Well, I wouldn't mind an actually coherent version of the story, which I suppose could be done with a movie.

I really enjoyed the modern series, of course, and I'm not a big hater of the ending, but I do think there was a lot more meandering than was necessary, especially since a lot of questions were left unanswered.

Maybe a movie would be more succinct, while retaining the interest of the basic story concept (that is: humans flee cylons, then find safety / redemption).

I hate to be too much of a negative Nancy after that thread from 2003. I'm not opposed to a reboot, but the timing seems odd. Seems too soon. The last reboot probably ended a bit early, and SyFy clearly wasn't done with the franchise given their attempts at creating prequels and sequels that never took off.

If you're going to climb back into the BG business, a reboot is the way to go. Strikes me as funny that again they are talking a movie/miniseries, which is exactly how the original and the first reboot got started before turning into series.

I'm just puzzled given how good the Ronald Moore reboot was why you would try it again so quickly. I'd stay away from Battlestar for at least 10 more years.

As someone who isn't into the Moore version, I'm more than happy to see a new reboot.

Man, I miss this show. This is one of my favorite scenes where Galactica is getting attacked by three Cylon basestars, and then Pegasus comes in guns blazing to save the day.

Well Kodos, if you wait about 150,000 years or so, it will probably be back on for you to watch. God that ending was just horrible.

Yeah, the ending could have been better, but the journey was great. Ending when they found the nuked planet might have been better.

I'm a BSG fan but still don't quite understand the deeper story line but enjoy each episode as-is. I've googled on it and still not quite grasping it.

Bought the DVD set when it first came out.

There is the religious element. Monotheism v. Polytheism.
And them landing in the cradle of civilization.

That was a great ending in my opinion.
