Reboot Debunking of the Week
Earlier this week, reports came out that a reboot of the beloved 2000s "Battlestar Galactica" was in the works and headed for NBCUniversal's new streaming service. As much as this had us scratching our heads and asking why, we were also intrigued by the fact that "Mr. Robot" and "Homecoming" showrunner Sam Esmail would be in charge. Thankfully, Esmail came out and cleared everything up, explaining that his series would not be a reboot, but a new story within the "Battlestar" mythology. Whew! Another bit of good news from Esmail: Ronald D. Moore has given the project his blessing.
