    The reboot of BSG places it 150,000 years before our present.

    This made a lot of people very angry. I, for one, liked it. YMMV.

        Season 3 was some of the most riveting television I have ever watched. I’m a bit of a sucker but I still really liked Season 4 despite its pacing, it was a victim of the writers strike.

        I didn’t care for their implication that we don’t have a clear chain of human evolution in a sci-fi show but I also didn’t expect that much from a series that had a running and viable theory that Cylonism was an STD.

      When you say reboot, I was thinking that Esmail’s reboot got made without me knowing about it (entirely possible, I’m pretty OOTL on television). I had to look it up that it died in the crib.

      I still consider the 2004 series the actual serious BSG. I was around for the original and it was typical 80s schlock, though I loved it as a preteen.

      It’s a bit weird though, as the mythological baking of the cast would suggest they colonized earth just before the classical era. Trace, Apollo etc.
