Having read the premise to this, the story sounds like it is the answer to many a Classic Battlestar Galactica fan's dream. For too long, since the outset of Ronald D. Moore's reimagining of Battlestar Galactica, many fans of the original show have been portrayed as being "stuck in the 70's", not wanting to see physical changes to the characters, special effects, or the story.

This project seeks to throw all that out the airlock like so much felgercarb. The story being proposed and presented in audio format will be the darker, edgier Battlestar Galactica that the original story premise called for, but will stay true to the source material, living proof that the original Battlestar Galactica can evolve beyond its perceived 1978-80 trappings without radically changing the core and spirit of the tale itself.

I like where this project is headed. It intends to focus on the strife within the Fleet...and not so much on the epic space battles (although I do hope there are a few planned). In an effort to show that truly epic stories of good vs. evil can still have a lasting impact...and is sought out by today's audiences. Tales told with truly noble heroes, and ruthless, clear cut villains, this seeks to espouse the spirit of the original Battlestar Galactica, with its messages of hope, and family as while fleeing the Cylon tyranny, the last Battlestar Galactica leads a Rag Tag Fugitive Fleet on a lonely quest. A shining planet known as Earth.

There is a lot of talent out there, both in writing, producing, and voice acting, and with such a pool of talent gathered around this particular project, this story promises to be a Battlestar Galactica audio series to remember.

The time to support Classic Battlestar Galactica storytelling is now!
