Looks like the new BSG reboot film will be happening after all.

This will not end well.

Okay, I know this is more of a reboot of the original BSG than the re-imagined series (as that, too, was a reboot of the original story itself), and I'm sure that there are handfuls of people who were fans of the original series who are excited for this to be happening. I know Richard Hatch has expressed that any kind of extension of the BSG universe, if done well, is good by him. But with the success of the re-imagined BSG, complete with how it made a fundamental impact on the science fiction genre and it celebrated the deep, strong messages that other shows can't even compare to, I don't know. I just have mixed feelings since I know I shouldn't be knocking something that is rebooting of the original series that I have no interest in, however I still feel like it's too soon to be introducing a reboot of anything when there's already been a well-done reboot in the first place. Never mind I'm sure this is going back to the Casino planets and weird aliens and a male!Starback with no female president (or strong female characters who are treated equally) and just, ugh. DNW.

I noticed that too. That has been happening a lot lately: some sort of strange backlash were female characters are fewer than they used to be and often even more stereotypical.

I'm sure Dirk Benedict will be thrilled to hear about this news then, seeing as how he had a misogynistic attitude when they made Starbuck into a women. I'm sure he'd approve of an all-male-oriented BSG movie. *rolls eyes*
