"The roots of the original show are embedded in our show. Our show's premise is the same as the premise they had in 1978. Hopefully, what we're doing with our show is embracing that premise and trying to be honest with it. We're asking what would really happen in that situation. What would really happen if your world was destroyed? What would really happen if you were trapped on these ships? What would really happen to people---rather than archetypes---if this happened to them? I've always felt we were trying to really embrace the core that is Battlestar Galactica."
-Ronald D. Moore, Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion, p.155-
There's so much to love and appreciate in both versions of the series, the first from its original creator Glen A. Larson to Ronald D. Moore's reimagined work. They are both exceptional top flight science fiction sagas.
I'm not sure why it has to be one or the other for some people.
For me, these are two exciting, unique, throughtful, thoroughly realized and colored series worthy of your reflections. They are both refreshingly different.
This writer never tires of returning to both. How lucky we are to have them. And of course the latter wouldn't have existed without that original.
