Continuing the discussion from What Are You Watching (TV Series, etc.)? 
:
Just saw this earlier this week
I had no idea they’re making a new one. The reboot is my favorite sci-fi show.
Let’s hope this time they actually have a plan.
Or don’t and don’t claim they have a plan.
I wouldn’t mind a reboot of Babylon 5, BSG was done already 
This won’t be the same. BSG worked because it was the perfect allegory for the war on terror (culminating in the incredible third season on New Caprica).
This time around an AI takeover seems a lot more plausible. Maybe it will feel even more grounded?
Did anyone watch the Caprica show?
I think I watched one or 2 episodes, then completely forgot about it. I’m going to have to dig it up and watch it now out of curiosity (unless I forget again as I have quite a busy weekend).
Way too many subplots. Hard to keep track of.
I watched more episodes than @Shaun008 , but I also failed to finish the series.
Katee Sackhoff’s Battlestar React-ica is great for anyone who likes to see actors first reactions to plots they weren’t unvovled in and recount funny stories. So far Later and her husband have invited Aaron and Tricia to their watch-alongs.
But it sounds like BSG is not coming. And tbh, the 2004 version still holds up really well and the themes aged perfectly with AI right now.
My worry with a new BSG is studios misunderstands what made it good and blow the budget on CGI and FX with big name actors. If they did reboot it, the Ai themes could be good if it’s not just surface level as humans good and Ai is bad.
