Ah, but the potential to make a profitable franchise is always on all of their radar screens.
Galactica still holds records, almost 25 years past her 1st broadcast. And at the very least the general public can still tell a Cylon from a stormtrooper. Hmmm. My money is still on a stop being thrown by someone before this thing airs.
Remember how Fox threw a stop on the original Firefly pilot and it was rewritten over the weekend and shot the next week? And that pilot was a good, NEW story! There was no established fanbase that had screamed themselves hoarse opposing it! (eventually Fox used it as the finale, but they'd have thrown it in file 13 in the ol' Fox film vault without the fans raising a rucous about seeing it.)
No, my dear, until the signal hits the cable wire or the broadcast satellite: anything can and may happen. This is BSG, she's even bitten hands that respected her before.
