Mr. Straczynski,
I'm sure you're familiar with the Sci-fi channel's remake of "BattleStar Galactica." I, personally, nearly turned it off during the first 1/2 hour because it was so bad, but fortunately I kept watching. The remake does definitely have promise as a series, but it needs some serious guidance to maintain viewer interest, and to get rid of all the ridiculous mush such as that shown in the first 40 minutes or so of the pilot. It just doesn't fit in the way it was portrayed. It is my hope that you might become involved with those responsible for the new BsG, and offer them some guidance abount how to develop a decent space odyssey. As I said, there were parts that impressed me, and it has a lot of potential, but it definitely needs direction from someone different, who has a better idea about what's appropriate for that kind of plot, and what is just plain ridiculous and ruins the entertainment value. A good reference is the sci-fi message board for BattleStar Galactica, in which the problems become very apparent in the mixed reviews from the viewers. There are many, like me, who both liked and hated the pilot. There are those who turned it off without seeing it through, and they generally gave it poor reviews. Anyway, I think it would be beneficial to the upcomming series if someone like you were to intervene as an advisor at minimum.
Warmest Regards,
Taz
