I thought that was a great analogy. For a while after "Hand of God" I think they would have travelled a bit without planets, so more stories among the fleet

Characters growing in logical directions. Many characters. Maybe a few new characters. Boxey slightly older, Muffit a bit more developed. How could Muffit develop? Not sure, Boxey has been tasked to train Muffit, has been a while.

The Pilot banter. Apollo and Starbuck are a good duo, but what happens as Apollo and Sheba spend more time together. How much longer can Starbuck ignore how he and Cassiopia are progressing?

Pegasus pilots had to join the ranks of the Galactica. Would some of them scan the airwaves looking for their beloved commander Cain? What happens when they find Pegasus?

Do we deal with the aftershock of the holocast? Some people shutting down in the after math as people come to terms with what was lost?

An inventory of resources throughout the story. At times they trade for resources, and sometimes they have to look among the fleet for items of interest to the races they encounter. Sometimes there is no one to trade with, and they have to work with what is left. At times they have to come to a stand still till scouts find the next source of trade. All and all not bad. Cylons and those persuing are for the most part way behind, though new menaces are still around.

Would other Battlestars and sub battlestars be found?

Would alien ships join their fleet?

Look more into the religion that Adama and all follows.

More culture, terminology, more exploring into the brother's of man concept. More human colonies found, alien races. Progress towards Earth, and setbacks. As more human colonies are found, some pretty advanced, the question comes up more and more "Why the hurry to Earth? Is there an Earth?"

Cylons? I would actually like to see that threat minimized. Show up from time to time, learn more about them as a culture. They are machines though, the ghosts of a civilization long gone. What would a race without a soul, just an echo of the living be like?

Those are some I would touch on. I liked the banter, characters, and development of all the above.

I could agree with that.

A couple of shout outs:

1) Loved the meeting hall pic where the dialog starts "In the Seventh Millennium..."

2) Loved Apollo's comment with Dr. Zee Starting with "I know you think highly of Zee, Doctor...." Always wondered what they would have thought of him.

What happens towards the end of the comic is typical for a Galactica episode when you think about it.

The issue definitely didn't thrill me but it was better than what we've seen in previous Dynamite series. I'd only give it a 2/5, though... There's so much potential but the writers just couldn't seem to tap into it, IMO.

Alex Ross or the artists that did Space:1999 Shock and Awe should be doing the interior artwork.

So for $3.99 you get a great piece of Alex Ross art... and a story line throw in.

Judging by Dynamite's handling of the Classic Battlestar Galactica franchise. The Cover art is all we're paying for. The story line, not so much. This one is not starting out good. Doctor Zee is closer to Boxey's age. In Galactica:1980 Zee is 14 years old. Boxey is close to 25-30.

#4 cover looks very good.
I agree about the 4 dollar art piece, the few dynamite comics I do own dont have such great content.

In the show the camera always zooms to one of the large dome shapes near the middle of the ship. I think it is implied that it may be in that area.

Hmm...I always got the impression those were the power-producing "energizers" of the ship. Either that or Tylium/Soleum storage.

I agree the domes are probably related to the energizers, but the camera move implies that it in that area.
If I were going to choose a location for it based on the surface features of the galactica I'd put it a little aft of the bridge.

that is what I always believed, somewhere aft of the Bridge.

these would the the things I would address in any visual update of BSG...

I meant in this issue. The glass above and behind Adama looks suspiciously like the gift shop area on the re-imagined BSG landing bay during the viper flyby.
