SciFi Channel To Air A New Galactica Series

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the production-values dept.

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.

  1. New BG... by BigZaphod · · Score: 0, Troll

    I thought the miniseries was stupid. Maybe I'm missing something. It seems a lot of people liked it, though. I thought it was shallow, cheesy, and a sorry attempt to use sex to sell it half the time. I just couldn't get into it for some reason. In fact, I hardly remember anything about it. To me, that's a decent sign it wasn't very good. But.. maybe I'm just missing something. I didn't watch the original BG growing up, so perhaps that has something to do with it.

    Disappointing? Yes. But it shouldn't come as a surprise. For some reason (bad) Sci Fi producers seem to like making the enemy have personality - someone you can talk to. Just look at the terrible things they did to the Borg in Star Trek : First Contact. The idea of having an enemy be just a force that's Out There(tm) and not interactive just doesn't occur to some people.
