When SyFy first advertised a remake of BSG, we all laughed. Why remake something so hokey? I stumbled on a rebroadcast of the miniseries an hour in and could not turn it off. It was not so much the story -- the basics of which I remembered from way back in the '70s; it was the style. It was as though someone finally decided to shoot a sci-fi program for a mature audience, one that cares about story and character development. I believe the discipline of the constraints imposed on Mr. Moore as a writer and later producer of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine refined his story-telling skills. The characters seemed real and their plight seemingly hopeless. It sometimes looked like chaos but we discovered there was a plan, one that culminated in one of the most clever and epic series finales ever filmed. Battlestar is the ultimate TV recycling job, a show that has set a new standard.
