O.k., I both want to here suggestions for a spin-off (if one should happen), and opinions of my ideas. I have two:
1. They meet up with the Pegasus. They decide that they double their chances of surviving by splitting the fleet between the two Battlestars, and severing all ties.
The problem with this is that the two series (the second probably called "Battlestar Pegasus") would be so similar.
2. During a Cylon attack the fleet is forced to jump, but one ship is damaged and can't. It is forced to put down on a planet that is harsh, but inhabitable. The area that they land in is, for some reason, impossible for the Cylon's to attack from the air. So instead they have to send ground forces, and only in small numbers (can't think of a reason for this either, but it would have to be addressed). The series could be constructed around the people trying to make the place habitable.
Still, that leaves some big problems to be solved story-wise to make it make sense. I'd suggest calling it "Battlestar Galactica: Stronghold."

No spin-off please. All I want is what TOS never received...an end. Take this show from start to finish and I will be a very happy man. End BSG without any real conclusion and spin it off into different incarnations and I most likey would give it a lukewarm reception. One show one conclusion, it is not much to ask for and I think it is what Moore has in mind anyway. If there is a spin-off I doubt you will find Moore at the helm.

Actually I'd prefer NOT to see Moore at the helm. I'm saying the two shows would be going on simultaneously, and hence we'd have the same problem asa increasing episode numbers. Instead, let Moore write the pilot, and hand select the crew for the new show, then back off, and focus on TNS. The only shared crew-member should be continuity editor.

Urk...maybe after the very last season of TNS (may that not be for a good long time!)...are we in spinoff country already? Not to sound too bitchy, but I'd rather not see BSG turn into a tired old franchise like Star Trek has in recent times. After the series finishes, maybe a movie or two would be nice, and if the plot development allows a new series on some premise then that'd be great. But for now let's concentrate on TNS in its current incarnation, please.  |

Well a well done prequel about the uprising of the cylons would be a good one and wouldn't hurt the current series.

I'm with MJM and Ladyrheena on this. No prequels/sequels/spin-off shows please.
Trouble is we have to assume he's already picked the group of writers he really likes to work on BSG. Thus, any second series inherently implies either sending some of the BSG scribes to work on it, or that the second series staff would be simply be second string,
Not sure that works. If the two series are going to exist in the same universe and timeframe, you do need someone making sure the second one stays true to (as well as significantly different from) the spirit and intentions of the first. That's much more than a simple continuity job.

I think a spin off in a few years would work. If they did one now, it would have to be about the Pegasus and have to start at the start of the war like Galatica did. Maybe something where Cain get away and starts gurellia like tatics with the twelve colonies and tries to take them back. End of first season he finds a group of suriviors in the outer region and has to help them find Galatica which is what the ships were doing out there to begin with.  |

A spin-off may or may not work a few years down the road. Right now, i'm too busy enjoying TNS to even think about it. Besides, the last spin-off of BSG gave us BSG 1980!   Now, a feature movie in line with the new story and characters...  |

If there was a spin off I love to see a prequel, even if it didn't have much of young William Adama.
It would be nice to see just how they messed up by increasing the cylons AI and then the initial revolt.

Hi! "The Battlestar Pegasus" or " Battlestar Galactica: Stronghold" sounds interesting. As we have all noted , the rag tag fleet HAS to be only one fragment of many to survive the Cylon onslaught. Thats why I posted a fanfic story about other survivors on the Fanfic , Projects and other media thread entitiled "The End of Things . . ." I think It would make a good basis for a spin off series. I would love to hear your comments on the Fanfic feedback and comments thread. Please do read and comment, I would really like to know. thanks tygertim8 [quote author=Mustex I both want to here suggestions for a spin-off (if one should happen), and opinions of my ideas.

Actually, they could maybe release a mini to start the spin-off along with the premiere of season 3, then get the series ready to go with season 4. That would work. |
