SciFi Channel To Air A New Galactica Series
EvilBuu writes "The Sci-Fi Channel has begun airing ads announcing a full Battlestar Galactica series following the surprisingly (to some) good new mini series starring Edward James Olmos. Looks like it will be a straight forward continuation of the mini, with the same cast and more Cylon goodness!" According to this press release, Richard Hatch will guest star, and the show will air starting in January 2005.
They don't find the ratings too low and revamp it into Galactica 2006. "Hey, look, we're on Earth now!"
God, I hope he keeps his clothes on this time. And Olmos better watch out, or he'll find that everyone has voted him off the Galactica
*yes I know it's a different Richard Hatch.

Well, at least you're not bitter about it.
Show me on the doll where his noodly appendage touched you.
I'll be cancelled.
I think you may be cancelled way earlier than that... let me make a few phone calls.
(sorry, could not resist)

Actually, I can imagine that no-name cylons would be cheaper -- no need to pay a recurring actor/actress since anyone can don a costume and continue... Plus I seem to recall that the identity of the Cylon infiltrators was already known... Unless the lookaline happens to have been the human from which they cloned the appearance...
f ace..
For my predictions:
A cylon becomes a 7-of-9; that is, it integrates into human culture. There will be some episodes where it reverts back to its roots, but somehow, through sheer human (ha) will, overcomes its mechanical nature. A human crewmember falls in love with the Cylon.
A Cylon and a human get trapped on a planet. They need to overcome their differences in order to survive. Someone insults Mickey Mouse. One says, "Picard in big chair, turning."
A human infiltrates Cylon HQ by mimicking Capt. Kirk's robotic delivery: Jones....Jones.....Cannot....keep....straight....
A crew member dies in an early episode but reappears in a later one as the son/daughter/doppelganger. Time travel may be involved. Or cloning. Or, egads, Cylons replicating. They'll call him Duncan. Duncan Idaho. Or Tasha if it's a she.
A gay space pirate named Sonny Crockett appears. He seems to know the captain from way back... Rumors float and some light-hearted banter.
Do I really want more?
Maybe the Cylons and Daleks can once and for always
make space safe for inorganics.

You must think in Russian.

Provided the Cylons in question are portrayed by Tricia Holfer and Grace Park, I have no problem with that scenario.
How to solve most of our problems: 1.Lots of nuclear plants. 2.Cure aging.
