New Battlestar Galactica Series Greenlighted

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the starbuck-and-apollo dept.

Trunks writes "A few days ago the Sci Fi Channel officially announced a 13 episode season for Ronald Moore's Battlestar Galactica remake. Looks like they'll be bringing back most of the cast members, including Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell. The new series will begin a few days after the miniseries that aired a few months back. Production commences next month in Vancouver, B.C." This had been speculated previously, and the rumors are indeed true.

    I watched that show thinking it would be laughable, but I wound up enjoying it.

    Ballistic missiles over beam weapons. Mmmm.

    But they have to bring back the original theme song.

    Are we really so out of ideas?

    You must not have seen the billboard ads for the Starsky & Hutch movie, starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson.

    Is the entertainment industry out of ideas? In a word... YES.

    "The new series will begin a few days after the miniseries that aired a few months back."

    That would either qualify this as OLD news, or
    one of the most tortured sentences I've seen in a while....

    to destroy the human race they create a sexy blonde android that seduces our best programmer
    Agreed. It would have been much more realistic if the Cylons had created a middle-aged suit-wearing Business Consultant who outsources Boltar's job to a distant planet.

    So in Canada, the pentagon only has four sides? You guys always get screwed on the exchange rate.
