The last reboot was so well casted, acted, scored, written, and is even more culturally relevant now then when it came out.
It's a hell of a pipe dream to imagine making something better at this point.
If Sam Esmail was showrunner, I'd think he might do something interesting with it, but since he's only producing, I'm guessing not. But even if it does end up being good, it should still never have been greenlit in the first place in my opinion. It might be good despite that. I'll keep an open mind and watch the pilot because I will give practically anything taking place in space a chance, but I wish something else was given a shot instead and I'm not hopeful.
I'm sure I'll check it out and something else should have been given a chance, on board with both of those myself
As an example, you see a lot of high-budget TV and movie productions scored by Bear McCreary nowadays. The dude made his chops with BSG, and has done a ton of work since.
Black Sails was glorious
His BSG music was terrific, but the McCreary music I find myself always going back to for comfort is his Eureka music. It's just so cheery in a happy synth way. It's like if Devo wrote Disney music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKf916cAcgc
It won't be hard beat the last season or two.
