In 2019, Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail announced that he was working on a reboot of Battlestar Galactica, the sci-fi series from the late 1970s about humanity st
I’d like to see a sequel series where Humanity and Cylons have come to some kind of truce or alliance (kinda just retcon the finale). Bring a different dynamic to the franchise than just humans vs Cylons. Maybe they encounter an alien enemy, maybe they are fighting against different factions of humans/cylons who disagree with the truce. Now that I’m thinking about it it sounds a lot like The Expanse, so maybe it would be redundant anyway.
I’d watch a version where the Cylons completely or almost completely wipe out humanity and then have an existential crisis like ‘now what the fuck do we do and why do we do it’.
I’m torn about this.
As good and enjoyable as the last reboot was, I don’t feel it’s aging that well.
The graininess of the image and the jarring cuts between scenes (in an attempt to make things feel grittier and realer) doesn’t do any favors to BSG.
Also that ending. I don’t care if people wanna try and argue it fits. It was utter shit and is pulled practically from thin air.
People wanna argue that the religuous stuff was there from the beginning - doesn’t mean the ending works or even fits as a whole.

“Can’t we talk to the humans? A little understanding could make things better. Can’t we talk to the humans and -…”
“- No, because they are dead”
That ending is exactly why a do over would be good. That can’t fuck it up that bad twice.
