In order to clear the air I have discussed the issue with two administrators and it has been agreed that the issue be resolved by
WP:DR as consensus seems unlikely, to show good faith I have included the citations I plan to use in the WP:DR

I've added the tags in the short term as I expect that we'll resolve this pretty quickly, unfortunately I was away for a few days and the DRN was closed prematurely. Essentially, the tense has never been the issue just the fact that the show is an Anglo-American/US-UK co-production. We need to write up a section on production (unusual that it is missing) and add 'UK' to the info-box with 'seasons 1, 4' in brackets.
I remember that the term "re-imagining" was used to market this series, I just don't understand why Wikipedia should also use the marketing term. There is not even an article about "re-imagining" in Wikipedia, exactly because it's just a marketing term for remake.
So could someone who advocates the use of "re-imagining" over "remake" please explain what the term mean, and in particular, where "re-imagining" and "remake" differ enough to use the obscure term over the common one?

does not mention your restriction: "In serial fiction..."The restriction is right there in the first three words.

does not mention your restriction: "In serial fiction..."is wrong. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 09:39, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
I'm sorry but "The restriction that does not exist is that on TV and movies" does not make sense. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 13:53, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
As an illustration that Wikipedia prefers general-audience language to domain-specific language: Firefly_(TV_series)#Fandom clearly describes that fans of the series are called "Browncoats", and still uses "fan" twice as often as "Browncoat" in this section.- 91.10.26.55 ( talk) 22:50, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
Because of many similarities or common details, the series may have been influenced by the Macross 7 Anime series, whicn in turn may have been influenced by the 1978 Galactica series. The Macross Frontier Anime sequel then might again be influemced by BSG (2004). It doesn not negate the influence of Star Wars or other epic SciFi, but the specific closeness in the general story and many details (like key symbols, technical design, sounds, camera work) suggest a field of shared inspirations.

Seems odd, that after all this time, there doesn't seem to be a production section, why is that? I'll get on it when I have time. Also, it seems that BSkyB co-produced the 2nd season as well [1] regards. Twobells ( talk) 14:59, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

I believe we should add another genre onto the genre section. It should be tragedy because BSG shares many hallmarks of tragedy especially Greek Tragedy. Tragedy being a genre of suffering that invokes catharsis in the audience. And one of the main point of the show was the constant suffering faced by the characters themselves.

@ Drmargi: Many people consider the term "ethnic" to be offensive when describing non-European or non-Western culture or people. Conventional Western orchestral instruments like the violin and piano have ethnic origins as well, in the ethnicities of Europe. The offense arises from the Eurocentrism of describing non-European cultures as "ethnic" without describing European-derived cultures in the same way. It's also somewhat inaccurately used to introduce the list, because "Middle Eastern" describes multiple ethnicities in a way that Japanese and Armenian do not. If you don't like "non-European" because it "European" is ambiguous as to whether it includes European-derived cultures like the United States, then perhaps "non-Western" would be more accurate and less distracting? -- Beland ( talk) 21:19, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
