My original reaction still stands - ‘but why though?’ The first reboot was almost perfect and definitive.
Yeah I'm not in favor of it. The old one (reboot) still holds up well.
Buck Rogers would be a cool one to reboot; plus it already has the " we're going to trash the world " backstory.

I'm pretty much against it because I feel like it's an opportunity to have to explain which BSG is actually the good one of them all to everyone you ever talk to about it. (Also, way way too soon for another reboot!)
The zeitgiest would love the 12/13 tribes storylines. Absolutely no way they get convoluted with contemporary middle eastern issues. Nope. Not at all.
Of course, the original 1970s one was Mormon propaganda.
A Mormon blogger explains it quite well- https://www.millennialstar.org/battlestar-galactica-and-mormonism/
So Mitt Romney is leaving the Semate to take over the Lorne Green role?
Must see TV indeed, Jedediah
Well, last time, when they were doing terrorist attacks against the cylons, it was reflecting the middle east at that time. Except the good guys were the terrorists. I thought it was quite brave as there was still a gung ho spirit about the invasion.
I agreed that it will be topical again. Maybe they won't be as brave. Or maybe they'll be braver.
Instead of rebooting everything let’s get another few seasons of westworld (like season one of course)
They should stop making reboots and reallity shows. There are so many shows killed after 1 season that should get more. Or maybe extent the bsg universe or something

I'd watch a new BSG for sure. I'm not exactly hopeful that it will actually happen. But if it does, I'd still watch it for sure
I'd watch it because I distinctly remember being let down by the ending of the last version -- everything after the writers' strike was hot garbage. American TV really needs to learn to do tight seasons and series instead of dragging everything out until fans give up on it.

It wasn't good the first time around with all the religious hokus pokus. If they god rid of that crap, maybe it might be good.
If you combined the last reboot with Esmail's mindfuckery, it would be spectacular. IDK why anyone would be against another run.
Giver.
Esmail isn't the showrunner though, he's only producing it. So I'm less optimistic than you are.
They should do Galactica vs Ender’s Game.
