DVR'd it. Hoping to watch this tomorrow night.

This was a lot of fun. I'd totally watch a new series based on these characters. I really loved it. Some of the CGI was remarkably bad. But I liked the story.

It's funny how a network that goes by SyFy refuses to promote a show that not only embodies the best of what science fiction storytelling can bring, but a show that is nearly universally loved by fans and critics alike. If HBO/Showtime/Cinemax would get the rights to the series, I would be willing to bet that it woud be a ratings bonanza for them. |

I watch a couple of current SyFy series (Continuum and Being Human) and they are constantly advertising their new show coming in April (Defiance) but I didn't see a single ad for this new BSG. It was like they were intentionally trying to have bad ratings. |

Yeah, so....
Universal is preparing to start work on a Battlestar Galactica movie. Variety says the studio is planning to completely reimagine the sci-fi story — in which space-bound humans fend off the attacks of nefarious cybernetic Cylons as they try to find a new home — just five years after the four-season Syfy TV show drew to a close. The planned film would mark the second time Battlestar Galactica has been rebooted after the original show aired in 1978. Jack Paglen, the writer of the upcoming Transcendence, has agreed to pen the reboot's screenplay. Paglen is a hot property for studios wanting to create sci-fi at the moment: he's also slated to write Ridley Scott's Prometheus sequel. Glen Larson, who worked on the 1970s TV series, will produce the film, but there's no confirmation yet on who'll take on the role of director. Bryan Singer was originally attached to a Battlestar Galactica movie project in 2011, but the production was put on hold in 2013 after the director committed to working on new X-Men movies. Having agreed to direct 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse, Singer is unlikely to have time to work on developing a new Battlestar. http://www.theverge.com/2014/4/7/559...ll-be-a-reboot |
This is how it always starts.
They'll probably just make a new movie and put it on SyFy. It will be decent, but nothing like it could have been. |

I just don't see how you can properly do a BG story in a movie unless they are planning several.
