The Brains Behind the New Battlestar Galactica
Meet the new Battlestar Galactica. Not the same as the old Battlestar Galactica.
If you've been watching SciFi Channel regularly for the past year or are just an uber-channel surfer with basic cable, then you've probably already have seen the new Battlestar Galactica. The show is based on the original Star Wars-inspired television series from the 1970's that ran for only one season and is now something of a cult classic.
The new Battlestar, now in its second season, was a surprise hit for SciFi and has caught the attention of a larger-than-expected mainstream audience as well as the mainstream media (MSM). That hit home last week when a big feature on Battlestar Galactica appeared across the pages of New York Times Magazine.
The article explores the journey of Battlestar from obscurity as a piece of 70's prime-time dross to its second-coming as a serious and compelling dramatic series. The story of how the new BG got produced and how its creator developed a vision for the new series is fascinating. Check the link to the original New York Times Magazine article below.
