Dept. of “Me Too! Me Too!”

Universal is apparently making a big-screen re-reboot of Battlestar Galactica — with Bryan Singer attached — that will share essentially none of the lore from the groundbreaking, award-winning TV reboot.

It’s really hard to understand this as anything but a craven attempt to mine geek wallets. Of course, that’s what the original BSG was in the 70s — it debuted in the wake of Star Wars’ huge success — so I guess in some ways this is just a return to form.

One thought on “Dept. of “Me Too! Me Too!”

  1. Perhaps this version will restore the series’ original status as allegory for the Mormon Flight (or Exodus, if you’re being kind)?
