I keep hearing this and frankly, I think it's felgercarb of the bovine variety.
Thinking like this justifies burying
Battlestar Galactica and allowing a pretender to take its place. Thinking like this allows the over-write of an entertainment icon, and a sci-fi treasure.
Thinking like this makes me cranky.
But thanks to thinking like this, I now believe any possibility of seeing a professional studio production actually based on
Battlestar Galactica in the next 10 years is virtually nil. It almost certainly eliminates any possibility of a production including the original actors. Universal would have to give permission, too - and we all know what boneheads inhabit the loftier levels of the Black Tower.
That's not to say everyone at Universal is a bonehead - but you have to wonder sometimes.
I hope I'm wrong, but in the meantime it's up to people like us to keep the old girl alive and kicking. And maybe, just maybe, before we die we will see something out of Hollywood that we can identify as
Battlestar Galactica.
