tbh, i wish there were more information available...

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.

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.
