Battlestar Galactica reboot to get new reboot from Mr. Robot creator
- Thread starter JournalBot
- Start date
Will the reboot of the reboot be about Cylons fleeing genocidal humans (who have somehow altered themselves to look like robots)?

I have to say that the pilot blew me away (just found it randomly so I came without any preconceptions). However, I lost interest after Season 2 and I haven't heard great things about the last season.

I would much rather see a soft reboot of Firefly, different characters but the same style and universe.

J. Micheal Strazincsky (spelling) won't let it happen. he has control of the IP and as such is actively blocking such attempts.
While it saddens me to know that B5 won't be rendered in high quality productions it makes me happy to know that a cheap rip off also won't happen.

I'm more interested in the Metropolis remake considering the political and economic climate we are currently living in. I'm also of the mindset that Trent Renzor would be an excellent choice to do the sound track for it.

Why would they want to ruin a series already ruined by the last guys' last two seasons?

Comcast: terrible
Sam Esmail: awesome
Smoosh the two. The show will be average.

Its worse than that. JMS has movie rights and WB has TV rights and refuses to sell to JMS.

I thought he was open to the idea with a new cast but it would require significant funding for him to sign off on it. Last I heard, his ideal was a series of movies though I'm not sure how he'd fit the narrative of the TV into a much more compressed for the theater time. I won't say that that is impossible as he has proven to be remarkably adaptive in terms of scheduling and scripting but much of the soul of Babylon 5 is in the B and C plots of an episode. Focusing on the A plots I feel would make the such a remake feel generic.

This is a sign of utter lack of creativity in Hollywood now. Original content has largely been replaced with remakes and reboots. I can understand one reboot if the original was a dog, as the original BSG was. But a reboot of a fantastic reboot?!?
I'll take a hard pass on this one, should it actually come to fruition.

nBSG started strong. The miniseries showed promise and season 1 was incredible. Season 2 was very good as was the first part of Season 3. But Ron Moore ran out of ideas at the end of season 2, and so there was no direction. The Cylons never had a plan.
Sam Esmail, the man with a vision. In charge of BSG. This has serious promise.

One of my favorite things about BSG is that, with the exception of the FTL jumps, there is just about nothing* on screen that looks like “special effects”. Nobody’s got laser guns, teleporters, etc. I found that so refreshing for a space opera.
*With the exception of the thing where 6’s spine glows when she gets off, that I was so glad they backed away from.

SW is popular, Disney+ has SW. NBC+ needs a SW.
same reason BSG was probably created in the first place.

Portlandia had an episode on BSG - evokes what happened to my partner and I who ended up binging on the series.

Actually, the question is "how long before they're rebooting shows that haven't even started yet"...

Can we put a 50-year ban on cast photos where they recreate Da Vinci's last supper so that the idea has some time to become original and profound again?

Wait, wait, unless I recall incorrectly, JMS has been more than interested in doing a proper clean up of the material for Blueray/4K release and WB, more specific, someone at WB that seems to have some kind of vendetta with JMS, is actively blocking this and the same applies to anything else TV related, like reboots.
Let me see if I can find that link.
