or bad?
Some survivors never even wanting to see technology anymore, remembering what it did (in its most developed form: as Cylons) to their birth planets, cultures and their loved ones. Some survivors of course never having heeded the policy in the first place and hiding objects (weapons among other things), some of those objects getting into the wrong hands and being used to enslave a newly contacted primitive tribe who think the survivors are gods to be worshipped etc. And those who followed Lee's idea now finding themselves ill prepared to stand up against those who do have technology (kind of like how the Colonial fleet was ill prepared against a Cylon attack through their own stupidity - all of this has happened before and all of this...).
I think this is for the best, I doubt a reboot would go well, Battlestar's best shot was with blood and chrome where it focused on the first cylon war within the same universe as the 04 reboot. But I feel a new reboot would struggle to meet the expectations set because how good the 04 reboot was. I mean we can see this in many scifi franchises that has continued or been rebooted, be it star wars or star trek, both had moments of success but I feel it is few and far between, star trek's success being Strange New Worlds for the most part.
As always Nerd Cookies: Great Comments! 👍👍👏.
As a big fan of both BSG series (yes, I am that old) and Mr. Robot, I am really disappointed. I hope this reboot gets made eventually.
I can see a cable network taking a stab at a new BSG series but I don't think it would be Syfy. They have their BSG and it's a true gem of Sci Fi. The problem I see is that I don't know if any network otherwise would be willing to pony up the dough to make another quality BSG series. I think if it were to be made it might end up on something like Max or Prime and it just might be worth a watch if it did, since they both have reputations for quality productions, even if skewed from the source here and there.
If this new Battlestar Galactica series gets picked up ; the new show needs a new writer and director. DO NOT FUCK THIS BELOVED SHOW UP!!!
I'd love more Battlestar Gallactica, but it was starting to sound like they had no actual plan for the show, and didn't really understand what made the previous two shows iconic. If it isn't going to be good or isn't going to advance the genre, then it doesn't need to be made.
This is not bad news, given what has been done to other franchises, Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, etc., I'm glad I don't have to see yet another beloved franchise get f--ked in the ass.
Somehow I am not surprised. Saddened, but not surprised. I agree.....I'd rather have nothing that something thrown out there simply to chase dollars. Witness what has been done to Star Wars and Star Trek. I'd rather enjoy great memories and nothing more than have the franchise legacy wrecked. But that's just me.
If this winds up like the production of "Warcraft" then it will take several years being stuck "in development hell" before it's finally released and will either succeed or divide the fans. I was in high school when the "World of Warcraft" movie was announced and it wasn't released until 2016, but there was a divide between 'diehard' fans who hated it and those who jut saw it as "just another fantasy movie"
Great news! Lets just hope they leave Babylon 5 alone now as well - Reporting from the 14th colony..
In the current creative and cultural climate, I'm kinda relieved.
In a way, we already got a taste of how woke another BSG reboot would have been. Remember Another Life with Katee Sackhoff and how utterly despicable it was? Here’s an idea- come up with a new idea for a science fiction action-drama and stop ripping off existing IP hoping to have a built-in fanbase.
That plank of wood ruins everything she is in. Terrible actress and terrible, entitled person with no self-reflection.
Even in Riddick where she wasn´t the main character and didn´t have to act much she was the worst part of the movie. That CGI alien doggo had better acting skills and more personality than her. Her only redeeming quality is she works out, so she looks the part. But any other physically fit actress, for example Emily Blunt, could play a supporting role of a military woman too, and with more charisma, better acting skills and better looks.
I put her on my list of boycotted Hollyweirdos after she ruined The Mandalorian and was very proud of it and lied to do some unsuccessful damage control later.
And - I´m not joking - somebody asked me if KatREEE is actually a transformer, if you know what I mean. :D
The first question I have to ask is are you talking Battlestar the original circa 78 or the reboot in 2000. Both series have their virtues 2000's Battlestar was more faithful overall in design to the book but it insisted on nothing but kinetic weapons Battlestar 78 utilized Canon dedicated laser weapons and turbo laser weapons but the Nova class Battlestar never was capable of pulling in the launch base and that was a structural feature of the original design I think there should be a happy medium here somewhere where Battlestar Galactica has the capabilities of the of the 2000 century series with the full power of the 78 series I also like to see the incorporation of both raptors and and the colonial shuttle ram so to answer your question so I think it's a question of do we reboot the 78 version are the 2000 version or do we go for broke and build a series based around the actual story of Battlestar Galactica
The project had no serious vision behind it. All they had was, "Make it like Ronald Moore's series". That's not good enough to create a TV show.
If they can't do it justice, don't do it! Geeze, The Expanse has raised the bar for any show that is Hard Sci Fi based.
Apple TV's problem isn't poor content, its impossible sign up requirements. If you don't own an apple device, be prepared to get on the phone with apple support every time you want to log in.
Battlestar Galactica had a very good ending, I have no curiosity about it. I am more interested in Stargate Universe.
I'm so tired of the setbacks and no big screen commitment!
what was the music in the background of this video?
Corporate greed, its all about profit. Heaven forbid that input has to go up and profits go down. I won't keep paying more for streaming and have less to watch. Pathetic corporate strategies, nothing more.
Even tho I liked season 3 of Picard more than the first two seasons I wud worry that Matalis wud mess up BSG. I never watched the prequel but I thought the writing on BSG was so so great that I wudnt want someone else to try and do another show unless it was the original people. Picard season 3 still had some issues and I dont know all the sci fi writers in depth but all of the ones writing it right now other than Lower Decks and Prodigy havent really put out anything great even tho I liked the last season of Discovery it was that great. Dune is the only other sci fi thing i can think of right now that is good
I dont know the exact figures, but it is ridiculous that ONE episode of Severance probably costs as much as a whole BSG season.
B.s.g. is great--- but--- I really don't know what these people know what their going to do... things seem to be unsure... Even I don't know what is going to happen... The future is uncertain... It's crazy...
Peacock did put out twisted metal. Surprisingly good. So maybe peacock wouldn't have been that bad
Unfortunately I had very little confidence that this new BSG was going to go forward. This is mainly because I had zero confidence in Peacock. I predict Peacock lasts for no more than another two years.
I’m glad NC brought up ST: Picard S3. It was really well done and a relatively low budget. It’s unfortunate that Paramount fumbled any followup. Hollywood needs to learn from Terry Matalas and, more recently, the Godzilla Minus One film that had outstanding special effects for an absolutely tiny budget.
Anyways, now I have reason 401932 to never subscribe to Peacock.
I *extremely* disagree with Nu Trek: Picard season 3. It spat in the face of Star Trek fans and vandalized the franchise.
I know that Disney, like most major Hollywood studios, and not to mention their owners/founders, is plagued with vile rumors. As well as what most would probably agree are questionable business practices at best. Nevertheless, they used to produce quality products. Now look at them.
Foundation... they spent money on everything but good writers
Picard season 3 was bait and switch. That ending was awful
I'd prefer they leave BSG alone and invest on something new
Another remake would be only worth it if Starbuck was a man in it.
One can see where the money is being spent on an Apple+ show like For All Mankind......but so many other shows seem to be throwing money away......or laundering it.
There will never be a better BSG than Space Mutiny.
If you cant do something properly, don't do it at all.
this news is for the best.
The original series was the best. The remake was to WOKE and DEI disaster and did gender and race swapping by delusional script writers and director. We don't need another crappy remake.
In a way, we already got a taste of how woke another BSG reboot would have been. Remember Another Life with Katee Sackhoff and how utterly despicable it was?
As a fan of the original series I was highly skeptical on the new 2014 reimagining. It gradually grew on me despite the changes in the premise, the timeline, and that stupid argument about how to spell "frack."
The new series is a different but very similar story.
I really don't think we're ready for yet another one yet.
I really enjoyed Leave the World Behind so I know there are good people out there who could do a good job with this.
Apple certainly has the money to put into a project like this but they tend to put their money into projects of real quality and this might not fit well alongside something like Foundation, which despite being rather different from the books is still a seriously quality production.
It might be a good idea to let it rest for a few decades as the reimagined series did, coming along thirty-five years after the original.
Too bad Dr. Who, Star Trek and Star Wars studios can't get that idea of dormancy vs sub par garbage writing just to keep things in the eye of those with short attention spans. Fans will wait for a good story. It's the impatient children of the tik tok age that loose interest if something is out of sight for more than thirty seconds.
What you don't take into account, is the fact that Cable TV is losing customers by the bucket full, and that means a lot less cash to invest into a series that has high costs! The Streaming services are becoming the places where these types of productions are going to happen. I do hope you are right, but so far 3 companies, 2 streaming and one cable company are going out of business so far in 2024.
Any modern show getting cancelled is good news.
BSG doesn't need a reboot. They should rather make the remaining Caprica episodes or elaborate the story of Blood & Chrome
They mess everything up I'm thinking.... Exec's are exec's wherever they work.
Who would do a good job?
Loved bingeing BSG. Modern audience revisionism also ruined ARCHER.
Yeah, I don’t want a rushed subpar BSG show.
Rebooting is a fine balance. The two versions did well and most science fiction is misding.
If Apple, FX, Amazon (The Boys and The Expanse Amazon) or HBO takes it over it will be fine, if Disney takes it over, hold on to your butts!
I really don't understand where is the "franchise" in BSG. There is one specific story with a beginning, a middle and an end.
In order for a franchise to exist there have to be potentially other stories in the same universe, and as Caprica has shown, there is not enough interest in the beginning of this story!!!
That is why they need to go back to the original format of the show, The original BSG had other planets with people and aliens, so BSG could have a lot more stories and a much more open universe.
To all the fans of BSG 2000s poo pooing a reboot, remember that fans of the original series felt the same about our beloved series.
Hopefully Disney doesn’t get involved. They would destroy everything good about BSG.
I have been hearing about a possible half hour live action, comedy Star Trek show. Sometimes dead is better.
Cable might be the answer, but SyFy has long had problems. Support for the final season of BSG was spotty, and they made an absolutely horrible deal when acquiring the Expanse, which is how they lost it to Amazon.
I think cable is just DOA at this point. But yes, better to see a project languishing in development hell shelved or picked up by someone who wants to MAKE it successful than to destroy yet another franchise chasing the lowest common denominator low-effort low budget garbage that'll crap on the franchise and get cancelled if it doesn't make 500K times its investment in the first twenty minutes. Do it right or don't do it! (And "right doesn't automatically mean the flashiest, highest-budget attempt possible.)
I was offered Apple+ for 3 months free. After one week, I cancelled it. Crap TV. Please bring a decent script BG to SYFY. I saw Amazon treat The Expanse with respect. Maybe they might do the same with BG?
I don't really want another BSG series right now. It's too soon since the last one. I can't say I am very interested.
I concur. It is good news. I wouldn't trust any 'remake' in this day and age. They would probably make Adama a drag queen, and have Galactica drag queen story time at the end of every episode.
I loved the show "V" as a kid, but was very disappointed in the reboot a few years ago. As a BSG fan, I don't want the same fate with this show. Waiting is better than a half hearted reboot.
@@LaserWoodShapes I loved the original miniseries and the tv series showing what happened after
How sad is it that the canceling of this news is actually good news for fans
