Battlestar Galactica To Be Rebooted For NBC "Peacock" Streaming Service

Frak me, Battlestar Galactica is being rebooted, with Mr. Robot's Sam Esmail at the helm.

I seriously doubt they can top Ronald D Moore's interpretation.

Another reboot? Shouldn't they just pick one of the first two incarnations and make a soft reboot?

I've never seen any version of this show, but I love science-fiction and constantly hear it being praised. Maybe I should finally get on that.

Go for it, man. The reboot is excellent.

Oh jeeze. It is reportedly going to be all about "the politics of today."

Yes, but is Tricia Helfer involved? Asking the REAL questions here...

I've never seen anything BSG, what is worth checking out? The old show/movies or the new show, spin-offs? Are they all in continuity like star trek or just reboots?

The 2004 BSG is entirely it's own thing, separate from the classic series.

The 70s one is super-cheesy, I prefer it over the bleaker modern show because I grew up on it, but the latter is the one most would recommend watching.

I remember the original series. That series came out because of how big Star Wars was back in the 70s. They had one of the VFX creators work on the series too. The original series had kind of a Star Wars vibe with the ship designs and the Zylons were kind of like the Stormtroopers.
