One question: WHY?! Though: "In a tweet posted after this story was originally written, Esmail clarified that the show is not a straight remake but instead something of a spinoff, "because... why mess with perfection? "

Tentatively interested

.

The BSG reboot was one of my favorite TV shows as a teen, though since then its downgraded to just 'very good' status. Beat that, and you have my close attention.

Reimagined BSG was a great series. No stupid aliens, just real human problems told from a sci-fi perspective. Too bad Caprica didn't kick off, it would have been nice to see how their worlds were before it went to hell.

I was really weirded out by the idea of yet another reboot. But now, I am very curious. Honestly, I don't have any idea what they are going to do with it. The story around the cylon war and the exodus seems to be told fairly extensively and has a very decent beginning, middle and ending, so I see little point to do a sequel or sidequel to that.
They tried the prequel idea with Caprica and it failed so I doubt they'll do that again.

Going back to the first cylon war would be weird IMO because they went with a lot of references to the old series in the little we saw of it and it kinda worked for the few flashbacks we got but as a whole series, I feel it would look weird and be a step back from the reimagined BSG.

So what will it be? I really don't know. But the 2000s BSG was fantastic, so I'll keep this on the radar.

I’m curious

I really liked the 2004 series and was upset when Caprica didn’t get a second season.

I’m not sure where they could take this without a reboot though. The most obvious route is the first war, but that doesn’t seem like it would have great potential in the same way the reboot did. I’d like to revisit the birth of the Cylons and pick up the Caprica story, but that doesn’t seem likely. A really distant prequel about the original Earth?

Wait, what???
First time I hear about it! This is interesting. Loved the 2004 series a lot. Only watched it a year or so ago for the first time. A dear friend of mine is a huge fan and said I gotta watch it to finally understand all of Mass Effect's influences.

I'm pretty sure whatever they're cooking up now won't turn out even half as good but I'm still curious and will check it out when the time comes.

I was just here. Where did I go...?
