I can’t put into words how much I loved the new Battlestar Galactica. The first two seasons I maintain are the best two seasons of television the small screen has ever known.
Piggy backing on the success of sci-fi juggernaut “Star Wars”, the 1970’s television show “Battlestar Galactica” took to the air telling the tale of 11 human worlds suddenly attacked and wiped out by their robotic creations, leaving only a rag tag fleet of ships to carry on humanity as they run from their hunters in search of a mythological 12th human planet known as earth.
The show was reborn in 2003 as a remaining of the original series while staying very true to the mythology of the 70’s show. The new series was an amazing success developing a very passionate fan base. The show finished out it’s 4 year story line and aired its finale on March 20th.
Now, just months later it appears that Battlestar Galactica is heading quickly for its third incarnation… a feature film that will not be connected with either of the original 2 television series. This time director Bryan Singer (X-Men 1 & 2, The Usual Suspects, Superman Returns) will be developing the project for Universal who recently acquired the rights.
Were you a fan of either of the first two Battlestar Galactic incarnations? If so, are you ready for a third version?
