Rhade,
I agree with you in that the.. "Loss of the established fanbase, however, is potentially devastating." I do not know the percentage of (sorry folks) 'Old Guard' vs. Newcomers. I know it's certainly not 50-50, but it probably is more than 99-1.
The point that I was trying to make is that Universal may not be convinced of the potential audience numbers to which a re-make would be acceptable. That may be enough to cool their interest and cause them to consider postponing or even cancelling production. Vocal and passionate about the Moore script, as they are, there may not be enough 'new' people to warrant the expenditure necessary to produce the re-make, not if the 'established fanbase' leaves in droves. I will guarantee myself as one who absolutely will NOT have anything to do with a re-made BSG if produced according to the existing Moore Script.
The only problem is that they are holding many of the cards now, not all the cards, but many of them. We just have to keep the faith, do what ever we can to promote the idea of keeping the existing storyline intact, and basically wait and see.
Hope this clarified my previous comments.
Keepin' the faith,
BST
