It looks like Battlestar Galactica is rebooted for a third time.
Universal is ramping up a movie version of the sci-fi franchise "Battlestar Galactica" aiming to develop the film as a complete reimagining of the story.
"Transcendence" writer Jack Paglen has signed on to write the screenplay. Paglen has also committed to Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" sequel for Fox that will start production this fall.
Original series creator Glen Larson will produce the "Battlestar Galactica" film.

I saw it first run... and frankly the premiere stuck in my mind for a long time as the worst thing I'd ever seen (in about every way possible), and I say that as one with some tolerance for bad SF on television, because I'm just not interested in anything else on TV and have to make do with whatever there is. Subsequent episodes rarely did much to dispel that initial impression. I don't remember it as camp, rather as strained and stiff, which by today's standards probably does come off as camp.
I have not seen the reboot, since I live in a cave and haven't had TV in years.
And there is no Alkibiades to come back and save us from ourselves.
