The upcoming remake of Battlestar Galactica won’t be able to recapture the unique element that made the 2004 series so revolutionary. The first Battlestar Galactica was firmly of its times, a solid if ultimately forgettable sci-fi series in an age where Star Trek was the industry standard. The remake of the show, which debuted in 2004, conversely became a critical smash-hit that changed the way sci-fi is presented on TV. A hard reimagining that kept the inherent premise but introduced fresh takes on characters and concepts from the original, Battlestar Galactica became a massive hit.
