Battlestar Galactica Revival

I think I heard an Internet rumour that Red Mars was in the works.

I'd like someone to have a bash at the Culture novels.

I prefer The Expanse to BSG in a lot of ways, not least because it's proper hard Sci-Fi rather than a slightly half-arsed SF/mystic fantasy hybrid, but I don't think it reaches the heights of nailbiting drama BSG did at its peaks.

I think Amazon started working on a Culture TV show and gave up.

yeah Expanse is much more...clinical, maybe? it has a coldness and to it and isn't as interested in Big Obvious Themes or goopy love triangles xp

― DJI,

Fair play to be honest, it would need an absurd budget to do properly.

I tend to forget, when I'm reading Culture books, that many of the characters are weird multi-legged creatures and other things that might be tough to relate to as a television viewer.

I'm guessing they would just do the typical head loaf makeup that other scifi shows do.

animate it?

That would be rad

Sounds like it was Bank's estate that pulled the plug xps

Got my mom started on Galactica, should I warn her about the later seasons or make it a delightful surprise?

delightful surprise

100% agree.

Maybe take a health check after the season three opening episodes, that's the jump off point before you hit the weird part of the rollercoaster.

does she like the song "All Along the Watchtower" y or n?

The only song I’ve ever been sure she liked was “Sussudio.”

the Cylons woulda given themselves away by dancing

Serial killer doctor episode in season 3 merits my mom's first 100% critical text re: Galactica.
