Second Coming


I realize 2d Coming was only a trailer, but for those of us who will never have the chance to see it (since I doubt the legal issues will ever be reolved to make it available for sale or accessible on the Net) can someone who has seen it flesh out the diea?

What were the broad outlines of the story it was trying to tell?

(As an aside, it was touching to see that Hatch was able to get so many of the original cast member -- especially the late, great John Colicos -- to participate. The critics always blasted BG, but given the constraints the creative team had to work under, they produced something special. I think the response from the cast members after a quarter of a century bears this out.)

20 years after the events of the first series, the humans have settled a new planet. Apollo was the Commander, Athena was the XO.

The trailer started with Apollo speaking to his log about the return of the Cylons. Then he was with Dr. Salik who told him they haven't seen the Cylons in five years. Apollo says he's seen the Cylons and they're coming. He gives a speech to a group of teens, Boxey (now Troy) included. Apollo and Bojay watch the teens train and Bojay says, "These kids have no idea what they're in for." Suddenly, BAltar appears and shouts "Greetings." He tells Apollo about a Cylon Civil War and then says "Starbuck, surely he must be dead by now." The Warriors decide to go after Starbuck. Athena says to Apollo, "If you leave, I will take command." and "My brother will bring him back." Apollo argues with the council, led by Xaviar from G80. A battle ensues between the Cylons and the Vipers as they swarm around the Fleet.

Sounds amazing! I wish they'd made this into a film. Sadly (from my point of view at least) they had to go down the remake road.

I look forward to the day when I can see this trailer on the big screen... maybe alongside the feature prints of Battlestar Galactica and Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack. They should make it an event somewhere. Lots of 30-something TOS fans like me wouldn't miss it.
