YES YES YES!!!

Battlestar Galactica as it is meant to be seen. Big Budget, Epic Scale, TOS Universe. No Angsty, Dysfuntional characters. No Emo Soap Opera nonsense. No convoluted God Did It hoohaa.

Bryan Singer Directing, Glen Larson overseeing HIS Creation.

I always had problems with the Ronald Moore version of Battlestar Galactica. My biggest problem is that the people seemed to be as if they came from Earth and were seeking the colonies instead of the other way around with all the cigarette smoking, as well as use of phrases and words that are more in tune with our Earth history which would not be known by Capricans. I had many other issues like how they completely ignored the idea of the various colonies on different planets that was brought out in the orignal series and how the Cylons were made by us. That was too much like the Terminator. So I have high hopes for a Bryan Singer version that continues the story of the orignal Galactica with that fantastic music, great looking robots and more…..I’ll give this to Ronald Moore: He created the first real reimagining of a series that actually worked compared to The Bionic Woman, Knight Rider and other lame versions of the original. Then again, this did seem like the white trash-version of the original Galactica with great cliff hangers and surprises.

I won’t be watching that one. I was a huge fan of the first series. I even watched the ridiculous Galactica 1980. But after having watched Ronald Moore’s Battlestar, and then going back to rewatch the original series on DVD, the original series was more of a comedy, cheesy, etc. If it is made, I will not be watching it. The new standard is Ronald Moore’s vision. Perhaps 20 years from now if they wish to revisit the old series and that plot line, they might get a better reception. Ronald Moore’s version was clearly ultimately superior to the original product. It should be honored as such.
