New, Improved Battlestar Galactica with Restored Mormon-y Goodness?

Just as Sci-Fi Network’s depressing and politically relevant Battlestar Galactica is coming to a close, comes word that the series’ creator Glen Larson is negotiating to make a Battlestar Galactica movie.  As with everything Hollywood does now days it would be a “reboot” of the original series.

My question is if it will restore a lot of the Mormon-inspired elements that the original series had, but the current version seems to lack? At least that’s my understanding.  I tried getting into the current series a couple of times but gave up a couple of years ago (I prefer more upbeat shows like Lost).

    I kind of like that the new series isn’t so Mormon…call me odd.

    Yeah, I don’t think it would be necessarily a good thing. Especially in today’s climate.

    Plus, after the success of the current series, I’m not sure why a movie hearkening back to the original is a good move either.
