Maybe we would see Tigh, Anders, etc undercover as observers of humanity? <em>Scam's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Scamtypes/~3/219381157/the-valentines-day-embarrassment.html' rel="nofollow">The Valentine’s Day Embarrassment</a></em> I think a BSG prequel would be good if it in some way explained the role of the final 5 cylons who, reportedly, have some link to the first cylon war.

It was a decent movie in it's own right, and the fact that it was a prequel didn't really change things one way or another. It didn't create a bogus or contradictory backstory or anything like that. It was just an Indy adventure, timeline didn't affect things. <em>Robert's last blog post..<a href='http://expat.savagenet.com/2007/12/15/murder-she-wrote/' rel="nofollow">Murder, She Wrote</a></em> I agree, but not on the Temple of Doom bit.

It had better be really good or it'll be the end of the BSG franchise. Temple of Doom did well because no one knew (no one I knew knew or something like that) it was a prequel until after it came out. The SW prequels were crap in my book. I don’t know about this.

This is why STNG was a hit (besides the time gap between the original ST series and any movies or new TV series), it was a step forward (75 years) and not a prequel (yeah great thanks George Lucas we really needed to meet Jar-Jar). Prequels can be interesting in setting a story we already know, but mostly they arent (Phantom Menance, Temple of Doom to name a few). Lets go forward with with successful series... but at the same time lets avoid BattleStar Galactica 1980...
