I just wanted to say that I really liked BOTH versions of BSG. Each had its own audience, but the basic story line remains the same. In my own little universe, I like to reconcile and possible discrepancies by putting the re-imagined series first in the time line, since it ends up on Earth thousands of years ago, and the original one in the near future. Going along with the cyclical rising and falling of human civilization, it makes perfect sense that way…”All of this has happened before, and…
I just wanted to say that I really liked BOTH versions of BSG. Each had its own audience, but the basic story line remains the same. In my own little universe, I like to reconcile and possible discrepancies by putting the re-imagined series first in the time line, since it ends up on Earth thousands of years ago, and the original one in the near future. Going along with the cyclical rising and falling of human civilization, it makes perfect sense that way…”All of this has happened before, and will happen again…and again…and again…and again…” Each time, human colonists have been nearly annihilated and scattered across the galaxy…Some make it to Earth, while others hunker and hide until they can rebuild their civilizations here and there. In the original series, small settlements of humans were encountered…who were going to “Earth” or else were fleeing from the re-imagined series. It also makes sense because eons ago, other humans made the same basic trip, and thus as the re-imagined series ended…there were inexplicably already some humans living on “Earth.” This story can replay it self countless times, with each one only vaguely knowing of past Cylon wars, and colonizing humans, either searching the galaxy during when times were good, or fleeing and hiding when they were defeated. I also like to point out lost civilizations here on Earth…and possibly Mars…Those mysterious pyramids under the ocean…Those archaeological structures on Mars, the historical myths and legends that have been passed down over the ages here. Sooooooooo much “forgotten” history! :o)<br />
<br />
Also…the Cylons…In my personal little reality, they were invented by humans with mental downloads as shown in Caprica…and thus were human enough to rebel. Later between the BSG stories, the Reptilian Cylons and the evil Count Iblis used them for their own purposes, and humans believed THEY were the creators of the “toasters.” The Reptilian Cylons had no use for human Skin Jobs, thus they are no longer a part of the story during the “original” series. Oh…and what of the new version of Centurions that went to evolve on their own? What might they have become and done? Did they also enjoy genetic engineering, seeding planets with humanoids of different alien species, like in the other Science Fiction stories such as Star Trek and Star Gate? Did they eventually evolve into a technozombie race known as the Borg? What happened with them? Maybe they just watch and when humans become advanced enough to be a perceived threat, knock us back into the stone age. Soooooooooooo many possibilities!<br />
<br />
I truly wish everybody that wants to put their own spin on the story the very best of hunting possible…and I CAN’T WAIT to see what Richard Hatch hatches up for us! It’ll be GREAT!<br />
<br />
So say we all!<br />
:o)<br />
