The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

This is a proposed film that would have served as a pilot for a new television series continuing the original Battlestar Galactica story. It ignores the later 1980 series and aims to bring back the characters and setting of the 1978 show.

What happens

Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming was a proposed 1999 science-fiction action film. It was a project to create a pilot film for a proposed new Battlestar Galactica television series that would pick up where the original 1978 series left off. All continuity related to Galactica 1980 would have been completely ignored. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
