What type of Earth would you like the Galactica to find?

[Apothis]

I know in G80, they showed an Earth that was defenseless against the Cylons. I am one of those fans that consider G80 one bad dream that Apollo had after drinking too much Ambrosia.

My preference for the type of Earth that the Galactica would find would be an Earth would be similar to Space: Above and Beyond. One where the human race has just reached its infancy in Colonization.

Q.)Do you intend for the Colonials to actually find Earth? If so, will Earth become a contributing ally, or more a helpless world the Colonies have to protect from the Cylons?

RDM.)I don't think we're going to find Earth.

Doesn't sound like RDM had a clue as to how to find the fleet even!! IMHO
[just couldn't resist that, poor man is so utterly clueless.]

I would want them to reach earth when we were in a place where we could fight back with them, although the idea someone proposed here at CF of them gradually infiltrating, conscripting some warriors from our armed services to augment their defense of our world is pretty cool. Just thought Jaimie in G-80 was a little too fearless (unrealistically) about dealing with these guys from a totally different galaxy, when Earth's big deal was putting someone on their own moon 9 yrs before.

Maybe because he doesn't think the show will run past the miniseries :-)~

[jewels]

It won't, as it's being presented now.

[default]

I don't think the Galactica should ever find Earth, until the very end maybe and even then maybe not.

Just like Voyager couldn't get home until the end (or should have stayed lost out there, which is what I would have done)

Will RDM even have a mini, will he still be around? This "re-imagined" nightmare ain't going to fly, another B:5 The Legend of the Rangers? Remember RDM is doing 'Carnivale' in '03 for HBO. So does David Eick have the weight to continue the production and is Breck Eisner the director? His episode of Taken was the worst one of that week.

Moore's Battlestar lite in March '03, ain't going to happen.

WHERE IS DESANTOS.......?

Oh no jewels he needs to make his mark, he plans on doing it on/to BSG.

Call it "Naturalistic Science Fiction." or Taking the Opera out of Space Opera...................

Our goal is nothing less than the reinvention of the science fiction television series. We take as a given the idea that the traditional space opera, with its stock characters, techno-double-talk, bumpy-headed aliens, thespian histrionics, and empty heroics has run its course and a new approach is required. That approach is to introduce realism into what has heretofore been an aggressively unrealistic genre.

This idea, the presentation of a fantastical situation in naturalistic terms, will permeate every aspect of our series.

dvo47p back: After Roswell's flop, he want's to make a big splash, I hate it when he calls our series, his 'our series', it is an abomination.

Bring back Tom DeSantos!

[vmnjn]

If this continues will they show BG:Redo in the same time slot as late night Lexx?

[KJ]

If anything the battle wouldn't be over even when they find Earth! I'd go for the Earth seen in Maximum press's comic book series with Dinosaurs!, an "Ark?" More mysteries to still be figured out. Lets not forget the Cylon Empire and the 13th tribe elements to be added to the end of Battlestar Galactica final season? Should a real and deserved continuation series come out from Hollywood (you listening TPTB?)

Even when Earth's found how are they going to beat the Cylons? or get along with the 13th tribe? should they be found at Earth in whatever state it's in. Not to mention the battle between Good and Evil, Count Iblis and "The Ships of Light" alot of storyarc from the original series to be cleared up let alone 7 or 8 seasons worth of wandering the wilderness of space. Being the series was aimed at our mythology, either Earth's ancient past or far future should be the time the "Rag Tag Fleet" finds Earth.

"Life here, began out there" references people?

RDM:I don't think we're going to find Earth.

I think if the Galactica ever found earth, they would be the architects of the pyrimids, or the founders of Atlantis and Lemuria.

Hopefully the Colonials;

will meet this.

Whoa, when I saw this thread title and its author I almost lost my coffee. It does however prompt me to ask a question that has been on my mind.

[moabyte]

They should find an Earth that is clean, safe and tropical all year long.

[spcglider]

I'd like them to find Earth tomorrow.

I'd like them to make their presence known.

I'd like them to show us how to end all the petty bickering and squabbling we experience, but according to either series, that ain't what would happen. they seem even worse off than we are when it comes to all that.

[waerloga]

I would like them to find a futuristic Earth which is, at first, seemingly totally prepared for alien invasion, with a large dispersed fleet of battleships. Like the Imperials from Star Wars, they could be nasty and Nazi-like, black uniforms, and a love of battle. They live in an Orwellian 1984 society, paranoid and at eternal war with itself and others, just for the sake of it. Then the Cylons would get the fright of their lives, get their butts kicked in the first encounter, and have to rethink their strategies. After all, why did they desire the extinction of all humans? Becuase they perceived them as a threat to their own existence. What if they were damn right, and saw it for themselves? Then they'd be even more committed to our destruction. It would also make the Colonials think twice about the moral implications of asking such villianous war-mongering humans for aid.

[captmiloman]

What if they were to encounter the Serenity and her crew along the way? Hmmm, possible ideas for some crossover fan fiction.

[Galactifan]

The Earth of today will be fine (the Galactica 1980 Earth).
