I love the original Battlestar Galactica. It’s a deep, intense love, a jealous love that initially precluded me watching the “reimagined” version on Syfy (I ultimately did, but sometimes find myself regretting that decision). One thing I don’t love, though, is Galactica 1980. Sure, I’ve seen nine of the ten episodes and actually liked the final episode (“The Return of Starbuck”) but only because there was a marathon on Syfy and I had nothing better to do that day.
But does there really need to be a new “reimagined” comic series based on Galactica 1980? I didn’t even know this series — which begins next month — existed until a few minutes ago when I read a post at io9 about the current popularity of remakes and rehashes and reinterpretations and continuations on television, at the movie theater and in print. I’ll admit that I’m excited about the upcoming miniseries based on Jericho. And I’d pay any price for a comic book continuation of Earth 2.
But Galactica 1980?
