15 Lessons Star Trek 2 Could Learn From BSG

What JJ could borrow from Battlestar Galactica...

But Stick To Your Guns

The Lesson: Remember what we said about Battlestar's problems? Consider them, and listen to what fans are saying about Trek, but we'd warn Abrams and his team not to get too caught up in the demands.

BSG's Ron Moore knew what he wanted to do with his show, and he kept it to his vision, even as people complained about the bits that didn't work as well.

We're sure Abrams has no trouble sticking to a vision, but it's worth remembering that you can't please all of the people all of the time.
 
The Example: Ron Moore has gone on record as saying that the finale is what he wanted for the show, and that fans are free to regard it any way they want.

      BSG was mostly a disaster, it had 3-4 good actors the rest of the cast were terrible. It had one good season the rest was unwatcable If anything JJ should try to be nothing like Battlestar Unwatcable, either the new or the 80s version both of them sucked and are terribly over-rated by fanboys

      Yeah, please stop with RDM a*s-kissing. "No SF cliches"?! Have you even bothered to watch the show? RDM is pushing this BS that because he didn't include aliens and time travel that he avoided SF cliches. But what about tons of other cliches that went on and on trough the show like chosen one (at one point there were at least 6 "chosen one" characters), the special child, returns from the dead, androids secretly among us, Adam and Eve... And he may not include time travel but he included endless and pointless flashbacks.
