This is How "Peacock-Streaming" Always Handles The Entire Issue of "Money" With "Battlestar Galactica"

 

"So Say We All!!"

What Does "Peacock" Do When It Doesn't Want to Pay The "$150 Million Dollar Tab" On a "New 10 Episode Battlestar Series" That Already Went Through "Pre-Production?"

 

It CANCELS the new series when the...."$150 Million Tab"....comes in, and then tries to blame "Battlestar" fans for its cancellation by blaming "Battlestar" fans for not watching new incarnations of...."Star Wars"...."Star Trek"....and...."Stargate"....??

This Blog is just going to turn right around, and blame...."Peacock"....for not paying the...."$150 Million Dollar Tab"....at the time the bill came due.

Sounds fair?

"So Say We All"

Remember 1987-2002? The Stunning Success of The "Rick Berman Era of Star Trek" Still Didn't Motivate Universal Studios to Revive "Battlestar Galactica"

 

So you see, either way, (failure or success of other shows)....(by hook or by crook), Universal Studios is NOT going to spend $150 million to make 10 new episodes of "Battlestar Galactica." 

Universal Studios will just continue modifying (changing) its excuses year after year, decade after decade, to suit any particular moment in time that benefits them personally.

"So Say We All!!"

Universal Studios Has Also Pioneered a Whole New Concept In "IP Mismanagement!!"

 

If there are other "Properties" that have absolutely NOTHING to do with "Battlestar Galactica", their failures will cause NEW "Galactica" productions to NOT GET MADE.

And then...."Universal Studios"....will blame...."Galactica fans...for not watching those other productions (pictured above) that have absolutely nothing to do with...."Battlestar Galactica"....and then use that...."Totally Bizarre Twilight Zone Illogic"....as an excuse for not proceeding forward with new...."Galactica"....productions.

A new...."Chapter"....in Universal Studios...."Total Psychotic Lunacy With Battlestar Galactica".... has...."Officially Begun"....

Interesting!!

"So Say We All!!"

Universal Studios is So Determined That It is "Not Going to Spend $150 Million on 10 New Episodes of Battlestar", That It Will Keep "Changing Its Excuses" (to a New Modified Excuse) as to What is Currently Happening In The "Marketplace"

 

1. If New "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" spin-offs come along and are doing extremely well, Universal Studios excuse would be (for not spending $150 million on 10 new episodes of "Battlestar"), is that "the market is flooded right now with too many new, outer space products."

2. If the spin-offs are not doing well, their excuse would be, "Outer space products are not doing well right now. Thus, we can't spend $150 million on 10 new episodes of  'Battlestar' right now."

3. If the marketplace is inactive right now, their excuse would be, "Nobody is doing anything new with outer space right now. Thus, we can't spend $150 million on 10 new episodes of 'Battlestar' right now."

"So Say We All!!"

Can We Make It Even More "Blunt" as to What "Universal Studios" is Really Trying to Say?

 

Universal Studios: "We wouldn't want to spend $150 Million on 10 new episodes of "Battlestar Galactica" even if spin-offs of "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" were both doing extremely well right now."

"Universal Studios" just forgot to throw in the "Ironic Twist", that's all!!

So, it's our fault, the fans....right? As in...."Universal Studios"...."Welfare Joe, Frugality"...with...."Battlestar Galactica"....dating back to 1978.

Got it!!

"So Say We All!!"

This is What "Universal Studios" Excuse Would be If New Manifestations of "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" Were Both Doing Extremely Well Right Now

 

Universal Studios: " The marketplace is currently saturated with popular new content from "Star Wars" and "Star Trek." We're going to have to wait for the current enthusiasm to drain out of the marketplace before we try a new 'Battlestar' production."

"So Say We All!!"

So, In Other Words, Universal Studios Still Wears Both Its "Corporate Shoes" on The Wrong Feet (Since 1978)

 

"So Say We All!!"

Sadly, What We Will Never See

 

Richard A. Colla filmed his original version of "Saga of a Star World" (The "Galactica 1978 Pilot Episode" back in the Spring of 1978.) What he filmed was Leslie Steven's original concepts for the series. A more adult conception of the holocaust including more focus on refugee survivors, better character development between Apollo, Starbuck, and Boomer. Focus on Cassiopia not as a med tech but as a "Socialator." The "Ovions" were graphic carnivores in this version. Makeup artist John Chambers and his crew spent months designing creatures for the "Carillon Casino." The entire movie was a solid, unedited event. The entire inhabitants spent a great deal of time planning their evacuation from "Carillon" because they knew ahead of time the planet was going to explode. Lots of extra footage of the Cylons and Ovions underground. Including the Cylons getting into the ground elevator and riding the elevator up to "Sire Uri's" speech towards the end. 

Richard A. Colla filmed a good 85% of this more adult version of the pilot, before Alan J. Levi took over and filmed a more juvenile version of the pilot, which we have been stuck watching since 1978.

The production so ran out of money, that Dykstra and his crew couldn't afford to film the final explosion of "Carillon" at the end. Instead, stock animators at Universal Studios literally had to draw in a "Cartoon Explosion" of "Carillon" blowing up, which is why it never looked good and looked riduliculous.

What Richard A. Colla actually filmed:

1. There was a "Prostitution Ring" within the "Rag-Rag Fleet." Cassiopia wasn't the only "Socialator."

2. The Cylons were lizards wearing Cylon armor.

3. Graphic footage of the "Ovions" consuming humans.

4. "Ovions" being blasted with laser fire with their insides oozing out.

5. Dire survival situations the humans were coping with.

6. Richard A. Colla completed roughly 85% of the filming of his and Leslie Steven's "more adult" version of the "Galactica 1978 Pilot."

7. "Queen Seetol" (The Queen Ovion), having conversations with "Cylon Centurions" underground.

8. The actual beheading of "Baltar", not a quick cutaway. With blood.

9. More scenes of humans in the incubation chambers.

10. Extra footage of the 'Carillon Casino" implying that it is a very dangerous place, and not a "Las Vegas" hangout.

....More to come

"So Say We All!!"

Yet, "Peacock" Would be More Than Willing to Spend More Than "150 Million" on Its "Failed Sports Service Concept"

What The Missing Footage of "Saga of a Star World" Reveals That "Universal Studios" Destroyed Decades Ago

 

1. Apollo and Zac and their patrolling of "Cimtar" goes on for alot longer in the destroyed footage. Longer skimming in and out of cloud cover and flybys of the tankers. Longer combat footage.

2. The "Cimtar" sequence intercut with Starbuck's card game.

3. Jim Peck as a "Caprican Newscaster." Possibly co-anchoring with Jane Seymour.

4. The attack on "Caprica" longer and more violent.

5. Longer footage with Adama and Baltar on "Caprica" after the "Cylon" attack.

6. More refugee survivor footage on the "Rising Star."

7. Footage of Apollo approaching the refugee survivors on "Caprica" near his "Viper" as an alternate take.

8. More council footage involving them, Apollo, Starbuck, and Boomer.

9. Longer take of the fleet traversing the "Nova of Madagon" with close-up shots of the "Cylon Mines" and longer explosions of them.

10. Creatures in the "Carillon Casino" that are actually alien creatures and not merely actors in Mardi Gras costumes.

11. Extra footage of "Carillon Guests" discussing rumors that internal planetary pressures could cause the entire planet to explode.

12. More chaos of the planetary evacuation.

13. More footage of the Cylons and Ovions underground.

14. Longer fire fight across the underground bridge when the Cylons are chasing humans.

More to come.

Is The "SyFy Channel" Still "Putzing Along?"

 

Yes, I thought so. As I suspected.

"So Say We All!!"

Wouldn't The Never Seen "Pulsar Gun" From The Episode "Gun On Ice Planet Zero" Be an Overwhelmingly Obvious Choice For a Newly Commercially Released "Model Kit?"

 

Including the clearly visible staircase and upper platforms for "Cylon Centurions" to walk and stand on, who were originally, supposed to be "Optically Inserted" into the shot.

Another model kit that needs to be released: The 'Cylon Tanker" from "Saga of a Star World." The "Battlestar 1978 Pilot Episode."

Includes a staircase and guard railings for the Cylons to walk on. We sure never saw this when it was broadcast back in 1978.

All of the missing miniature models built by John Dykstra and his "Apogee" crew that never even showed up in the original broadcasts of the 1978 series.

Including this, the "Pulsar Gun Miniature" from "Gun On Ice Planet Zero."

There were glimpses of it in the dark, but that's it.

Yes, "Comcast / NBC-Universal" Loved Ronald D. Moore's "GINO" - (Galactica In Name Only) Series So Much....
