Default Then let's push for a mini-series

It's obvious to me by now that the idea of using new characters is not because this is going to be a one-time deal, Ron wants to re-start the series.

Well, how about this. Ron can do a series with new BSG and we push for a mini-series with our original actors.

Star Trek did it. Heck, they had the TOS people doing the movies and TNG doing television.

Why can't we? What do you guys think?

Default A feature film instead

I think Ojai had a good idea to push for a feature film.
A good 3to4 movie ark to tie up the original series and set the stage for a whole new generation.

Features are what got the momentum going to bring back Trek in TNG

OJAI22 was right, we need a feature film or several to tie it all together.

Default Not to be a downer but:

Feature film rights went to the Larson's already, didn't they? I thought that's how Uni. & the Larson's settled that one: Larson's=film rights, Uni.=anything TV. ??

Right.
Feature films to tie up the series.
Say over the course of 3 or so movies the fleet finds earth has an epic showdown with the cylons in earth orbit and everyonelives happy ever after.

Enough hype is generated from that to begin work on a new series set a hundred or so years later with an all new cast & all new situations.
They could even a "Dee Kelly" style camio with an aged Commander Apollo seeing the new Galactca off on her maiden voyage.

I thought that Larson only had rights to make movies about Pegasus?

Not one I can clarify, I am remembering a statement from the Larsons, post-settlement that didn't mention which parts of the property the to which their feature film rights applied.
