I love the remake. I also grew up loving the original BSG. I think this would have been a great film or series. Anything that washes away the bad taste of BSG:1980!

@bananaramamark Actually, although Hatch's project looks interesting, it looks a lot less developed, interesting, mature, modern and thought-provoking than the new BSG that was actually made.

@teainthesahara : You have a point, but the new BSG and old BSG are completely different beasts - BSG '78 is firm rooted in the 'Space Opera' tradition of Sci-Fi; maturity and thought-provoking *isn't* even on the resume, but rough-and-ready adventure was. We're talking the old school, "Pulp" Sci-fi of Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers - heck, even John Carter of Mars. Hatch's project is more in keeping with this tradition, even if it's concepts hailed from another era. BSG '02 had other goals in mind.

@Tigadee00 The new series, was confirmed right after Caprica was cancelled. I forget the name of it. It's about 10 years after Caprica if I remember correctly. They are actually thinking of doing another spin off too. I believe the new series was set for the 2011/2112 season, probably late fall or early winter my guess. It's sy fy that is doing it. As for the movie, it is a Glen Larson movie based on TOS, and it was confirmed about a year ago for 2012, but who knows if it is on schedule.

@bananaramamark Gotta agree with ya. How firm is the news on the BSG 2012 movie? New series? Really? That'd be awesome! I don't care if they use unknowns but as long as it stayed true to the spirit of the original series. A good show doesn;t need hard drinking, hard sex, or hard to understand characters or plots. I don't mind long story arcs either... I think towards the end of the series, the original also had some multi-episode story arcs that were quite intriging, but just don't go overboard!

[bananaramamark]

@Tigadee00 The new series did have it's moments, great special effects. But I thought it was too dark, very slow, and boring characters. Poor casting I thought, did not like any of the main actors, but I know they mainly went with unknowns to keep the costs down. The only episodes I enjoyed were with Pegasus. But I did watch it from start to finish. But Caprica, only made it through the first 2 episodes,...no wonder it was cancelled. I hope the 2012 Galactica movie is better, and the new series.

[Tigadee00]

@bananaramamark While I enjoyed the re-imagined series as a sci-fi show, but I still love the original or BSG TOS better - no matter how campy or hippy the current or future generations may see it... It was fun and serious - never took itself seriously, yet delivered great moments and influences.

naughty does NOT translate to 'méchant'

[joshualwilliams1981]

does anyone under 30 hate the new BSG? I just gotta ask cause I watched the 1st series when I was a kid and really grew out of it. I didn't watch the new show because of that and only got into it around season 3 and was addicted and LOVED the new show. Believe it or not. I know, that sounds odd. But I gotta ask, does anyone under 30 agree with loving the old series over the new? It seems so campy. Not being negative or combative, I just calls them as I sees them.

@pdtst1 They do have a movie planned but it ignores Richard Hatch's idea. I believe the studio wants it to the "their" idea. The one mistake, and it was a huge one, that Hatch made was not contacting Universal. I believe that they will never use his idea because he didn't involve them. They will throw a good idea away just to be the big dog. The big dog barks the loudest even though it might bark in the wrong direction.

[TheHorsenation]

I just love Richard. He's such a fun guy and good actor.

I really like the new series, but it got a bit odd sometimes in the last season.

the ending was kinda ok, although I'd have loved to see a bit more of the ending.

Also it was a bit silly to just send the ships away.

the old series was fun too, unfortunately they ended it too soon too without reaching earth afaik.
