I like caprica I think he meant when they killed the kid we thought was adama and was actually his older brother that was killed. And the adama we know was named after him..

Battlestar Galactica (2004 version) getting new TV series from "Mr. Robot" creator Sam Esmail (Update: Not a remake)
- Thread starter TheBioLover
- Start date
Very well. The CGI space battles haven't deteriorated nearly as badly as I thought they would. The heavily-saturated on-location sequences actually hold up the worst. Apocalyptic alien landscapes are very, very obviously Vancouver.
I did a rewatch last year for the first time since it originally aired. I still love it.
I see you caprica
Esmail gonna do a whole show about a Pyramid team, and how one of the top players is actually a cylon
The 3rd and 4th seasons are a mess thematically but I still love em for the character drama
After season 4 I kinda fell off BSG entirely. I think it really needed a remake after that mess.
Hopefully not a prequel, we already had two prequel attempts fail. Folks here seem to forget about Blood and Chrome
Yes please, someone remake B5. Also someone please remaster and give us a special edition rerelease of the show to fix the special effects preventing it from getting proper HD release
It is perfection, but think if they are gonna keep redoing old series, lets give B5 a chance for a modern makeover instead of the same shows over and over.
i do agree - that last season and a half was the epitome of missed opportunity
I completely forgot Sam is doing this one, and that its not a reboot. BSG was one of my favorite series and it still holds up, mostly because it took a completely different approach to hard sci-fi trek type shit, and just had really good emotional acting and storytelling. Makes me not as disappointed Mr Robot ended.
Wow, I legitimately forgot that Caprica even existed until I read your post. I think I only watched the first 3 or 4 episodes back then, which didn't really do anything for me.
There's a lot of open threads within BSG. If this isn't a prequel (and I really hope it isn't), then they could go with an Earth setting in the future, or they could explore what the Cylons did after BSG ended. Maybe a bit of both.
Or, as you say, they could insert another story about another ship (or fleet) running from the destruction of the Colonies, or (if they want to go way back) the destruction of Earth, or the destruction of Kobol. They'd technically be prequels I guess, but without the disadvantage of us knowing how the story would end.
I don't think Blood & Chrome even got a proper chance to fail, but yes, even if it had been given a chance I doubt it would have achieved a whole lot.
Either a 13 Tribe sequel, or an After Earth sequel so to speak.
Since the universe is a loop, they could just set up another war with the cylons.

An actual sequel would be "our" future though, which just doesn't seem like an interesting story.
Unless they do the Transformers thing and show how some of the great historic figures in history were Human-Cylon hybrids and they just tell those stories. lol

I would love if the story was set in modern day with NASA spotting the derelict Battlestar Galactica orbiting the sun somewhere beyond Mercury and mounting a mission to explore and retrieve it.
The only way this works is if they somehow manage to find the space to make a sequel, because honestly, a prequel or side story would be deflating for me, considering how it all ends.
I watched it for the first time about a year ago, it was amazing until the final episode. Especially the Pegasus episode.
The worst ending of all time hasn't improved with age though
Oh I was wrong. It was Earth all along. Well you finally made a monkey, yes you finally made a monkey, you finally made a monkey out of me.

Little Drummer Girl was fantastic, so that's some solid news.
Homecoming (which he also directed), Briarpatch (which was only just OK).
4 years on and we are finally "going to pilot soon" says Esmail. He also says he isn't going to recapture the Moore magic as that is firmly in the post-9/11 society for its story roots. He feels like BSG should be a show that captures the feelings of the time it is being made in, so his version will have very 2020s style issues to inform their stories.
Also, he is taking the reins of the pilot, but will still be handing it off to other show runners as he wants a variety of voice telling this story.

That's cool. Does he have another, major show or movie planned that he will lead? I was hoping he'd devote more energy to this beyond directing a pilot.
