Too many reboot or remakes of things being made.
A remake of the Original Battlestar Galactica series ended 10 years ago if your going to remake or reboot something you should give it more time to pass before doing so.
Hate the idea of another Battlestar Galactica being made especially with the current political climate which will effect things for the worst.
The Battlestar Galactica remake was frakking awesome from top to bottom and there's no way they manage to make something as good as that. Not only were the tone and narration on point, the camera work really good, the special effects well done, if a bit minimalistic, but the acting was absolutely stellar overall and Gaius Baltar's actor in particular was superb, complex and deep in his portrayal of his character's waxing and waning psyche and inner conflicts.
I guess that NBC wants to be able to battle the two (possibly three) confirmed GoT spin-offs by HBO, LOTR in five seasons by Amazon, Wheel of Time series staged by Sony, and possibly Kingkiller Chronicles spinoff by Lionsgate as well as all the top-draw shows right now for viewership in the near future, but it's gonna be a tall order to do that from content that has already been re-made pretty much to perfection already barely ten years ago.
At best we get something that's similar in quality to what we saw ten years ago, which is good, but not really ground-breaking.
At worst we end up with a situation reminiscent of Star Wars', a genre-defining franchise being run into the ground for cash by greedy corporate A-holes working for the greediest entertainment company of all, with no conscience or love for the original content's soul, lore and characters.
All-in-all, this ''new Battlestar'' endeavor doesn't seem worth the effort to me and there are too many interesting stories that a movie-producing company could exploit and put on the small screen for fans to see that haven't been adapted yet and deserve that honor.
Off the top of my head, a single viewpoint and inner narrator's take on Martha Wells' ''Murderbot Diaries'' with the sci-fi feel and experience could be both critically and publically well-received. And that's just one idea out of the countless numbers lying around there in wait for the right crew, screenwriters and budget.
