Battlestar Galacticahas a compelling premise.
Theres also nowa new feature film and TV seriesin the works.
Richard Hatch, a.k.a.
A voiceover teases that the Cylons have evolved.
LikeGalactica 1980,Second Comingwould have largely focused on a new generation of characters.
We see Apollos son, in a neat continuation of Apollos relationship with his father Adama in the original.
However, this series never went any further than the trailer either.
The Reimagined Series
Ultimately, neitherThe Second ComingnorThe Great War of Magellanever got made.
Although Hatch pitched his sequel to Universal, the pilot film wasnt enough to get the green light.
At the time,Second Comingwas just one of several ideas for how to bring back the franchise.
The studio eventually went with Moores idea for a reimagining of the original series.
Hatch was dubious about the reimagined series at first, to say the least.
It is not what the fans want.
It also features ongoing storylines around the idea of the Cylons evolving and conflicts between different groups of Cylons.
That advice is something fans of a number of different franchises would probably do well to take to heart!
