Comment on Battlestar Galactica Reboot Moves Forward at Peacock With New Showrunner

I was looking at my Goodreads account and I’ve read around 300+ sci-fi books. There are TONS of stories that could be awesomely adapted to TV. Why do they insist on rehashing the same old shit?
Cuz Hollywood is dying or going through a dark age.
How does anyone else feel about the quality of writing they’ve been seeing lately? I feel like I can detect a drop in quality over the past couple of years. At first I thought it was all the work done over the pandemic but I feel like it’s persisting.
Well last time they rehashed Battlestar Galactica it actually went well, so can’t knock all rehashing imo
Went well? Seriously? First year was good and I liked it. From that point on it was downhill. An entire year lost on semi religious cult BS. Then another year lost in a muddy planet. Then all the “All along the watchtower” mess. With the most stupid ending conceivable. “Let’s throw the ships into the sun”. Why??? Oh and we made such a mess with the story that Starbucks just disappeared out of thin air…
8.7 on IMDb. I’d say that’s pretty good.
People that liked this show as teens now earn money fulltime. So the answer is: consumers with cash reliving their childhood.
Low risk, making tv is expensive
