The re-imagined Battlestar Galactica is NOT Battlestar Galactica.
I tried many, many times watching the re-imagined series…couldn’t stomach it…too dark, violent, rape..that’s not science fiction.
Starbuck IS a man…
I can’t wait to see Battlestar Galactica at the movies and the way it was meant to be…
VIVA LARSON!

I for one am looking forward to the new movie. I most definantly a fan of the old version, and was never able to get into the new version. Perhaps because of the humanoid looking cylons, or Starbuck getting a sex change. I also feel the new vesion by what I here is more of a drama than a sci-fi show. I also think fans of the new show have been blessed with a longer series that will provide some finality. I think the movie can’t be much of a prequel. It has to focus on the last known Battlestar leading a rag tag group of other ships looking for earth. But keep it sci-fi. Life has to much drama to make up for what the movie may lack.

Sorry to correct your history, but the original series was NOT a failure. The original series premiered with such high ratings, that the network forced Glen Larson to move to series immediately. The original plan was to wait a year, giving them time to develop scripts, and produce special effects work. We saw the result, the original film was excellent, the quality of the series was equally good considering how rushed it was. When the series was canceled it was still in the top ten for ratings. The network pulled the plug because of the high costs of each episode.

I am sorry to disagree with so many, but the new incarnation of BSG is horrible. Sure the original series was somewhat campy, but it had a much greater depth than the new series. The new series is so full of dysfunctional characters, it makes it difficult to care about them. The new BSG is a better drama, but the original is better science fiction. If a re-booted movie is to be made by Glen Larson, and he is able to return BSG to its roots, it is something I would love to see.

I for one would love to see the original Battlestar Galactica series continue on from where it last left off.
Don’t get me wrong, I still love the new series. However to many things where changed from the original series.
I think Glen A. Larson would do a fantastic job bringing back the old series.
Keep Battlestar Galactica alive.

bsg movie:

leave Battlestar alone…really. It is rare that a remake of anything supercedes the original incarnation, whether it be a song, tv show or movie. Battlestar Galactica was once described by Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian as being like a pair of Nike Air Jordans being made from a picture of a few guys playing basketball from the fifties. The producers and writers gave this show new life, new purpose and new meaning. Why do another?? Start something new for Frak’s sakes!! Hollywood wants to capitalize on everything from the Hulk, the Punisher, Dukes of Hazzard etc. etc. You seriously are gonna piss off alot of people who love this show and those who are old enough to remember watching the original 78 series will probably skip this too since some of the ones who loved the original didn’t bite on the reimagined tv series and some actually did. With that said, do a movie in a few years that bridges the gap between the series Caprica and Battlestar, just don’t do anything independent. People will reject it, trust me and the voice of other fans behind my words…it will flop. Don’t buy into the hollywood buzz on this show!!!! If you do buy into the buzz, tie it into the two shows itself. Show the first Cylon war, show the meeting of Adama and Tye. Seriously, something independent of both will not go well with revenues and fans alike!!

I’d love to see it honestly, after watching the re-imagined series religiously since day 1 and how the last season and a half failed hard and how the finale failed even more .. I really would like to see the original series I saw as a kid updated to the 21st century and brought back. I loved the first 3 seasons of the new series, but the rest . . . Yeah..I’ll just wait for the movie.

Maybe it will be more like the old BSG in that was less contemporary. The re-imaged BSG has been very contemporary in many aspects of today’s earth, a “President” for example, and much of the references and language. There are no aliens, no outer colonies, no 12 cylon human models, etc…

I’m sure the movie will have great visuals, but maybe keep it simpler like the old BSG story of machine vs. man? Maybe expand a bit on the 12 gods more, or where the original colonies came from?

There is still lots to explore…

Agreed, a movie based on the new rendition of the show would be much better than the old and would be more interesting to see what take they would have on it and if the movie would pick up where the show left off the other night. However, I was not entirely satisfied with Anders ending and would like to see him somehow return in the movie

the new BSG on sci fi channel is more realistic true sci-fi story if you read sci fi timeline then you know human will be resistant to the coming of AI in the future because human are conservative to their belief religion etc etc…but all are part of evolution and human must accept to give AI its equal rights by accepting AI rights humans will evolve to a more higher conciousness as a race in sci fi we call this upliftment i think this is the line of the new BSG 2000′s series thats why i like it
