Question: what was wrong with bsg 2005 to need a “reboot”? Hope its a new show not actually a reboot because those are some big shoes to fill

Very close to perfection, the only complaint I have personally is the ending was kind of.. eh? But not sure how they could possibly match some of those performances particularly Adama, and not sure it could be improved upon

To me, the show went downhill as the mysticism became the focus, so the reboot handling that aspect differently would be an improvement in my mind.

Same. First 2 seasons were insanely gripping but then it lots it's focus and turned into "actually, angels lol".

I really liked the miniseries, but the actual show was awful. It was very obvious the writers didn't have a plan and just made up new shit every episode. It had its moments, but it was very far from being perfect.

2006 Galactica is incredible except for the last 30 minutes. Having everything wrap up with supernatural incidents that were never hinted at felt like it undercut the visceral 4 season journey before it.

This article practically pretends that whole show didn't exist, and only refers to the miniseries.

They lack the creativity to come up with new IP so they rehash old shit knowing people are dumb enough to watch it.

It was great, but that's really why they are rebooting. Any successful show is more likely to get an instant audience if they reboot rather than try something new.

Then if it's good, the audience will stay. If it's not, they won't. Getting people to try something new is hard to build.

The problem is people often reward bad shows with views just because they liked the original. I've certainly given up watching any reboot until the first season is over and reviews are in and it's been reviewed. If they don't respect my time, I'm not playing their game.

Well at least its not another reality show where some prick buys leaves for a living to sell at turtles or something.

But they could expand i mean they are expanding star trek like there is no tomorrow’. Not all good but better than rebooting star trek tos. And it worked. But yeah…. Money…
