Our first poll: The BSG Movies

William "Husker" Adama/RAZOR


For Sitrep’s first ever reader poll, which is now on the right-side column of the blog, we decided to ask you guys what you would like to see in these rumored BATTLESTAR GALACTICA TV movies. ETA: yes, you can vote for more than one choice.


The good old days/EPIPHANIES


Apparently, if these movies actually get made, they will cover events that happened before the Season 4 series finale events.

I got a "Cannot Process Request" pop up when I clicked my choice on your poll questions. Perhaps a technical glitch?

The questions are perfect, though.

I think they should do at least on of the films entirely from the Cylon perspective (including how they see).

Yeah, I'm having technical difficulties voting too. But I agree with the above comment. (Yes, apparently this season with the Cylons is *not enough for me* somehow.) I also like the civilian fleet perspective idea.

I'd also be happy with just about anything with lots of Mary McDonnell, James and/or Tricia.

I voted for more story about Cylons in general. I find the Cylons and the mystical side of the show more interesting than anything else. But I will watch whatever they film, to be honest.

The Final Five story would be at the top of my list, but I guess it's hard to say before the finale airs. I doubt Moore will leave much to be desired about their backstory.

Choice number two: life on civilian ships. The show has brought up plenty of interesting perspectives and I'd love to see them get explored.

I would hope that one or all are set chronologically after the finale. Of course unless the finale would render that impossible. My hope is that these characters' live will still be continuing after the end of season 4.

Yay! I'm allowed to vote for multiple things! :D I would definitely want to see more of a lot of things. I'm very curious about the mythology in the show and the cultures of the people aswell as the cylons.

Young "Husker" Adama would be my choice. Perhaps him going through training, special ops training before he 'gets out there', more of his relationship with Jaycie, and even some scenes about his troubled relationship with his Dad...WHICH, i might add, they now have in Esai Morales and you could tie it all in with Caprica's limited run up to the stuff we saw in RAZOR with Young Billy.

I second the Young Adama storyline. Make it like Bourne Identity stuff...I mean the Old Man was a badass!

@cylonlatte: ooohhhhhh, kewl.


*ponders Husker in Bourne Identity scenarios with robots*

Yes proggrrl. I see a chase scene through streets on motorcycles and then a killer mano a mano fight scene. The possibilities for coolness are endless!

Pleeease no more prequels! First Star Wars then Star Trek, now BSG?

Why are writers so scared to tell new stories? Prequels are for chicken writers. Its nice and safe to hide behind the real ending of the real series. Doesn't anyone have the guts to actually add to the cannon!?

I loved Razor, but the ending was weak. The only person who knew the Kara professy died before she could tell anyone.

All three of the new movies should be epilouges to the main BSG series (no matter who dies in the finale).

I loved the Husker shorts. However, even if they make the best Husker movies ever, you still know that he can't die. There's no threat. Like the Young Indiana Jones series, you never had to worry about the hero pushing up daisies. He was invincible.

I don't think BSG writers are "scared". As for RAZOR...the only person who knew dying is called Dramatic tension. I thought it worked quite well. You want the audience to yell "Nooooo! She didn't get to tell them what she knew!!" I get that it frustrated you, but I think it would've been boring if they ended with her saying, "Yeah. Guys? Yeah, What's up? Uhhh, Kara Thrace is the harbinger of death. Okay...yeah...talk to you later. Bye." As for knowing that Husker can't die...even Michael Taylor has said that knowing the outcome of a story doesn't always have to be the point. Sharp writing is sharp writing. I knew William Wallace was going to die in BRAVEHEART, but it was still a beautiful movie. I knew the passengers on the boat where going to sink in TITANIC...still a good movie.
