NBC is planning to reboot Battlestar Galactica for the second time. What do you think? - eviltoast

I am personally against it despite Sam Esmail’s involvement (I really liked Mr. Robot). It’s not that I don’t think it could be a good show, it’s that NBC has plenty of other properties from former science fiction shows they could redevelop, but they’re redeveloping this one instead.

If they want to reboot a show for the third time, why not V considering the first reboot was so disappointing? Or maybe go for the 90s nostalgia and reboot SeaQuest DSV or Earth 2.

And then there’s all the Sci-Fi Channel/SyFy properties they have at least some stake of ownership in.

I realize asking for something original is asking too much these days, but can’t we at least do something other than Battlestar Galactica every 20 years?

I’m willing to be open-minded and give the show a chance if it gets produced, but I don’t think it should be produced in the first place.

      Fair enough. Did you watch it as it was airing originally?

      I ask because I felt the writers strike really hampered it at the time. Just felt like it lost a lot of momentum that I thought it retained on a rewatch.

        I did. I memed the so say we all and everything on deadeddit. It definitely was the latter seasons that I don’t think held up as well. Seemed like it meandered.

          Ah it definitely did meander. Totally agree there. I just felt it was less meander-y on a rewatch. I watched all the web series in with the rewatch and they helped too I thought.
