Any news on the Battlestar Galactica reboot?
The show didn't need the first crappy "reboot", let alone another even
worse one. :-\

The original is how is is meant to be by the person who actually had
the creative talent to make it.

The "reboot" was never meant to be a reboot at all, but was going to be
a "next generation" follow-on to the original show (and was already in
early production as such) ... then talentless hack Moore-Ron and the
management fools got involved and it became the barely recognisable
crap we ended up with that shouldn't even have the same name. :-(

Found more info. Apparently it will be set in the same place as th
Syfy sho

From S

The Battlestar Galactica coming to NBC's new streaming service
Peacock, will reportedly take place in the same universe as Syfy'
reboot of the classic sci-fi series. The original Battlestar Galatic
show ran on television from 1978 through 1979 when it was canceled b
ABC. In 2004, Syfy rebooted the series and it ran for four season
until 2009. This version of Battlestar Galactica also included som
webisodes that take place between seasons, two TV movies (Razer an
The Plan), a web series which also aired on TV as a two hour movi
(Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome), and Caprica, a preque
spinoff series that didn't make it very far

In Syfy's Battlestar Galactica, humans live on twelve colonize
planets where they invent a line of robots named Cylons for slav
labor. The Cylons soon rise up and a war breaks out, but eventuall
the Cylons retreat and stay away for more the fifty years, until on
day they return disguised as humans. The show follows Commander Adam
(Edward James Olmos), captain of a military space ship Galactica, a
he and his crew try to recover from the surprise attack an
infiltration

Now, Variety is reporting that the new series being produced by Mr
Robot writer/director Sam Esmail is set in the same universe as th
2004 Battlestar Galatica reboot. The new comes via writer Ronald D
Moore, the creator behind the 2004 reboot of the series, who share
with Variety that Esmail had reached out to tell him "he wante
to do something in the same universe.

One could argue this makes this Battlestar Galactica series less of
reboot and more of a continuation or spin-off, but for fans of th
show who have been waiting almost 10 years for more, this might b
splitting hairs. The new series should premiere this year, and it wil
be going up on NBC's new streaming platform Peacock, along with a lo
of other new shows in the coming years. For those who are intereste
in something else, though, there also a Battlestar Galatica movi
adaptation in the works at Universal, but there have sadly been fe
updates on that project

Battlestar Galactica has a devoted fan base and its 2004 reboot serie
received much critical acclaim, for good reason. The cast was stron
both individually and as an ensemble, and the plot twisted in excitin
if sometimes unpopular ways. The show's concepts of hidden enemies
artificial intelligence, and the complicated relationship we have wit
technology make it almost inevitable that Battlestar Galactica woul
be revived again someday, and it isn't at all surprising that a ne
series would want to play in the same universe as the celebrated Syf
series
