I opted to ignore the original question about nuBSG in a thread
specifically about the original's anniversary. There's been plenty of compare-and-contrast discussed over the years. So in your later post in this non-nuBSG thread, since you didn't mention you were going off-topic again, I sought clarification. I
thought you meant nuBSG, but... this isn't a thread about that show, so I wasn't sure. :behave
FWIW, while I
might have liked nuBSG if had been its own thing (maybe with about
half the unceasing melodrama), I
hated it as something purporting to be "Battlestar Galactica". You can find my thoughts a decade back, when it was relevant.
Back to the topic... I've been idly poking at my supercut. Figuring out which bits are lame filler and such, to try to highlight the throughline of Larson's intended narrative arc. I wish they hadn't locked G80 into its time period, or there might be something more salvageable from there than "The Return of Starbuck". I've seen the various remastering and restorations, and have been less than thrilled with each approach. I re-read Richard Hatch's trilogy from time to time, and often think about the Second Coming "trailer"/pitch and what could have been. This is a story still crying out for continuation, but today, I don't know how possible that might be...
