   A source at Universal also confirmed this, and said this will be in line with the TOS Battlestar Galactica, NOT the RDM interpretation.

   Don’t expect names like William, Lee, or Kara attached to Adama, Apollo, or Starbuck.

   Also, don’t be looking for a sports bra on Starbuck.

   This is complete bullshit. Why the hell would they re-imagine it again? The new “re-imagined” BSG previously on SciFi (SyFy, lol) is Battlestar Galactica struck gold with their character development, story line, visual effects, everything! The show was and still is amazing. It completely surpassed the original BSG from the 70’s and in my opinion and the opinion of many other fans it should be the only version of BSG.

   70’s BSG barely finished a first season let alone only lasted 1 year. It can’t even compete with the success of BSG 2003’s 4 seasons, 2 movies, and a prequel spin off and not to mention 6 year run! (This will probably fire up the 70’s BSG fan boys, and yes I intentionally failed to mention the BSG 80’s show due to the fact it blew as well)

   If these movie execs had any common sense they’d bank of the story it BSG 2003 setup. To go back and attempt to make a campy Star Wars rip off movie is an insult to movie patrons everywhere.

   Way to go Universal Pictures, good luck with this one. You’re gonna need it!

   FANTASTIC NEWS! Now maybe we can see a reimagining more faithful to the original Battlestar Galactica, and hopefully Singer and his team will take the time to think out their story from start to finish instead of just meandering along for years on end and throwing something nonsensical together for the conclusion.

   Adama, your post reminds me of how a lot of fans of the original BG feel toward Moore’s version. If this project actually sees the light of day, the tables may actually be turning. IMO, BG has enough greatness about it to survive many “reimaginings” for years and years to come.

   Sorry Adama, but your “precious” barely made it thru season 3 before the Network was pushing to axe it due to poor ratings. Ronnie had to beg and plead to be allowed a final season to “wrap things up”.

   And a piss poor job he did too. God Did It… Bleh

   Face it, without pre-paid Stealth marketing, and the Zealot members of the Church of Ron Moore sqwalking about it’s “Genius” your “precious” is Lifetime Network material with Space Ships

   Uh-oh. Sounds like another Dirk Benedict-worshipper who thinks a woman is a castrated man.

   @TOS some fans of the original are now more fans of Moore’s version. I’m guessing many of those will also end up being fans of Singer’s version…at least I hope so.

   @RAY ditto

   @ Callahan. Katee Sackhoff’s Starbuck was far more interesting, engaging, and even tougher than Dirk Benedicts. For me, I’d rather see a female Starbuck like she portrayed than a male one like Benedicts – and yes, I was a fan of the original series too. Let’s hope that whichever way Singer’s team go, they give the Starbuck character depth.

   @ MC LOL
