… With X-Men's Simon Kinberg

"Universal has spent so long trying to get its Battlestar Galactica movie off the ground we've literally had an announcement about a new TV show set in its universe that's had time to get going with its own showrunner.

No…please…no.

I hear they are setting out to make this remake even 'grittier' than the previous remake.

To accomplish this they will personally drive to each viewer's home and rub sand in their eyes prior to viewing.

I might be interested, depending upon the subject matter.

I'd prefer a different story-line though for this, than the third retelling of the one we've seen thus far.

Perhaps the story of the Pegasus, during the initial attack and afterwards, and/or an overview of ALL the other human ships and their struggles to defend themselves and survive, though if I recall correctly, there wasn't a lot of that going on for many.
