Ismeal's tweet about it taking place in the mythology but not retelling the Ronald D Moore story has me...not sure. Another version of the run from the Cylons would have been too much, but also...all the spin offs of the Moore BG were also...lacking.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Razer was good.

But yeah, we've done the Cylons hunting the Humans plotline twice now and both times it hasn't ended well, so I'm skeptical that a 3rd iteration could work. Also, the first 2 1/2 seasons of BSG 04 are masterpieces, so I don't see how a new series in a similar setting could have the same impact, because it's already been done.
