This is only going to be worth it if it gets "spiritually" tied to the RDM/ Eick series; otherwise, what's the point?
Maybe they could pull a DCEU and say that all the series happened in alternate timelines (man, too bad Adam West wasn't still alive for Crises!)
I was disappointed at the end of nuBSG too, because it seemed cobbled together at the last minute.
I would love to have seen "God" and the "angels" from nuBSG be something like The Ship of Lights people from the original...an advance and evolved god-like culture. Perhaps a culture that survived it's robot apocalypse and somehow the humans and cylon analogs from that culture evolved together into some kind of post-singularity being(s).
Maybe even future humans, why not?
Also the whole idea of these people abandoning ALL their technology to live as hunter-gatheres was stupid. The first time some kid dies if an easily fixable (with medical science) appendicitis, or a woman in childbirth, or there's a pandemic or bad harvest, they are gonna regret sending all their ships and tech into the Sun.
And we know how it all turned out...150,000 years of short and brutal lives. But maybe that beats a robot apocalypse and nuclear war?
But there were still places they could still explor in the BSG universe...if Blood and Chrome had been a real series and better done (bigger budget, less inconsistencies) they could still have called it "Battlestar Galactica".
And we could have explored the story of the Fall of Kobal and the founding of the original colonies (though some of the Fall of Kobal would be a little too Caprica-esqI guess. But I liked Caprica.)
Or maybe a Kobal Cylon War series.
Or BSG-esq rag-tag fleet from Kobal trying to make it to the colonies. But I guess they would have to have been chased by Cylons, and probably weren't, that wouldn't make sense I guess...plus I think their voyage was slower-than-light...but maybe I'm wrong...I mean *someone* had to be the one to get the story of the 13th Colony's saga back to the other 12, so it could be written down in that book if scriptures...unless Pythia saw it all psychically...I mean Pythia was a see-er in Earth legends...
Or what about humans from our near-future having a Cylon war, which was foreshadowed...and/or maybe coming across the 12 colony worlds (150K years might have made them habitable again...same for Earth 1, and even Kobal.) Encountering the evolved descendents of those feed Centurions ..who either could be humanoid themselves ...but likely have an almost religious-like law forbiding the recreation of humanoid Cylons, seeing how badly it went for them last time (they were enslaved by their own creations.)
Still, while I think it's still a bit too soon for a reboot/remake...give it 10 or 15 more years...but if it's done well and entertaining, I'll watch it.
I'd rather see a BSG-esq Macross Saga series...
