ORIGINAL: darth silas Iv been critical in the past over Singers nostalgic approah to making Superman Returns,however in the case of a feature film version of Battlestar Galactica,i would welcome some nostalgia coming after the depressing abomination that was Ron Moores version. What id like to see in a new Battlestar Galactica movie from Bryan Singer... 1)It should have absolutely NOTHING to do with the Ron Moore version. 2)Have the film be a sequel to the original series.In the late 90's there were many comic books which continued the story from the original series.Apollo was now commander of the fleet and the colonials had new more advanced weaponry.Count Iblis is immortal so could easily return(etc) 3)Have as many of the original surviving members of the cast return.If its a reboot,at least have them cameo. 4)Use Stu Philips original musical themes(some of the greatest music that was ever written for tv was in the original series,the main theme itself is the greatest tv theme EVER imo.) 5)DONT have Boxey and his robotic dog in it.The original series wasnt perfect you know. 6)Have the Cylons be a race of armoured androids.Not human replicants of the Ron Moore version.The Cylon centurions and fighters still look cool today. 7)Have Starbuck,Boomer,and Cain played by MEN. 8)Have Count Iblis and the beings of light make an appearance. 9)Most importantly,it has to be FUN.Have moments of drama and even darkness,but the original series was fun and exciting.The new film should be too.The Ron moore version was just depressing. 10)Have i mentioned it should ignore the Ron Moore version? 1. Why? its the definitve version of the BSG universe 2. Didnt they try that with Galactica 80? it was awful 3. Richard Hatch (Apollo in the the original) played one of the most important and best characters in the show in Tom Zarek, his story arc was fantastic 4. The original BSG theme IS in the the new series, it plays a few times throughout it and plays over the finale,and its fantastic, Bear McRearys score however, is in a class of its own, one of the best examples here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlcUwUwjLrs Thats some epic sci-fi music right there 5.Correct, Boxey was in 2 eps of the new BSG and forgotten about,and rightly so 6.The centurions are cool, thats why they're in the series: [image]http://darthmojo.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/cylon_soldier01.jpg[/image] 7. This is just bizarre, Starbuck and Boomer are two of the most important characters in the show, and the fact they are played by women is a good thing, BSG is full of strong female characters, Roslin, Caprica Six, Starbuck, Boomer, Kain, Sharon, Deana, all major characters with properly fleshed out storylines, this just smacks of misogynism, oh wait, you're a Moore Bond fan, explains that, women should know their place eh? 8. Meh 9. BSG has plenty of fun moments, Baltar having imaginary sex with Six and being caught masturbating was hilarious,he had some genuinely laugh out loud moments through the 4 seasons, as are a lot of the exchanges between Adama and Tigh throughout the seasons, but at the end of it all its about the annihilation of the entire human race bar a few thousand survivors, its not supposed to be funny 10. You have, even though you couldnt be more wrong, Moore's version is one of the most critically acclaimed, well recieved and revered tv shows ever, the original was a campy 70's attempt at making a tv version of Star Wars, its like comparing the 60s version of Batman against The Dark Knight, campyness versus brilliant drama, did you even watch this show?doesnt seem like it
