      [continued from previous message]              groundbreaking, innovative, and captivating. It will try to appeal to       both the old and new fans of the franchise, and to attract a new       generation of viewers.              The new Battlestar Galactica series is expected to launch in 2024, and       it will be available exclusively on Peacock. It will be a long-awaited       and exciting addition to the sci-fi genre, and to the Battlestar       Galactica legacy. So say we all!              Now, you might be curious, how will the new series begin? Well, I have       a possible opening scene that will start the new series from the exact       moment of the closing scene of the 2004 series and tie it in all       together for old and new fans alike. The scene will be so remarkable       that everyone who knows anything about Battlestar Galactica will be       shocked and speaking about it for years to come. Here it is:              The scene opens with a montage of shots of the humans and the Cylons       living on Earth, blending in with the primitive humans, farming,       hunting, building, teaching, learning, loving, and dying. We see       glimpses of the familiar faces of the main characters, as well as some       of the new ones. We hear a voice-over narration by an angelic version       of Number Six, who says:              “150,000 years ago, a group of refugees from a distant star system       arrived on this planet. They were the survivors of a devastating war       between two races: the humans and the Cylons. They had been searching       for a new home, a new hope, a new Earth. They found it here. They       decided to leave behind their technology, their history, their       identity, and start anew. They hoped to create a peaceful and       harmonious society, where humans and Cylons could coexist as one. They       hoped to break the cycle of violence and hatred that had plagued them       for millennia. They hoped to be the ancestors of a better future.”              The montage ends with a shot of Hera, the human-Cylon hybrid, running       in a field, holding the hands of her parents, Athena and Helo. She       looks happy and innocent, unaware of her destiny. The voice-over       continues:              “They had a special child, a miracle, a bridge between two worlds. Her       name was Hera. She was the first of her kind, the first human-Cylon       hybrid. She was the mitochondrial Eve of all modern humans, the mother       of us all. She carried the genetic legacy of both races, the hope of       both races, the fate of both races. She was the key to everything.”              The shot fades to black, and we hear the familiar sound of a Cylon       detector, a device that was used to identify Cylons among humans. The       sound is followed by a beep, indicating a positive result. The       voice-over says:              “But they were not alone. They were not the only ones who came to this       planet. They were not the only ones who had a plan. They were not the       only ones who had a destiny. They were not the only ones who had a       child.”              The screen flashes with the title: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.              The scene cuts to a modern-day laboratory, where a group of scientists       are conducting an experiment. They are wearing white coats and       protective goggles, and they are surrounded by high-tech equipment.       They are testing a sample of DNA, extracted from a fossilized bone.       One of the scientists says:              "Okay, we have the results              One of the scientists says:              “Okay, we have the results. The DNA sample is from a Homo sapiens       sapiens, dating back to about 150,000 years ago. Nothing unusual       there.”              Another scientist says:              “Except for one thing. Look at this. The sample has a strange anomaly.       It has a segment of DNA that is not human. It is not from any known       species on Earth. It is… alien.”              The first scientist says:              “What? That’s impossible. How can that be? Are you sure this is not a       contamination or a mistake?”              The second scientist says:              “I’m sure. I’ve checked and double-checked. This is real. This is a       genuine alien DNA. And it’s not just a random mutation. It’s a       functional gene. It codes for a protein that is involved in cellular       respiration. It’s like… it’s like this person had a hybrid metabolism.       Half human, half alien.”              The first scientist says:              “That’s incredible. That’s amazing. That’s… that’s…”              The second scientist says:              “That’s what?”              The first scientist says:              “That’s her. That’s Hera. That’s the mitochondrial Eve. That’s the       mother of us all.”              The second scientist says:              “Who?”              The first scientist says:              “Hera. The child of the prophecy. The child of the gods. The child of       the humans and the Cylons. The child who came to this planet 150,000       years ago, with a group of refugees from a distant star system. The       child who carried the genetic legacy of both races, the hope of both       races, the fate of both races. The child who was the key to       everything.”              The second scientist says:              “What are you talking about? What prophecy? What gods? What humans and       Cylons? What refugees? What star system? What key?”              The first scientist says:              “Didn’t you watch the show? The show that changed everything. The show       that revealed everything. The show that ended everything. The show       that started everything. The show that was the truth. The show that       was the legend. The show that was the history. The show that was the       future. The show that was… Battlestar Galactica.”              The screen flashes with the title: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.              The scene ends with a shot of the Earth, zooming out to reveal the       stars, and then the logo of Peacock, the streaming service that will       air the new series.              View the attachments for this post at:       http://www.jlaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=659099802#659099802              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
