a BSG prequel series set after Caprica and chronicling a young Bill Adama’s exploits during the first Cylon War

This was probably pitched as [insert war series] IN SPAAAACE!

The writers could just recycle plotlines from the best half of "Baa Baa Black Sheep" for a year. The target audience could be mainstream and emphasize action.

Why invest time? Because you like seeing things that go, "pew pew, BOOM?" (Take as tongue in cheek -- I expect you have higher aspirations for your media.)

Good call. Just substitute Robert Conrad in a corsair with a youthful version of Edward Olmos in a viper.
