Battlestar Galactica reboot work because it was of exceeding quality as compared to the original, which, like it or not, really wasn’t that good. The 2004 reboot of Battlestar Galactica was one of the first in what we now call “premier television“. And it had some of the best sci-fi writers in the industry behind it.
As a kid I thought the original was top level, and I guess given the tech and TV at the time it was. But looking back at the episodes as an adult, the writing, and the behind the scenes, it was a mess and used SO MANY shot replays because they couldn’t afford to do much.
Still like the OG Viper, even made my own LEGO version of it that was incredible (before special kits were a thing!)
